dr_jan_itor Why cant it be early alzheimers and hippocampus? She could easily have been a former prominent physician and member of city council. Am i supposed to assume that simply because shes disheveled and poor hygeine that she must be an alcoholic homeless person? It also mentions no symptoms of nystagmus, ataxia, etc. +2

kimcharito it said broad based gait and nystagmus +9

lilmonkey She is/was an alcoholic and appears pretty much homeless, just not drunk at this moment. +

fatboyslim @ dr janitor. The question says "physical exam shows a broad-based gait and nystagmus." +

Anyone find it strange that the NBME loves to write questions where physicians are alcoholics?

athenathefirst Their job is to find our flaws haha +

tadki38097 this patient isn't actually a physician, they are trying to show that the patient has confabulation (making up stuff but truly believing it) +

sarahs good point...negative alcohol screening threw me off +

Ppl remember that if you get shit face drunk, wait a day and then take a ETOH screen, its not going to be positive. Don't necessarily rule out alcoholism if an ETOH screen is negative
