The Mysterious Case of Madamoiselle X: Walking Corpse Syndrome
Manage episode 379537572 series 2935879
Halloween may be approaching, but this is no ghost story.
This episode's unusual case takes us back in time to Paris, 1882. It is based on a patient known as Mademoiselle X, who was brought in for evaluation by a French neuropsychologist, Dr. Jules Cotard to discover the reasons for her seemingly strange behavior. What follows in this episode is an exploration of a rare condition in the annals of medical history--something known as Walking Corpse Syndrome (aka Cotard Syndrome).
*******ARTERY INK GIVEAWAY! *********
Artery Ink (our sponsor) will be giving away a t-shirt of our listener's choice as well as a "Show Me Your Guts" artistic and anatomical coloring book to one randomly chosen winner*! How to enter? Send us a question for Mike's Trivia Challenge!
Each episode we ask a very difficult medical history trivia question to Dr. Mike to test the boundaries of his innate knowledge. A source accompanying the question is very helpful but not necessary. These questions come from our audience &, if Mike gets it wrong, the listener is awarded a fancy medical term named after them--an eponym.
From Oct 1st through Nov 30th, 2023 every listener sending us a question will be entered into a drawing to win the prize from Artery Ink. We will pick the winner on Dec 1st & they will be notified via email to claim their goodies. If you already sent us a question during that time, you've been entered!
