Idiocy

“Doctor, I’ve been having hallucinations, of a woman in my room. I know she’s not real though,” said one of the actors in my OSCE station

“Err, tell me more,” I stalled. I had no clue what was going on.

“I think you have schizophrenia,” I blurted out for some reason.

The invigilator groaned. So did I.

I rambled on.

“Ok ignore my initial diagnosis. You don’t have schizophrenia. I was being daft. I would like to do further investigations in order to confirm my suspicion of dementia,”

Good save. Good save.
