A very usual presentation. I picked the baby up and when I lifted his head he made a whole body tonic jerk. Set him down. Pick him up...same result. I went and got the pediatrician and told him I thought this infant had meningitis. I got a 2 minute lecture about how unreliable meningeal signs were in infants and tasked with some reading. He goes and examine the baby... meningitis. Air flight to children's hospital etc. Ran into mom and baby at the PX about 4 months later. Baby lost hearing in 1 ear but was otherwise doing great. Not exactly a "House" moment but pretty satisfying. Cutting the A-Hole physician down to size should have been a teaching moment for him! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
