:50:09
Might be a TIA.
:50:11
I guess we'd better not tell Eddie he had...
:50:14
...blood all over his face when he came
out of the tank. He'll claim it was...

:50:19
...goat's blood from that goat
he was eating in his hallucination.

:50:22
You know, you're really getting
as weird as he is!

:50:25
What do you think happened?
:50:28
He's not the type for hysterical conversion,
so I'm thinking seizure.

:50:31
He came out of that tank in a fugue state
and had blood all over his face.

:50:35
He must have had a seizure
while in the tank...

:50:37
...bit his lip while convulsing
and is postictally aphasic.

:50:40
I thought maybe he had a vascular insult,
a stroke, a flipped embolus...

:50:45
...but neurologically he's intact,
so I'm thinking seizure now.

:51:01
Now you just take it easy.
:51:04
None of us are so terrific at reading X-rays.
:51:07
What are you looking for?
:51:08
Just put these in an envelope.
Who's reading tonight in Radiology?

:51:11
Dr. Wissenschaft.
:51:15
I want someone reliable to look at them.
:51:17
I'd rather not have everyone
in the Brigham on this.

:51:19
It's bad enough we've got
this nosy X-ray technician.

:51:22
Are you all right?
:51:23
I'm fine. I tried to indicate
this was just a transient thing.

:51:26
A transient ischemic attack,
that's all it was.

:51:29
-He's got his voice back.
-It wasn't an ischemic attack!

:51:32
It wasn't a seizure.
You saw the X-rays, Mason.

:51:34
There was something anterior to the larynx
that looked like a laryngeal sac.

:51:37
That's strictly simian.
I obviously regressed...

:51:40
...to some quasi-simian creature.
:51:48
I'll show these to someone
who can read them right.

:51:50
You're reading them wrong. That's all...
:51:52
...because no one is going to tell me...
:51:54
...you de-differentiated
your goddamn genetic structure...

:51:56
...for four goddamn hours
and then reconstituted!
