A man walked into a multi-specialty outpatient medical practice, proceeded to the reception counter and sat down. He appeared to have difficulty understanding the receptionist. He stated his name then his words became slurred, and he began to have repetitive gross upper body movements while seated. The office manager was immediately notified, 911 was called and a Nurse Practitioner was asked to assess the patient in the waiting area. Based on the patient’s self-reported name, he was confirmed to be J.R., a 44-year- old male who has a follow up appointment with the internist who is not yet onsite. The most recent note was written by the internist documenting a visit approximately one month ago for a routine visit.
