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).

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.

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!
