The Speech therapist that works at the hospital told me about this patient that she is seeing:
Admitting Diagnosis: Patient thinks he is God.
This individual also has a history of tongue/throat cancer and has had a significant surgical removal of the cancer, creating a deformity of the neck.
The patient's explanation of the deformity: it is the result of him being hung on the cross.
Yesterday, the speech therapist went to treat him and when she walked into his room he stated, "God doesn't want to see you right now."
I can't imagine how I would be able to evaluate or treat this individual!

Oh my! That is definitely interesting. :-) Do you watch House? This sounds like an episode of House.
I think I would have way too much fun with that. ;)
