I fell and hit my head last week,
I hit it pretty hard,
I feel dizzy and it really hurts.
It’s just a mild concussion;
you’ll be fine soon enough.

I feel very dizzy;
I can’t keep my balance,
could it be a residual effect
of hurting my head?
It’s just girls your age;
you’ll be fine soon enough.

I collapsed at school,
they sent me home;
I think it’s stress.
Take some vitamins and see the counsellor;
you’ll be fine soon enough.

I’ve had a headache for five days straight,
I’m dizzy, and ibuprofen
doesn’t work.
Try these, I’m sure it’s nothing;
you’ll be fine soon enough.

I tried them and they don’t work;
my head really hurts,
it’s like pressure.
Have a blood test, may be glandular fever;
you’ll be fine soon enough.

Could you go back again,
they forgot to do one of them.
How could they forget!?
They’ve already taken
seven phials!

Your tests are clear,
it could be sinuses, see this specialist.
Fine

These are my symptoms,
you’ve examined me;
what do you suggest?
We’ll send you for a CT, to check your sinuses.
I’m sure it’ll be nothing.

I’m afraid we found an abnormality,
an MRI should show it more clearly.
What could it be?
Might be an arachnoid cyst,
you’ll see the neurologist after the scan.

Could you come back please?
The scan wasn’t right.

So, what seems to be the problem?
You’re supposed to know,
and have my scans,
where are they!?
I’ll find them and take them to a conference.

I took them to the conference,
we’re still not sure. But go to see
the neurosurgeon in London.
What could it be?
I… don’t know.

Hello, nice to meet you.
Now, let’s look at your scans…
you can see the differences,
this is because your brain is reacting -
which is very peculiar.
So what could it be?
We can’t be sure, but it is some sort
of tumour, though not malignant.
What can you do to treat it?
I’d advise another scan in three months,
to see if it grows. But this is not
the cause of your headaches.
