Neurologic exam

Interested to know if others find neuro, reflex exams interesting?

I've had the thrill of a full neurological workup only once. It's wasn't such a thrill because I was worried about the possible diagnosis. Fortunately, it turned out to be nothing.

I'd love to have another go round in a more playful scenario.

What all happened?

I think the can be fun. I like foot exams and that is definitely integrated into that part of an exam.

Some of the tests can be fun for neurologic problems. However, I suffer from claustrophobia and have a hatred for having an MRI on the head and having my head placed in that frame and held in place for the duration of the MRI.

My last exam I had to count backwards from 10 by 7's and then name the last three presidents. As i understand it, this is part of the neuro exam.

That's a standard part of the neuro exam. I have no issue with presidents since about WWII, but I'm mathematically challenged, even on a good day.
