Abstract: An 81-year-old white male with a medical history that includes Alzheimer’s disease, hypercholesterolemia and a previous history of colon cancer and skin cancer presented to the emergency department from home due to escalating behavioral disturbances. At time of ar- rival, he was unresponsive to questions from nursing or providers. Instead, his eyes were shut, he ignored outside influences, and he was chanting and speaking loudly with minimal pauses.
