Brain on Fire Page #3

I'm not making a call

like this to you again!

Goodbye.

Are you serious?

You know, your career as

a journalist is end when

you start pitching me

story about your mother!

Come on, man!

Susannah, thank you so much or joining us.

I'm glad you can make it.

Who's got something? Anybody?

Anything else?

Those panties? From the Senator?

They're still really hot right now.

We're gonna find all of that information,

because Susannah is on that, right?

Susannah, you got it?

The interview with the Senator this week.

Are you ready?

Uh-huh.

Yeah, totally. Yeah, right. Yeah.

- Are you good?

- Yes, Sir.

Okay. We're counting on you.

All right, let's switch topics.

Let's see what we got. Who's

got something juicy, guys?

Give me something hot and exciting.

Who's got something?

There's always a mystery on a

missing main whole covers.

Missing main whole covers? Okay,

we could figure that out.

I feel really sick, you know.

My head hurts and my stomach hurts.

My hands numb and my leg is numb.

I don't know. I don't

feel well, Stephen.

I don't feel well. I don't..

Are you even listening right now?

Are you on your guitar?

No.

- Oh, God.

- Yeah, I'm recording something right now.

- Is it like pain in needles?

- I don't know, okay.

I don't know. It just feels weird.

I've never felt this before. Never.

- Are you just hungover from last night?

- I don't know. I didn't even really drink.

- You're not pregnant, are you?

- Okay, you're unhelpful. Bye.

Hey, what the hell are you

doing under your desk?

- You know, Stephen, just...

- You wanna talk about it?

Do you want me to come

under the desk with you?

Yeah.

I'm just gonna go get a coffee.

You want anything?

I just wanna sit under my desk

and take some personal cough.

It's all the rage with the fussy blonde.

Susannah, what's going on?

I don't know. I guess, you could say

that I've had these flu-like symptoms.

I've had a lot of numbness

on my left arm and leg.

I feel my head really fuzzy all the time.

I don't know if it

correlates to any of these.

I have these..

These bed-bug bites on my arm.

- Let me have a look.

- Right there.

You see 'em?

- Any history of lyme disease?

- No.

Okay.

You can look at my nose.

Can you hold your arms out? Straighten

it in front of your palms like this?

And push against my hands.

Okay, good. You can put

your coat right now.

And have a seat.

I'd like to draw some blood

and do a routine workup.

And I'd like to get an MRI.

An MRI?

Everything looks normal, but

I just like to be safe.

There's a place down the street

that can do one right now.

That's it. You're all done.

What? What? Why won't you stop?
