OUR HEALTH IS THE ROOT OF LIFE
Won't you help me doctor beat
Musicogenic epilepsy is a neurological disorder where
epileptic seizures are uncontrollably triggered by music. Gloria
Estefan's Dr Beat is a catchy 80s pop song where she calls for medical
assistance because music is irresistibly moving her body, moving her
soul and affecting her brain.
Coincidence? I think not.
Doctor, I've got this feelin' deep inside of me, deep inside of me I
just cant control my feet, hen I hear the beat when I hear the beat Hey
doctor, could you give me somethin' to ease the pain cause if you dont
help me soon gonna lose my brain gonna go insane Despite Ms Estefan's
requests, painkillers are unlikely to help with the acute effects of
seizure. First-line treatment is usually a rapid acting benzodiazepine
and long-term stabilisation with a common anticonvulsant such as sodium
valproate.
While her concerns about her mental health are understandable (people
with epilepsy are at a slightly higher risk of developing mental
illness), the majority of people with the condition lead full and active
lives, so her fear of insanity is largely unfounded.
There are many cases of musicogenic epilepsy in the medical literature
but, unfortunately, only a few few are freely available online. One is
particularly interesting though and is available as a pdf file.
It's a 1957 article published in Psychosomatic Medicine that reports
three fascinating cases, including a girl who had her seizures triggered
by swing music that induced, among other things, hallucinations of a
smartly dressed couple.
For those of you wanting something a bit more up-to-date though,
YouTube has the a Dr Beat Mylo remix Dr Who video mashup. Same symptoms,
new medical staff.

Hi, and thanks for your medical question on ZLMH
If you have been tested negative for STD then it is indeed a blessing. A red rash on penis that burns or itches can be due to balanitis or inflammation of the head of the penis and/or the foreskin. This can be due to bacterial infection. It is possible that your girl friend has bacterial vaginosis which is not a STD.
The other possibility is that friction during intercourse is causing infection/inflammation for you. It can also be a chemical irritation from condoms. Fungal infection is another possibility.
Please discuss this with your doctor as treatment will depend on the cause.
Hope this helps. Take care!
