We had a patient with dysphasia today, my partner was trying to assess her mental status. He asked her who’s president – which is a loaded question these days anyway – and she was trying to answer but was having difficulty getting the words out. So he asked her what color the President’s skin was. She replied, “orange”.
So, is that a GCS verbal of 5 or 3?

Which one means, “Win!”
That’s hilarious.
Nailed it.
