Betty is a 72-year-old English lady who lives with her partner Malcolm in their own 2-bedroom house. Betty has two daughters who visit regularly, and she cares for one of her grandsons on Tuesdays and Thursdays while his parents are working. Betty presented to her GP following a 12hr history of ‘droopy eye’ which is diagnosed as ptosis. On neurological examination, the GP noted that her L) pupil was sluggish to respond to light and she was hypertensive 172/98mmHg on assessment. Neither of these symptoms were present in Betty’s past medical history so suspecting a neurological event. The GP sent Betty to the local hospital for an MRI and further investigation by the neurological team. Now in the hospital, Betty complains of a sudden intense headache with visual disturbance, neck stiffness and nausea.
