In this episode, a doctor consults a busy real estate agent who experienced two unexplained fainting spells. The discussion covers the need for urgent investigations—ECG, CT scan, blood tests—and seeing a neurologist for an EEG. Despite the patient's resistance due to work pressures, the doctor insists on no driving until a diagnosis, highlighting car insurance risks. The scenario demonstrates strategies for persuading resistant patients to prioritize health.
