Patient is a 36-year-old male who was participating in a local radio contest to try to win a car. He and the other contestants had to touch a car and not take their hand off. Those that took their hand off were disqualified. This particular patient was one of only two contestants left after 48 hours. The patient started acting rather strange at hour 48, speaking gibberish and trying to swat a
