Areflexia-- since when did the patient have a weakened reflex, why hadn't Eric mentioned that?-- and vertical nystagmus? The areflexia was strange, given that she'd just completed a race before the first seizure, but it could be the progression of a disease. This could get really serious—where was House? Before it hadn't mattered if he'd left, but now they might need him.
Amber was still trying to piece together what causes of areflexia would also bring seizures and nystagmus when Thirteen piped up, "How about Miller-Fisher?"
That was a good idea and it certainly explained the rapid progression of the patient’s (Amber wish she’d remembered her name) condition, even if it seemed too fast. Why hadn't Amber thought of it? What wasn't hers she had to tear down. "They said weakened reflex, not missing. And seizures aren’t one of the main symptoms." Thirteen shot her a sharp look, but this wasn’t holding-hands time; it was war.
She'd hoped that while speaking to think of a better explanation-- without that, Thirteen's suggestion would win out-- but nothing came to her. And then Kutner spoke up, "I'm with the Miller-Fisher school of thought. It fits with her loss of senses before the first seizure."
