There was a man admitted to "accident and emergency" last night presenting with the most unusual medical emergency I have ever known in my medical carier.
He was bought in and appeared to be having convulsions and seemed to be in excrusiating pain; when I asked him he screemed "I am having a orgasm that will not stop; it's stuck"
He was yelling and screeming for 3 solid hours mamking nioses like "Ahhhhh", "Woww!" and "Eahhhgh (while chocking).
His pulse was 175bpm and 170/140bp.
His eyes were streeming with tears.
His face was bright red.
Then after 2 hours and 50 minutes, he went into cardiogenic shock and had to resusicitated.
He suffered from V-tach and cardiac arrest and was brought back.
The convulsions began again and we administed anything that we could think of that would stop this happening.
We administer a near toxic dose of ketamine and the orgasms stoped.
He then had brain tested and there was a tumor.
He is still there being seen in a specialist unit.

He was given a brain scan and then they proceeded to operate on him to remove the tomour and he recovered.
Then he suffered from hypothermia due adrenal exhaustion.
Temperature was 31*C (89*F).
He was kept warm for 8 hours until he stablised with a temperature of 34.7*C (94.4*F) and is still stable.
What do you think of this?

What you're talking about sounds like priapism, and most commonly caused by mass lesions compressing the spinal cord, or due to traumatic injury that produces a similar injury. However, it is not treated with ketamine -- it is only used in animals and some children -- so, that doesn't make any sense, nor why he would be administered a "near toxic dose". And why specifically is ketamine implied, when allegedly many other drugs (i.e. "anything we could think of that would stop this happening") were being administered to prevent v-fib, and are much more likely to cause immediately adverse effects? I don't really understand the medical rationale here

the part of your story which doesn't ring true is the part about administration of ketamine to stop the seizures. any anesthesiologist will tell you that ketamine is a pro-convulsant, and it shouldn't be used in this scenario. there's plenty of other agents which you could have used.
i believe you're making this story up.

I need to know precisely where he had the tumor. Did it affect his limbic system? Was the tumor in, near or affect his nucleus acccumbens? Or did it affect his thalamus? This is very, very interesting and I wonder where or how I can find out more information on this case. If a paper is published on this case, I would like to know.

you are making this up. ketamine is an illicit drug in humans; it is used in veterinary medicine. besides that isn't the only part of the story that doesn't make sense.
