John the Baptist’s Brain Scan

Clinical History:
Fetal synaesthesia and involuntary ecstasy; sudden adult-onset soteriological hydrophilia.

Findings:
There is pervasive
rubicund pigmentation
of the frontal lobe and
luxury perfusion
of the mid-cortical gyri
suggesting locust-
ingestion ketogenesis.
Patient’s sulci
are focally engorged
with desert flower honey.
Hypertrophic changes
to the circle of Willis
reveal vaticination.

Impression:
MRI findings suggest Nazarite syndrome. Further testing with sandal thongs is indicated to assess digital non-compliance. The patient should be monitored closely by his mental provider for latent ovine fixation.
