After seeing a patient who had a phaeochromocytoma (a tumour of the adrenal glands that produces hormones for our "fight or flight" response) removed surgically 2 days ago, co-incidentally, it precipitated an acute migrainous attack. It reminded me of the classical triad of symptoms that phaeochromocytoma patients have: headache, sweating and tachycardia.
The triad that I encounter everyday is: contemptuousness, migraines, and sick leave. Maybe it is a tumour after all!
