Anamnesis
A 29-year-old software engineer reports five separate instances over the last eighteen months, each a brief, piercing pain located over his left temple, appearing within seconds of drinking a smoothie straight from the fridge. Every single time the pain has eased completely within around six minutes of him setting the cold drink down and warming his hands and mouth with a hot tea. He denies any aura, any weakness down one side, and any slurring of speech surrounding these events. He says the pattern has been entirely consistent throughout.
