JOSEPH is a fit 25-year-old single man busy enjoying both his work and life as a young man in Kuala Lumpur. He leads a healthy lifestyle, does not smoke, drinks moderately and only on social outings, exercises regularly and is careful about what he eats. However lately he has been complaining of frequent headaches, especially in the mornings and recently he noticed a slight numbness in his left arm.  

He decides to see his family doctor who then refers him to a consultant neurologist in a nearby hospital for further opinion. The neurologist orders an MRI, which is an imaging modality to see inside the brain.
