For example, the multiple functions of CN X (vagus) cannot be tested fully and we really do not check CN IX's sensory limb from the carotid sinus function. Thus it would be less than truthful if one wrote down cranial nerves intact,â âCNs II-XII intact,â or âcranial nerves grossly intact.â These statements are actually assessments rather than descriptions of observations which are what the physical exam should state.
Sam Kinison was an American comedian best known for his crass humor and trademark scream. The Grammy-nominated comedian received his first break from fellow comedian Rodney Dangerfield.
On April 10, 1992, Kinison died at the age of 38 after his white 1989 Pontiac Trans Am was struck head-on on U.S. Route 95, 4 miles (6.4 km) north of Interstate 40 and around 15 miles northwest of Needles, California, by a pickup truck driven by 17-year-old Troy Pierson, who had been drinking alcohol.
