The Twitching Patient anomaly is characterized by violent, uncontrollable jerking of the arms and head. The neck may also stretch and elongate in an unnatural way. While this anomaly can sometimes be spotted in person, there are times when it is only visible through the CCTV camera feed.

How to Spot It

Watch the patient's body language. Normal patients sit still. A twitching patient will have jerky, arrhythmic movements — arms may flail, the head may snap to the side, and the neck may appear to stretch beyond normal proportions.

CCTV Priority

Like many subtle anomalies, the twitching can sometimes only be detected through the waiting-room camera. Always use CCTV as part of your standard inspection routine.

Strategy

This anomaly is trickier than obvious visual tells (like extra eyes) because the twitching can be subtle during a busy shift. Take an extra moment to observe the patient before accepting. If you're under time pressure, prioritize CCTV checks for patients who seem "off."
