rdfs:comment
  • Cramps is an 87-year-old clown who attended Nora's sixteenth birthday party in iPsycho. He had to be rushed to the hospital during the party after he burped and had an aneurysm while dancing with Sam. His arteries burst and he possibly died, as it is indirectly said by a paramedic. Cramps danced with Carly as well, even though she didn't want to. Cramps is played by Patrick Birkett. He was mentioned again in iStill Psycho, when Sam reminded Nora about Cramps having a "Clowneurysm".
  • Cramps (also known as abdominal distension) are painful sensations caused by contraction of various parts of a humanoid body's abdomen. In 1986, Doctor Leonard McCoy, Doctor Gillian Taylor, and Admiral James T. Kirk infiltrated Mercy Hospital where a seriously injured Pavel Chekov was awaiting surgery. To get into the secured area where Chekov was being held, Kirk and McCoy had Taylor lay on a gurney, with the two men were pretending to take her to surgery. When stopped by a security guard, McCoy angrily demanded if the guards wanted an acute case on their hands. He then explained that Dr. Taylor had, "...immediate post-parandial, upper-abdominal distention.". The guards let them pass. Once in the surgical suite, Kirk asked McCoy what he said Taylor had, McCoy replied, "cramps." (TOS movie
  • When trying to access a secure section of San Francisco's Mercy Hospital, Doctor Leonard McCoy baffled a security guard by describing Gillian Taylor's supposed medical condition as "immediate post-prandial upper-abdominal distension", which he later described to Admiral Kirk as the scientific name for cramps. (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home) "Post-prandial" means "after eating".

(Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home) "Post-prandial" means "after eating". While on a shuttle mission with Tom Paris in 2373, investigating energy signatures, B'Elanna Torres suffered a cramp, complaining that "Klingon bodies weren't meant to sit in a cockpit for five hours at a stretch." (VOY: "The Swarm") While on board the USS Prometheus in 2374, The Doctor told the Romulans in control of the vessel that the Terothka virus they supposedly were exposed to might give them unbearable stomach cramps, though the rash might be worse.
