Surprised terms like "excited delerium" and hysteria don't make an appearance here. (But heat stroke does, which is a term I still hear regularly.)

"excited delerium" is not a medical term and has only been invented fairly recently by law enforcement authorities so don't expect it to appear on historical medical documents.
