Hello, residents. My name is Zach Olson. I'm joined today by Mike Estefan, and thank you for downloading this month's episode of the EM Clerkship podcast. This episode is sponsored by our amazing sponsor, Pearson Rabbit's Insurance, and today is round number, I believe, 27 of the game, Mike. If I'm counting correctly, Mike will need to perform today's

case in real ABEM oral boards format. He has 30 minutes to complete the case and has no

idea what the case is ahead of time. These cases were created by me. They are not dry from

actual ABAM cases and they are not real patients. Mike take out a piece of paper and a pencil

place the paper sideways in front of you outline your three human bodies kind of divide it into three

parts three human bodies and let me know when you are ready. All right my friend I am ready.

All right here we go. Dr. Estefan, this will be a triple patient encounter.

You will have 30 minutes to complete this case.

Before we begin, do you have any questions?

Nope, let's do it.

All right, your timer starts now.

Dr. Estefan, you are working at Clerkship General.

It's 6 a.m. on a beautiful Sunday morning and the nurse comes up to

you and says, sorry, Doc, they're all checking in and puts three patients in your rack at the same

time. It's choose your own adventure, Mike. I have three patients. I have Ms. Taylor, Ms. Thomas, and

Ms. Wells. Um, so Taylor, Thomas, and Wells.

What are their chief complaints?

Well, Ms. Taylor has back pain.

Ms. Thomas has dysuria, and Ms. Wells has knee pain.

Can I get a set of vitals on all three of them before I decide who I want to see first?

No, that's too complicated. Just pick one. Just pick one. All right. Let's do Miss Taylor, back pain.

All right. So, Miss Taylor is a 65-year-old female here with back pain, and she is in room one.
