Hello, everyone, and welcome back to EM Clerkship.

My name is Maddie Watts, and today we are bringing you Case 11 with none other than Dr. Sean Romney.

Sean, how's it going?

Oh, you know, it's going good.

I just got back from the end of a very exciting 6 a.m. shift, and I am primed ready to do an oral board's case. I'm excited for what
