Hello, residents. My name is Mike Estefan. I'm joined today by Maddie Watts, and thank you for downloading this month's episode of the EM Clerkship podcast.

This episode is sponsored by Pearson Rabbit's Insurance, my personal independent disability insurance broker.

We will talk more about Pearson Rabbit later in the episode. Maddie Watts, how are you doing

today? I'm good, Mike. How about you? I am good. I'm energized. I am working a shift right after this,

and I am ready to go. Me too. This is a good warm up. All right, let's do it. Today is round number 17 of the game. Maddie will need to perform today's

case in real ABEM oral board format. She has 15 minutes to complete the full case and she does

not know what this case is ahead of time. If Maddie hits all of the critical actions that I

have listed out beforehand, she wins. If she doesn't, or if she performs a dangerous action,

I win. These cases were created by me. They are not derived from actual ABM cases that I had

on my exam, and they certainly are not real patients.

Maddie, please take out a piece of paper and a pencil, place the paper sideways in front of you,

outline a human body on the left side of it, and let me know when you are ready.

I am ready.

All right, Dr. Watts, this will be a single patient encounter. You have 15 minutes to complete the entire case from start to finish.

Before we begin, any questions?

I don't think so.

All righty. Let me get my timer up.

And the timer has begun.

Dr. Watts, you are working at Clerkship General when the next chart is put in your rack.

It's a 41-year-old female with chief complaint of headache.

All right.

So I walk into the room and what do I see?
