A shocking diagnosis

J Hosp Med. 2017 Feb;12(2):104-108. doi: 10.12788/jhm.2690.

Abstract

The approach to clinical conundrums by an expert clinician is revealed through the presentation of an actual patient's case in an approach typical of a morning report. Similarly to patient care, sequential pieces of information are provided to the clinician, who is unfamiliar with the case. The focus is on the thought processes of both the clinical team caring for the patient and the discussant.
