Medical Mysteries: New York Emergency Room -- Tutorial

 

First impressions -- ton of complicated medical content to work through....

Tutorial -- Luana Kapule, heat stroke, dehydration, back pain

Tell me about your back pain

-- Shows it's in the region of her kidneys

 

Give her pain relief

-- Stabilises pain

Nephrologist test

-- Suggests could be kidney infections, wants CBC Blood Test and Urinalysis

Blood Test CBC

-- High white blood cell count - could be Gallbladder which needs Ultrasound, or Kidney Infection which would show in Urinalysis

Urinalysis

-- Normal - therefore not Kidney Infection.

Ultrasound

-- Confirms gallstones - this needs surgery

Gallbladder Removal

-- Success!

Very simple tutorial case to work through, there's also a step-by-step guide for running through it which was rather unnecessary I would say.
