TO GO BACK TO MY
At 3:00AM your sleep is interrupted by the supervising intern. The intern
informs you that, as a third year extern, it is time that you work up this
patient all by yourself. You are informed that the intern will be sleeping
in the lounge and doesn't want to be awakened unless it is really, really
important.
The intern tells you that:
Paul Potter is being admitted to your service.
Rushing to the patient's room, you are greeted by:
-
a 40-year old pale, emaciated male
-
in mild respiratory distress.
Paul is fully alert and responsive.
