This week was more of the same with a few surprises thrown in. Lots of otitis media and swimmer's ear. Lots of URI's and strep throat. But I also got a chance to see my first case of herpangina. We also had a 16 year-old come in after sustaining a concussion, and a young girl came in and was diagnosed with an avulsion fracture of her right hip.
Unfortunately, it doesn't get much more exciting that that. The majority of my day is spent doing sports physicals. We are easily doing about 15 - 20 physicals a day, with sick visits and well check visits squeezed in between. Other than that, I try to stay on top of reading. As my former preceptor says, "Students can always read more." How right he is!

Student Case #1
We'll do two cases in one just for fun!
Pediatrics: 3 year-old girl presents with her mother with a 3 day history of fever, stuffy nose and cough. Fever has peaked at 103.4 F. What other history do you want to know? What kind of physical exam will you do?
Ob/GYN: 30 year-old G2P2 patient presents with irregular bleeding. What history do you want? What physical exam findings, if any, do you do?
Let's try to stick with history and physical findings for now, then we will move on the labs/diagnostics. I will only give you what you ask for!
Ready...set...GO!
