March 5, 2012
What would you do with this 58 YO woman with fever and syncope? Well…she went through a chest pain protocol under supervision of cardiology, got diagnosed with a viral illness, and discharged. And she probably would have died had it not been for an astute emergency physician from Kuala Lumpur. What would you do?
