Mastering cognitive knowledge in a field like family medicine is a daunting task. It is even more difficult to draw on this knowledge, collect and filter the clinical and laboratory data, develop a differential diagnosis and finally create a rational treatment plan. To acquire these skills, the student often learns best at the bedside, guided and tutored by experienced teachers, and inspired by self-directed, conscientious reading. It is clear that there is no substitute for bedside training.

Unfortunately, clinical situations typically do not span the breadth of the specialty. Perhaps the best alternative is a carefully crafted patient case designed to stimulate clinical approach and decision making. To achieve this goal, we created a collection of clinical vignettes to convey diagnostic or therapeutic approaches relevant to family medicine. Most importantly, the explanations for the cases emphasize the mechanisms and underlying principles and not just routine questions and answers.

 

Description:

Case Files Family Medicine 4th Edition is designed for versatility so that the student “in a hurry” can quickly step through the scenarios and check the appropriate answers, and take a slower route for the student who wants thought-provoking explanations. The answers are ordered from simple to complex: a summary of relevant points, reading the bare answers, an analysis of the case, an approach to the topic, a comprehension test at the end for reinforcement and emphasis, and a list of resources for further information. The clinical vignettes are intentionally placed in a random order to simulate the way real patients present to the doctor. Section II provides a list of cases designed to help the student test their knowledge of a specific area or review a topic, including basic definitions. Finally, we intentionally didn’t use the MCQ format primarily because hints (or distractions) aren’t available in the real world. However, several MCQs are included at the end of each scenario to reinforce concepts or introduce related topics.

Demo content

A 62-year-old Asian woman new to your practice is complaining of moderate right-sided chest pain and difficulty breathing deeply after accidentally tripping and falling against a railing while walking home with her husband the previous day. She states that she has not had any major medical concerns or hospitalizations and is not taking any medication or supplements. Her parents died of old age in her 90s and her siblings and children are in excellent health. She does not drink or smoke, is lactose intolerant, is a vegetarian and occasionally exercises by going for walks. She’s been feeling fine lately and has an unobtrusive review of systems. On examination, her body mass index (BMI) is 19.5 kg/m2, blood pressure is 108/75 mm Hg, pulse is 72 beats/min and respiratory rate is 15 breaths/min. General examination of the head, ears, eyes, nose, throat (HEENT), neck, heart, abdomen, and extremities is unremarkable. Chest examination shows normal lung sounds bilaterally, but inspiration is limited secondary to pain. There is significant point tenderness and moderate bruising in the right front and lower ribs where she injured herself. Pulse oximetry is 97%. The electrocardiogram (ECG) shows normal sinus rhythm with no abnormalities. Chest and rib radiographs show an undisplaced fracture of the anterolateral right ninth rib at the site of injury.

1. What additional diagnoses should be considered?
2.  What is the most likely underlying cause?
3.  would be your next steps in evaluation and treatment?

Answer:

Osteoporosis:

Summary: A 62-year-old woman presents with a fractured rib following low-velocity trauma. She has a below average BMI and is of Asian descent. She has no evidence of cardiopulmonary impairment and appears clinically stable except for moderate pain.

Additional diagnoses that should be considered; Underlying causes of pathologic
fracture
• Most likely underlying cause; Osteoporosis
• Next steps; Incentive spirometry, pain management, and evaluation for pathologic fractures that include primary osteoporosis and secondary causes including chronic systemic diseases, endocrine disorders, metabolic disorders,
malignancies, adverse drug effects (ADEs), and nutritional deficiencies
