Calling out the Doctors

[sarjasy]

Here is where the non-physicians post some simple clinical questions for the physicians and see if they can answer them. Although a highly artificial situation (as they can look them up at their leisure) , I would be interested in the responses.

An example would be a simple scenario, and the request to back up the response with an appropriate clinical guideline.

I'll start:

A 14 yr old comes in with a sore throat and no cough.

On exam : T = 37 degrees C. No cervical LTathy and no tonsillar exudate. Ears and chest normal.

What is the diagnosis ?

What is your treatment ?

What guideline would you like to follow?

I look forward to the responses of physicians (please no NP's or PA's - physicians only...)

Edit: for assistance, one may reference the similar thread, "Calling out the Noctors" found at http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=867296.

MDs: Please do not respond to this, as this is an exact copy of my scenario that I have posted for the NPs / DNPs. This will defeat the purpose of my question,
as you can imagine.

I will be posting a response in 6 days time.

If the midlevels are interested in devising questions of their own, they can do so. I find it difficult to believe they are having this much difficulty coming up with their own clinical questions. This is laziness.

So when are you going to apply to med. school or pa school sarjasy? I know you got a family and such but so do many colleagues in my class now and you could do a lot more good as a DO/MD/PA then a NP.
