took the step 3 today and a patient on the ccs said..."patient and family have discussed treatment weighed pro's and cons and have decided to decline the treatment suggestion"...something very similar to that. So i changed the treatment to something else and BAM.... same thing again from the computer? Then i gave a third treatment and the case suddenly ended with at least 15 mintues left on the actual time clock... what the hell does that mean????


thanks-

Well when i was doing UW and ordered the wrong test that was the response i usually got. but i heard that patients refusing treatment is also possible but i didnt get a case like that. if it was like a terminal illness and there really was nothing else to do then i would refer to palliative care or something. it sounds like you ended up picking the right treatment and it ended early. i tbought there are usually pop up messages saying the patient feels better after the right treatment begins. but yeah i think i replied to your other thread, and would still say there's nothing you can do to change your score now and to just keep it out of your mind and wait three weeks. you might be pleasantly surprised with your score,too. lots of people think they didn't do well but passed,which is all you really need.
