Hello fellow SDN'ers. I thought that creating a thread regarding how we think when we approach certain clinical scenario might be useful for performing better on the USMLE.

Here is my example:

Anorexia Nervosa (downy hair) --> Amenorrhea --> Loss of GnRH --> few estrogen, etc.

Pancreatic Cancer --> Migratory Thrombophlebitis (Trousseau's), Trousseau's sign is also seen in Hypocalcemia --> Saponification in Pancreatitis (Calcium + Fatty acid) , etc..

Hashimoto's --> Histo : Lymphocytes with germinal center --> Associate with B cell Lymphoma

Thanks for sharing.👍
 
Any Behavioral Science Question ---> Don't be a jerk or kill the patient.

** Addendum: Unless, of course, the mother is a prominent lesbian rabbi who refuses to let her daughter have blood transfusion products, but her unconscious daughter is 17 years and 364 days-old but she might be pregnant (never know...), plus she talked about signing up to join the military. Also, the younger sister is also waiting in the lobby and wants you to give her contraceptives but refuses testing for any infectious diseases.
