I had a patient yesterday who was a sickler and was there for non-pleuritic non mus-skl chest pain. No fever or sob. Not her usual pain crisis site and she wasn't even there for crisis just for the chest pain. She was only 19 yrs old. Would you do a cardiac workup based on the sickle hx? Ive seen case reports regarding missed MI in sicklers. Her pain had resolved. I did an ekg and CXR. Should I have done more?
