Episode 24: Clinical Pearls and Medical Mysteries #1 - with Dr. Sarah Hansen
"The Patient is a 19-year-old woman of Filipino descent but born in Canada, previously healthy apart from a history of eczema, for which she is not taking any treatment. She had traveled to France on a gap year and while she was there she developed a skin rash that was worse on sun exposure. She also noticed increased hair loss, shortness of breath, dry cough, and arthralgias."
Dr Sarah Hansen, a recent graduate from the UBC Rheumatology program and an incoming Fellow at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) joins Dan and Janet for our first Medical Mysteries episode.
Step-by-step, Sarah lays out what proves to be an increasingly difficult case to our in-house Holmes and Watson. Will Janet and Dan crack it? You'll have to listen to find out, but we can guarantee you an episode 'chock-full' of clinical pearls.
