Subject: Re: CSE Video wants your opinion

Thank you CSE videos
I am an IMG who has been out of clinic for around 8 years.
I studied the usual books everyone does (and I am a double 99er) but interestingly I failed my exam. I had no idea if I was supposed to shake hands, where to look, how to put on gloves, how to give advice to an american patients; even a patient told me during my first try " hey doc you are standing too close to me!"
For my second try I took CSE videos, paid a nominal amount, and was able to "see" how it is done here. I recommend studying FA and watching these videos once or twice,(at least for IMG's).
I passed easily when I knew what I was supposed to do regarding patient encounter, the ICE part.

2 weeks or 30 days?

Hi guys,
Congratulations to you guys for passing!

I wanted to know if you guys got the 2 week or one month subscription?
I was looking into buying if for 2 weeks, right before my exam, so i wanted to know if that is enough time to go over the entire thing?

Any advice or suggestions are welcome!

Thank you!

First of all thanks. I signed up for your videos some time ago. Think they are pretty good, but I do have a question on one of the videos I've seen so far.
This could also be a general question to anyone that knows the answer, even without haven seen the video.
When a patient says they are in pain and they want meds, what is the most appropriate answer? Now I am not talking about saying " well I need to take history, do a physical exam and run tests first" that I know we must say. Some of the tests could take a couple days to get the result. The patient is in pain. So if I have reached a suspicion of what could be causing the patient to be in pain, would it be safe to say " ok I have completed my history and physical examination. I can give you something now to relieve the pain, while we wait for your test results, and as soon as we have those, we will have a better idea of what the problem is and how to further treat you. " ?? I am mentioning this because I don't totally agree with the closure statement in video (2-8). The doc mentions tests must be done, will take a couple days to get results, and then will give meds, including for pain. BUT THE PATIENT IS IN PAIN !!! You can't expect the patient to wait two days until they get their pain meds. Am I right???
Please watch this video again and see for yourself.

Hi,
Thank you for your question.
The CS exam is different from what you would do in an actual clinical setting. In an actual clinical setting, you may offer the patient an OTC for their pain. However, the purpose in the exam for the sp to be asking for a pain medication is twofold, one due to actual pain and two simply for the purpose of retrieving pain medication from you. I would recommend the outline you see in the video for the CS exam unless during your closure the sp request's pain medication a second time. Then you would respond by saying "Yes I can give you some pain medication today." It is very common that the sp will demand pain medication at the beginning of the encounter so that you can be tested on your initial response and ability to show empathy. If you have any other questions please let us know we are happy to respond.

I appreciate your response. Thank you. I understand that sometimes management of the SP may differ from an actual setting, but there is one more point that I would like to discuss. One of the possible Diffrentials was "acute appendicitis". Given that this is an acute, painful condition, would we still ask the patient to wait for 2 days until results return, even when we have suspicion of appendicitis? I noticed the doc in the video did not even consider Abdominal U/S. Would that not be relevant though when I suspect appendicitis? And with that suspicion, should I not keep the patient under observation, should she need surgical intervention. With appendicitis, there is the risk of rupture, correct? That's why it seemed unconventional for me to see the doc tell the patient " wait 2 days, we will call you".
I would appreciate it if you would kindly take the time to clarify this for me. Also I would like to add to that the same patient did mention the need for an aanalgesic just prior to physical examination, so it was mentioned twice.
Thank you again. Your input is important.

Hi,

In the event the sp should request pain medications during your closure, I would recommend you offer them medication upon your dismissal. This patient did not request medication upon closure of the case and therefore was not offered pain medication at that time. If she had said "doc look before you go I need some pain meds" or something to that effect, then surely the doctor would have offered pain relief options.

You have a choice on your work up list to put the testing options you would choose for that particular case, you can have a list of 100 diagnostic tests for various complaints, however, you are not required to discuss every possible diagnostic procedure with the sp, suggesting the first few test to the sp is sufficient in the CS exam.

When writing your work up its is important to list the most relevant tests. This case was most likely a PID case. There is no problem in listing an abdominal us however, an abdominal x-ray, urine and blood test would be your first work up if you suspected appendicitis. The first differential that is listed is PID. For further diagnosis in PID case a laparoscopy would be indicated. Therefore, gram staining and pelvic exam could confirm diagnosis of PID. This is obvious by the indication of unilateral pain. This patient had vital signs WNL which is contradicted if it was appendicitis.

Appendicitis comes with constant vomiting and relentless abdominal pain, and fever. Moreover the patient notes suggest to you that the case is PID due to discharge, spotting and previous STD.

As you view the videos, it is good to brainstorm clinical ideas, as you will need to do this for your exam and throughout your career. The videos are meant to give you guidance on how to interact with the patient and perform your portion of the exam empathetically while presenting your ability to share your clinical knowledge. In addition, the patient notes add clarification of the interaction you view for that particular case.

Thank You and good luck in your exam
