It’s a frantic Tuesday evening in the Emergency Department. You’re the attending physician on duty. The waiting room is overflowing, and the overhead speaker crackles intermittently. Amidst the controlled chaos, your assistant flags you down.

“Doctor, we have Sarah, a 22-year-old university student, in Bay 3. She’s complaining of abdominal pain and looks quite uncomfortable. Her final major presentation for her degree is tomorrow, and she’s very anxious.”

You grab a fresh pair of gloves and head towards Bay 3.
