09:44 AM Nat (Admin): I think a common mistake that a lot of people make Is OVERTHINKING!! Pretend you're a monkey. They come in with a major complaint and then you find out some other "problem". It's as simple as saying to EVERY PATIENT, "So, if I understand correctly, you came in because of MAJOR COMPLAINT, and we're also thinking about this OTHER symptom. Is that correct? Is there anything else you wanted to talk about?" I think a common mistake that a lot of people make Is OVERTHINKING!! Pretend you're a monkey.

12:25 PM Nat (Admin): I don't think you'll really need to do rebound tenderness at all. If someone has a real abdomen, you're probably gonna know. You won't need "rebound" to clinch it, because you don't need to clinch. I'm not saying "DON'T DO REBOUND!" but I'm just saying, your goal is to use the short time you have to be very focused and show that you are comfortable with the patient's body, while being respectful.

12:34 PM Nat (Admin): If it's an appendix, you're gonna know from the history. I don't think you'll need to do much of anything that is uncomfortable for the patient. If they're experiencing knee pain, I'm not really going into a gruelling examination of active and passive ROM in the knee. "Patient exhibited pain and resistance on attempted passive extension" (if that) - "Knee was painful on movement" is probably good enough lol If it's an appendix, you're gonna know from the history.
