chiaroscuro27 Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Wow...had a pt in just yesterday with 3 week onset of chest pain with the hiccups. Did an EKG...preceptor said normal, but it didn't look normal to me: some ST changes and what I thought looked like Q1S3T3. She also had hiccups. Damn...I had to leave the office before I found out what he wanted to do with the pt, but I hope the pt is alright. Kudos to the PA for thinking the case through and doing right by the pt.
