You are an intern on the vascular surgery ward. Clifford Thornbury, 72, has type 2 diabetes and a gangrenous right forefoot with spreading infection despite IV antibiotics. Angioplasty failed and there is no bypass option. The surgeon recommends a right below-knee amputation tomorrow.

ChoiceHub writes these stations itself, from the ground up, across a wide range of clinical topics. They are not official exam material, and no university has written, reviewed or endorsed them. “Recommended for” only suggests the year and exam format a station suits.
