Instructions

You are a medical student on placement in general practice in Duncraig. Your next patient is Riley Tremaine, 15, who has come with his mother, Simone, two days after he collapsed and shook at a friend's house.

  1. Take a focused history from Riley and his mother

  2. Explain your diagnosis and management plan to Riley and his mother

  • You do not need to summarise your findings
  • You do not need to examine Riley

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.
