Instructions

You are a medical student on placement in general practice. Your next patient is Ayen Malual, 24, presenting with six months of aching muscle pain in both lower legs when she runs.

  1. Take a focused history

  2. Outline to the examiner:

    • Your most likely diagnosis and differentials
  • You do not need to examine the patient
  • You do not need to summarise your findings
  • The examiner will ask you one question at the end
