It’s Saturday, the start of the weekend, and you go see your first patient, a 40 year-old woman whose chief complaint is “I can’t feel my face.” On further questioning, she tells you that the symptom started that morning when she awoke, and it’s never happened before. Her only history is that she had “some breast surgery” and states, “All of my records should be in the computer.” Vital signs are: BP 100/54 HR 112 RR 24 SpO2 93% on RA.
