The club hosted its first Problem-Based Learning, in which teams of four were given symptoms, asked questions, and allowed to request labwork while trying to diagnose an imaginary patient. Though you won't get to ask us questions, you may still try to solve the case using the handouts below. The rules are: read the introduction, then handout 1. Then request one lab test. If the one you request is not listed below, assume it came back normal. Then read handouts 2 and 3. Then read "possible diagnosis" and request your final lab. The solution is given in the final handout. Good luck!
