Chronic vomiting, a flushed complexion, and acute agitation: Can cannabis be the cause? A growing consensus among doctors suggests cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome is real and on the rise.
Welcome to DDx, an original podcast by Figure 1 about how doctors think. On episode 1, host and emergency doctor Raj Bhardwaj presents a real medical case as told by the doctor who diagnosed it. A young woman is almost misdiagnosed - perhaps fatally - when she presents at an E.R. with nausea, vomiting and and myalgia.
A patient says she feels fine. A quick-thinking doctor arrives at a dire and uncommon diagnosis. Then it happens again. And again.
A patient with an acute subdural hematoma presents with no sign of head trauma. The search for an answer almost overlooks an obvious question.
A 19-year-old with sickle cell disease is well-known to ER doctors as a "frequent flyer". Every time they see her it's due to chronic pain related to her disease. Except for the one time it isn't. For related photos, medical cases and links to research on cognitive bias, visit Figure1.com/DDx
