Nick was riding his dirt bike and collided with a tree. The EMTs stabilized Nick at the scene and
transported him to the nearest hospital. His doctor, Dr. Shanequa, had been contacted by the family
and would meet them at the hospital emergency room. In the emergency room, Dr. Shanequa
completed a history and a comprehensive physical, and ordered lab work and x-rays of the head,
neck, and back, along with the right leg, because Nick was complaining of severe pain in the lower
portion of the leg. Dr. Shanequa determined that although Nick was pretty banged up and should not
ride the dirt bike for a while, he was fine. The x-rays showed a bad sprain in the ankle area, but
nothing was broken. The total time spent treating the patient was 35 minutes.
(Hint: Keep in mind that Dr. Shanequa is Nick's primary care physician, not the ED doctor.) - Answers
