Clinical Skills Sessions
Case Stem: You are working with a family physician who performs home-visits for their clinic patients when clinically indicated. You can order bloodwork at home with a cost to the patient of about $80 per visit. You are also able to order ECGs, Ultrasound, and X-Rays (depending on accessibility of the home for machine equipment). These are not same-day services for urgent investigations. Valerie (she/her) is a 64-year-old female patient who is part of your family medicine preceptor’s practice along with her husband Paulo, and children Bellamy (30 years old) and Abby (25 years old), who is pregnant and due in 2 months’ time. Valerie has a diagnosis of metastatic breast cancer.
