Tutorial
Richard Strang, a 50-year-old male with a two-day history of sudden onset of acute pain and swelling of the left great toe, is seen at his family physician's office. It seemed to suddenly start when he awoke two days ago. It is so painful that he could not even tolerate the bed-sheet touching it.
Richard works in construction, and routinely enjoys a few beers at the end of the day with his buddies. He had a similar attack in the right knee about 3 months ago, and right 1st MTP about 6 months. He was told that he had "the gout".
