This episode outlines a clinical case study involving a 30-year-old schoolteacher experiencing recurring migraines. The primary purpose is to assess a medical candidate's ability to diagnose, manage, and communicate effectively with the patient. It details the patient's symptoms, past medical history, and the results of a normal CT scan, which ruled out more serious conditions like a brain tumour. The case emphasises patient education and the comprehensive management of migraines, including acute treatment strategies, preventative therapies, and lifestyle adjustments, while also highlighting key questions a patient might ask and potential critical errors a candidate could make.
