Yesterday I participated in another AMSA (American Medical Student Association) Health Fair. Basically we medical students go out into the community and do histories, physicals, vital signs (blood pressure, pulse, etc), and other various screenings (blood glucose, vision, hearing, etc.) Those patients where an abnormality was discovered were examined by a real doctor (one of the clinical tutors from our path lab). A lot of the "patients" just came out because heard it on the radio and wanted a general check up. Most of them didn't really have anything wrong with them. Other things we found out: 1) If you don't take your anti-hypertensive (blood pressure) pill, your blood pressure will be high, and 2) if you don't take your oral diabetic pill, your blood sugar will be high. Who woulda thunk. Anyways, there was this one gentleman, 26 years old, that complained of bleeding from the mouth when the sun was too hot, as well as when he wakes up in the morning after sleeping. Mouth/gums looked fine, and the case had everyone stumped because no one could think of a etiological link between the sun being hot and oral bleeding. Can anyone out there think of anything?
