These cases have not gone through the same rigorous approach used in the marking of the real RCA examination. However, the analyses provide an indication of how a typical assessor might review and grade a case.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-nhs-blue-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">Summary<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a simple case in that the differential is limited (i.e. the patient tells the doctor what is wrong and what he wants). Had it been dealt with at that level it wouldn\u2019t have been a good case to submit. However, the doctor does ask questions around diagnosis without labouring the point and does empower the patient with management choices. Also note whilst short in time, it covered all the ground needed<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-nhs-blue-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">Timeline<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>0.00 Introduces and checks identity<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0.20 Doctor asks what going on and patient says hurt back laying some flags in garden at weekend<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0.31 Doctor lightens mood by saying serves right for doing on own, and asks him to tell more about pain Patient says pop in back really sore next morning<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1.10 Doctor asks about radiation patient says a little bit had before when worse. Some dialogue over previous events and that doctor has said slipped disc in past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nhs-light-blue-background-color has-background\"><em>This feels easy but I think its because the doctor is following the narrative that he being told the information needed.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1.55 Doctor check numbness tingling, move legs, bowels and bladder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nhs-light-blue-background-color has-background\"><em>Signposts as red flags which is something the patient remembers from last time.

Doctor suggests taking with food and offers, which patient declines<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4.50 Doctor discusses co-codamol and side effects mainly drowsy with regards to driving and gardening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nhs-light-blue-background-color has-background\"><em>Good debate between the two over what patient wants; Doctor highlighting side effects<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5.30 Patients asks if can still work<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5.50 Doctor advises he take a break from gardening and says pulled muscle\/slipped discs take a few weeks to settle<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6.20 Doctor asks if thought about physiotherapy in view of recurrence, which patient doesn\u2019t want.
