Dr. Zacharias switches places with his peer, Dr. Boyle, who asks questions about a classic case study that involves…you guessed it—spinal epidural abscess. The conversation gets deep into the clinical aspects surrounding a patient who visits the emergency room several times in an eight-day period with complaints of a subjective fever and severe back pain. As Dr. Zacharias notes, this is a difficult case and “the standard of care is to miss it.” Using a step-by-step analysis, the two doctors offer guidance on where things can go wrong and the factors that should be examined to avoid a bad outcome.
