David is an accountant with a busy schedule from Manhattan, New York. The otherwise healthy 30-year-old male just had one of the most painful experiences of his time in the office while attending to the client. Since it was his second time experiencing such an unfortunate event, David decided to present himself to the Urgent Care located a couple of blocks from his job.
Upon arrival at Urgent Care, David seemed to be in significant distress, agitated, and restless. The Doctor sees David holding his head with his hands and violently walking around the exam room.
Hi David! My name is Dr. Smith; I am an internist on the call today! I am sorry to see you are in lots of pain!
