Hello,
This site is for the posing of REAL LIFE clinical questions having to do with real patients not vignettes and questions assigned for either homework or testing purposes.
Writing the answer for you provides no learning at all and encourages undesirable qualities in a student who we assume is in a health care related field.
As one of my rounding professors would say on rounds when he was displeased with someone's lack of effort or preparation for the day's activities, "Not good form at all Dr. XXX....not at all." Usually, after one of those types of comments from him.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Dariush Saghafi, Neurologist
