Some patients just stand out.
A lady I saw yesterday having her routine check up before a surgery. The Dr and I noticed large dark bruises on her arm and neck. Throughout the morning her story changed from falls and bumps to it just being a sore. Her husband was in the waiting room (and this made us all sick to our stomachs). The nurse offered... 'if theres anything you want to talk to us about...' but she declined. We weren't sure if this was notifiable to a social worker. The poor lady didnt seem to want an option out.
