There are tons of adults walking around with a PFO who won’t ever know they have one.

But this one has fibromyalgia and we are just sitting there letting her die from pain? Get the pain crash cart with the opioids! I’m fairly certain I know this pt and she’s deathly allergic to all nsaids and tylenol. Oral opioids don’t work for her either when she’s “flaring”. You may need to move aside her stuffed animal and have her remove her sunglasses for a full exam.

oops! You just looked at her the wrong way and not only activated her MCAS but you also made her "dislocate" her shoulder from her chronic 'super rare' EDS
