A frantic young woman burst into the examination room, her face flushed with distress. She practically collapsed onto the stool, clutching her arms as if protecting herself from an invisible attack.
Dr. Evans looked up from his clipboard, concerned. “Good morning. What seems to be the trouble today?”
“You have to help me, Doctor!” she wailed, tears welling in her eyes. “I hurt all over! It’s unbearable!”
Dr. Evans frowned, leaning forward with a professional demeanor. “All over? That’s quite vague. Can you be a little more specific? Where exactly is the pain located?”
The woman shook her head vigorously. “No, you don’t understand! It’s everywhere!”
To demonstrate, she extended her hand and pressed her index finger firmly against her right knee. Immediately, she recoiled. “Ow! See? That hurts!”
Dr. Evans raised an eyebrow but said nothing.
Then, she moved her hand up and poked her left cheek. Again, she shrieked, “Ouch! That hurts, too!”
The doctor watched silently, his mind racing through potential neurological conditions.
Finally, she touched her right earlobe with the same finger. “Ow! Even THAT hurts!” she cried, sobbing now. “I told you! It’s my whole body!”
Dr. Evans checked her thoughtfully for a moment, watching her clutch her hand. A slow smile spread across his face as the puzzle pieces clicked into place. He leaned back in his chair and delivered his diagnosis with calm confidence.
“You don’t have a systemic disease, ma’am. You have a broken finger.”
