Stan Rocksickler a patient who came in with severe back pain.
History[]
Stan came to the ER with severe back pain. After waiting for ten hours to be seen, he was examined by Malaya Pineda and Angus Leighton. Malaya learned he was a construction worker and diagnosed persistent muscle spasm. Angus disagreed and said he believed it was Stan's heart, but Malaya persisted and said they needed to get a CT of his back.
While Stan was getting a CT, he started declining. Malaya and Angus went to see him and found him writhing in pain. He had a pulse on his right side, but not his left. Malaya decided to run the CT since he was already there, over Angus's objection. Malaya was horrified to see an aortic dissection. They did a pericardiocentesis to relieve the pressure around his heart.
Career[]
He is a construction worker.
