The neurologist was having trouble figuring out what was going on with the patient. The patient had gone through several tests, including an MRI, which all came back negative. Kelsey had been taking care of the patient and during her assessments could tell something was not right. The patient had intermittent symptoms. When the neurologist rounded, the patient appeared to be normal without any symptoms. After the doctor left the room, Kelsey continued her assessment and found the patient's symptoms were present. She had the doctor come back into the room to re-evaluate the patient.
After the evaluation, the doctor was able to order the specific diagnostic that would help diagnose the patient's condition. This also helped to prevent what could have become a more serious outcome. Thanks to Kelsey, the patient received the proper level of care and treatment.
