CASPer scenario for discussion

[BeMoConsulting]

You are a physician on duty at the local ER. A 'scruffy' looking middle aged man, dressed in sweat pants and an old sweater walks in complaining of severe back pain. While taking the history, the man kept insisting that the only thing that helps his pain is a very strong painkiller. A nurse quietly tells you that this gentleman frequently visits the hospital and gets prescribed painkillers.



1. What is going through your mind right now?
2. What should you do in this situation?
3. How would you handle the patient if he kept insisting on getting prescribed painkillers?
