@Dr_Lara My sincere condolences for the loss of colleagues from our caring profession…we can but wonder at how an unjust decision so long ago can continue to blight the lives of so many.
@Mo_PedsEP@drshahrul80@MJAckermanMDPhD I keep teaching people that epilepsy is over-diagnosed and to always look at the heart. Arrhythmias is often the underlying cause of seizures.

Patient presents in extremis with hypotension and abdominal pain. This is what you see in the upper quadrants when you attempt to do a FAST.
What's the diagnosis?
