How could Dan’s acute pain have been prevented?
Dan (preferred pronouns he/him/his) has been having pain on and off over the past
few hours. He remembers the pain started around 7 am as he was relaxing in his
favorite chair checking email on his phone. The intense, achy pressure caused him to
drop his phone to rub his neck and left shoulder, which did not decrease the pain.
Dan thinks the pain is a result of falling while playing basketball yesterday, though he
does not recall injuring anything but his right hip, which is now bruised and painful
when touched.
Dan’s spouse is concerned he may be having a heart attack and encourages him to
call the healthcare provider for advice. Dan refuses, blaming his neck and shoulder
pain on the fall the day before, and asks his spouse to leave him alone to rest.
