,Patient Information
Name: Bodhi Brown
Age: 18 years
Gender: Male
Chief Complaint: Passed out (syncope) earlier today
Setting: Primary care clinic
Date and Time: July 16, 2025, 12:17 PM EAT
Case Overview
This case study, designed for Week #7 of the i-Human platform (Bodhi
Brown case), focuses on an 18-year-old male presenting to a primary
care clinic with a chief complaint of syncope (passing out) earlier today,
requiring a complete clinical evaluation and management plan. The
objectives are to:
, Obtain a comprehensive history to characterize the onset,
duration, triggers, and associated symptoms of syncope,
considering lifestyle, environmental, and systemic factors in a
young adult.
Perform a targeted cardiovascular, neurologic, and systemic
physical examination to identify potential causes of syncope and
rule out life-threatening conditions.
Formulate a broad differential diagnosis for syncope in an 18-
year-old, prioritizing common causes (e.g., vasovagal,
dehydration) while considering serious etiologies (e.g.,
arrhythmia, seizure) using clinical findings and risk stratification.
Select and justify appropriate diagnostic tests to confirm the
diagnosis, rule out serious conditions, and guide management in a
primary care setting.
Develop an evidence-based, patient-centered management plan
to address the cause of syncope, prevent recurrence, and
, promote health, incorporating lifestyle modifications and patient
education tailored to a young adult.
The case emphasizes distinguishing benign causes of syncope
(e.g., vasovagal) from serious conditions (e.g., cardiac arrhythmia,
seizure) in a young, otherwise healthy patient, integrating
thorough assessment and preventive strategies.
