The Cracked Tooth Case: When Emotions Signal Hidden Infection

Описание: Her CRP was 87. She couldn't stop crying. And I almost missed the one clue that explained everything.

She looked perfect on paper; impeccable diet, physically fit, emotionally stable. Then she walked into my office and said something that stopped me cold.

This is the first episode of my Clinical Thinking series, where I walk you through real patient cases so you can see exactly how I think through complex presentations.

In this case, the labs screamed infection, but there was no fever, no illness, no obvious source. I was ready to order a stool test and go down the gut rabbit hole. Until she dropped one sentence at the end of our hour together.
In this episode:

• Why the obvious answer is rarely the right one
• The 30/30/30 rule for avoiding tunnel vision
• How a cracked tooth caused emotional dysregulation
• The simple protocol I used (and why I didn't order more tests)
• What I added to my intake form after this case
