Chest pain is a common complaint in the primary care setting. During the evaluation of this complaint, most efforts are directed toward eliminating the most serious causes of chest pain. Despite a complete evaluation, many patients never receive a formal diagnosis for their complaints, which can lead to frustration and continued symptoms, which can in turn affect mission readiness of a unit. We report on a patient who presented to sick call during his deployment with a rather unexpected finding.
胸痛是基层医疗环境中常见的主诉。在对这一主诉进行评估时，大多数努力都旨在排除胸痛最严重的病因。尽管进行了全面评估，但许多患者的主诉从未得到正式诊断，这可能导致沮丧情绪和症状持续存在，进而影响部队的任务准备状态。我们报告一例在部署期间到医务室就诊的患者，其检查结果相当出人意料。
