Abstract
Doctors are commonly faced with difficult management decisions. Sometimes these decisions can be influenced by red herrings, time and resource pressures, and at times, pressures from patients themselves. This case history illustrates that succumbing to these pressures, failing to act on your 'instincts' and failing to take a careful history can lead to adverse consequences.
