Case Study
Shawn Billings, a 28-year-old African American patient, comes into the clinic today. He has been deemed a "frequent flyer" by the staff at the clinic and was at the clinic last week and four days ago with a migraine; he was given a shot of Toradol and Ativan and sent home. He is here today again for an extreme headache. He is very agitated today. He is with his father and is worried he will not get any medication.
