Ok, so I've run into something a few times recently that has finally prompted me to ask about this.
How do you guys address patients who tell you they've been diagnosed with a condition that isn't actually a condition? Like "I've had a nervous breakdown" or "I thew my back out"?
I've had 4-5 patients in the last month tell me the last one, and to be honest, I still haven't figured out what kind of injury that is supposed to be. A sprain? A strain? Spasms?
I've just been documenting it in quotes, but I'm curious how everyone else approaches it.
