Description

A 56-year-old with a punch card’s worth of back pain visits shows up again. Half the time he gets an MRI, the other half he gets Tylenol and a pat on the back. Today, though, there’s a twist—maybe some new weakness. Is this just another routine shift… or the epidural abscess we’ve all been dreading? Tune in as we cut through the noise and break down what to actually do next.
