If you truly donвЂ™t know, there is the final option to refer the patient elsewhere, but this will not win you any points, nor earn you any money. However, getting one wrong will result in an unhappy patient, with negative consequence. By guessing the illness, you then have to decide the appropriate medication or treatment to assign, which can be anything from ice packs to NSAIDs, and getting both the diagnosis and treatment correct will obviously result in some bonus points.
