# Case Study: Mr. Lowe

> A video case study exploring depression in the ED. Mr. Lowe's chart reads “Anxiety/Multiple Complaints” and his initial workup is unremarkable.

The Context

You pick up the chart for Mr. Lowe, a 78-year-old man. His chart reads “Anxiety/Multiple Complaints”. The nurse's notes show he has normal vital signs. Mr. Lowe’s physical exam is unremarkable and in addition, his blood work and ECG/cardiac markers all show normal results. He previously had an abdominal ultrasound and a CT abdomen done for his symptoms and both were unremarkable.

Watch and discuss.
