Eating disorders: recognition and medical instability — OSCE communication and clinical station

Candidate instructions

You are the paediatric registrar in the emergency department. You have two eight-minute stations. In Station A, a 15-year-old cross-country runner has fainted at school; she is with her mother. In Station B, you see a 16-year-old alone who reports palpitations and weakness, and her mother (in the waiting area) says she goes to the bathroom straight after meals. ^{[2] [3]}
