This Double Take video from the New England Journal of Medicine presents the
real-life case of a woman with progressive chest pain after a trip to Puerto
Rico, where she spent time exploring local national parks and caves. Viewers
are guided through the differential diagnosis of the patient’s presentation and
how it evolves with the diagnostic evaluation, culminating in the patient’s final
diagnosis and clinical course.

video, is available at https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056... : The Road Less Traveled (Romano et al., in the
