Summary

Mrs. A is a 30-year-old female who presented to the emergency department of a major urban hospital in Canada with complaints of abdominal pain, fatigue, and tremor. Her first language is Arabic and history taking was complicated by Mrs. A’s very limited English. She had arrived in Canada only a few days before presentation. Before coming to Canada, Mrs. A lived for approximately 2 years in a refugee camp and had very limited access to medical care during that time.
