Metastatic Testicular Mixed Germ Cell Tumor Presenting as Posterior Scrotal Pain in the Emergency Department: A Case Report.

Testicular neoplasms, or testicular cancer, are not typically seen in the emergency department (ED) since their presentation involves a painless hard mass that emerges slowly over time. Uncommon presentation of testicular neoplasm to the ED with acute onset of scrotal pain may present challenges as an incomplete physical examination without supplemental imaging and laboratory workup may overlook the diagnosis of testicular neoplasm. As a result, a delay in proper treatment may occur.

Disabilities and Medicine: From Stairs to Stares.

Description The current state of medicine has done little to correct the imbalance of underrepresented groups in the physician workforce. In this editorial, a psychiatric resident physician retells his experience as an individual who is completing his medical training while being affected by a neuromuscular disorder and how it impacts his daily life. The primary goal of this paper is to elucidate the need for greater representation and understanding of the disabled physician workforce.
