Hi ..
i m preparing for CS from FA and UW
i m just confused over phone cases...
how do we take the history in cases where there is emergency ?
like i saw someone mentioning a case where a man calls a doctor saying that his wife is pregnant and her contractions are 2 mins apart

what do we do in such cases?
