From AMA guidelines: "A problem in the differential diagnosis that represents a condition likely to result in a high risk of morbidity without treatment. An example may be a lump in the breast."
When would a new problem be considered high risk in cases other than lumps, neoplasm of uncertain behavior, etc?
Does anyone in ENT have any ideas about other examples of moderate level for new problems other than the above? Deviated nasal septum, turbinate hypertrophy, tonsilitis, chronic serous otitis media and the like,--so would anyone see these as high risk of morbidity without Rx or Surgery? (Especially if pt has significant pain )
thank you
