Doctor Discovers Hidden Alchoholic Beverage
When looking for the cause of atrial fibrillation during a physical examination, not only can the doctor’s olfactory bulb be helpful, but so can the examination of what gets brought into the exam room.

Doctor: “Really? Can I see?”
Nothing a good knife and a piece of scotch tape can’t manufacture.
Case solved.

I recently had a patient drinking what looked like an energy drink. I didn't think much of it until I realized that the patient smelled a bit like beer. There are so many brands out there that we may not even know what is in a container, even without this creative concealment.
