    OPQRST - Onset, provoke/pallation, Quality, Region/Radiation, Severity.

    This acronym is even more frustrating because “PQRST” is a completely different ilitialism to OPQRST!

      And don’t forget to SAMPLE your patient either. And when filling out your run report, make sure you fill in the Glasgow Coma Score. And remember - even a toaster gets a score of 1!

      Thanks for reminding me, I’m going to have random flashbacks all day now.
