AB  - CASE  ILLUSTRATION  1Ms.  A,  a  57-year-old  woman,  makes  an  appointment  with  a  new  clinician.  She  presents  with  a  10-year  history  of  multiple,  unexplained  symptoms.  She  has  seen  many  physicians  over  the  past  decade,  including  several  primary  care  physicians  and  numerous  subspecialists.  Her  principal  complaints  today  include  abdominal  pain,  chest  pain,  headache,  palpitations,  fatigue,  and  intermittent  dizziness.  She  brings  a  thick  stack  of  records  from  some  of  her  prior  physicians.  These  records  include  multiple  laboratory  tests  and  diagnostic  procedures,  none  of  which  has  identified  any  cause  for  her  symptoms.Clinician:  How  can  I  help  you  today,  Ms.  A?Patient  (sighing):  I  don’t  know.  A  friend  of  mine  saw  you  a  few  months  ago  and  said  you  were  very  good.  I  hope  you  can  help  me.  I’ve  had  these  problems  for  years  now,  and  no  one  seems  to  be  able  to  figure  them  out.  Maybe  you  can.  I  know  there’s  something  wrong.  I’ve  been  so  sick.Clinician:  Why  don’t  you  tell  me  about  your  symptoms?Patient:  Well,  it  all  began  about  10  years  ago.  .  .  .
