Abstract
Background: Pain is the most common reason that patients seek medical attention, yet as a discipline pain medicine is still a relatively new field. Pain clinics are a vital asset in chronic pain management, however, they are often in peripheral locations without access to advanced emergency care. Although headed by an anaesthesiologist, pain clinics are made up of multidisciplinary staff often with a relatively sparse amount of emergency training and exposure. Subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) is an example of a medical emergency in which appropriate training, correct diagnosis and rapid treatment can significantly reduce the median case fatality. We present a case of SAH which had optimum outcomes through appropriate training.
