I hope you didn't have to learn all the answers from real life experience - too

bad it wasn't an essay question - you could have written a book.

> It's a miracle! I took my boards for the physician assistant board exam again

today for the thrid time (we have to every 6-7 years retake it) and there was a

question about PA " 43 YO male with unresponsive HTN, polyuria, hypokalemia, and

muscle weakness " (paraphrasing sort of as I agree not to ever give out answers,

but just wanted to highlight it was on there!) and the correct answer of course

was hyperaldosteronism. There was also a question about mild HTN and the best

way to treat it in an otherwise 1st timer with no other issues, and DASH -

spelled out - was the answer. Pretty cool.
