Introduction

Ben Lovell is a consultant in acute and general medicine in the UK. He was asked to review a patient on the surgical ward for hypertension. She'd been admitted with severe but thus far unexplained abdominal pain. They called him because she'd been persistently running a blood pressure of about 150 over 100 since she arrived at A&E. So what do you think of this lady with her blood pressure of 150 over 100? You've got a case for me so let's start.
