Clinical Concept

Clinicians separate primary headaches from dangerous secondary causes using history, exam, neurologic findings, red flags, and targeted testing.

What ER Teams Would Evaluate

The summary confirms headaches in a bride-to-be but does not name neurologic signs, imaging, medications, onset pattern, or final diagnosis.

Treatment and Management Overview

Management depends on red flags, exam, diagnosis, pregnancy status if relevant, medication safety, and follow-up needs.

What TV Gets Right

The episode uses a common symptom as an entry point to more serious clinical reasoning.

What TV Compresses

The summary does not show enough detail to decide whether the headache is benign or dangerous.
