Episode Summary
Undo centers its medical curation on Andrew DeLuca's assault injuries: blunt trauma, zygomatic fracture, 8-ball hyphema, orbital floor fracture, fractured septum, and clavicle fracture. Treatments documented for the case include closed reduction, surgical aspiration, and sling care.
Differential Diagnosis and Testing Logic
Andrew's injuries require more than a general trauma label. Hyphema requires eye-specific evaluation and follow-up, orbital fracture requires assessment for entrapment and vision threat, nasal trauma requires septal assessment, and clavicle fracture requires imaging and immobilization planning.
Medical Accuracy Review
The episode is strongest when it names specific injuries and procedures. The main compression is workflow: real care would show ophthalmology involvement, serial eye-pressure checks, facial CT review, fracture follow-up, pain control, and documentation around assault-related injury.
