The Case Files
Six signature mysteries. Each one drops you into the emergency department with a patient, a set of vitals, and no diagnosis. Investigate, commit — then ride the Time Machine backward through the pathophysiology.
Enter the learner ID your instructor gave you — your attempts appear under your name in class analytics.
The Patient Who Can't Breathe
67M — “My breathing has gotten much worse since yesterday.”
The Patient Who Won't Stop Vomiting
24M — “I can't stop throwing up.”
The Patient Who Is Getting Sicker by the Minute
78F — “She's just not herself today.”
The Patient Whose Words Stopped Working

The Patient Who Is Vomiting Blood

The Patient Whose Lungs Sound Perfectly Clear
44F — “It hurts to breathe and I almost fainted.”
Your Reasoning Fingerprint
No cases solved on this device yet. Your fingerprint appears after your first debrief — it scores how you reason across seven domains (signal recognition, history prioritization, focused examination, diagnostic workup, differential discipline, treatment sequencing, reassessment & prevention), not just whether you were right.
Solve your first caseThe MALDEK Method
Every case ends in the Time Machine — rewinding the disease's own timeline — so the pathophysiology reads like a story, not a list.
MaldekChin cases are for healthcare education and clinical-reasoning training. They do not replace local protocols, faculty instruction, clinical supervision, or professional judgment.
