FEBRUARY MYSTERY
48: Numb Hands
A 32 year old male presents with 2 days of a pins and needles sensation in both hands. He states he fainted about 1 hour ago and hit his head. He denies chest pain or trouble breathing, or any symptoms in his legs or feet.
Physical exam is unremarkable except for a 2cm eyebrow laceration.
An EKG is shown below.

What findings on this EKG might be important.
What if any other tests would you recommend?
