Poster Abstract
Here we present the case of a medical student in his twenties who had experienced episodes of heat edema that had been previously evaluated at other EDs and thought to be possible DVT. An awareness of heat edema as a minor heat-related illness is important in order to avoid unnecessary testing and in order to help prevent future episodes
