Case presentation in under a minute
How to assemble a clean, defensible case overview from messy notes, photos, and radiographs.

The hardest part of presenting a case is not the case. It is the ten minutes of digging through folders before you can open your mouth.
Start from the question
Every presentation answers one of three questions:
- What did we find?
- What are we proposing?
- Why is this the right thing to do?
Pick one. Build everything around it.
A repeatable structure
A case overview reads best as a short stack:
- A single representative image at the top
- Two or three findings in plain language
- The proposed plan as a bulleted list
- A short paragraph on alternatives considered
That is enough for a colleague to follow along, and enough for a patient to feel respected.
