Abstract
We present the case of a 23-year-old man with a complex psychiatric history who was transferred from a community hospital for management of agitation and severe thrombocytopenia. Experts in consultation-liaison psychiatry deconstruct the consultation question in this case. The importance of addressing superficial and hidden aspects of a consultation are reviewed via the concepts of explicit, implicit, and tacit consultation questions.
Keywords: Agitation management; Explicit questions; Implicit questions; Psychiatric consultation; Tacit questions; Thrombocytopenia.
