Case Scenario: Hot Stuff

Mrs. Melaena Stools is a quiet 58 yr old lady who presents to your surgery late on a Friday evening. She is a patient of your partners who is in Japan watching the world cup. Unfortunately her records have gone missing and are believed to be in the back of your partner's Lotus. She has been limping in pain after slipping on a loose grape in her local supermarket.
Mrs. Melaena Stools? Seriously. For the non-medics out there melaena = blood in stool.

And I find it completely random that the question talks about Japan, world cup and a Lotus before telling you that she slipped on a loose grape.

And why is the case scenario titled Hot Stuff?

I really wonder who writes the case scenarios for our tutorial sheets.

Because I want whatever s/he is smoking.
