Background: Primary spontaneous pneumothorax, by definition, occurs without trauma or any underlying lung pathology. Often patients are otherwise young and healthy. However, management continues to be debated and may lead to unnecessary hospitalization.

A 60 year old with chest pain presented to the ED. Here is his first ECG: What do you think? It looks bizarre, doesn't it? There are lots of ST-T abnormalities, but they just don't look recognizable. Whenever you see a bizarre ECG, look at leads I, II, and III. See if one of them does NOT look bizarre. In this case, lead I does not look bizarre, but all other leads do.
