After wasting the past 10 min of my life reading that BS of a thread from Jet ( ha ha love ya man), I decided to post a case. Not sure how good it will be but here it is:
40 yo M went to the Doc because his leg was swelling mostly around the knee area. US performed and showed no DVT.
CT performed showed cancer throughout the abd and lungs. Primary source unknown at this time. He is added on to the endo schedule for an EGD in hopes of finding something to biopsy.
PMH: obesity BMI 42, DM II, HTN.
Pt originally was thought to have eaten full breakfast but later denied this and stated he only drank a cola at 11am.
Pt is obviously anxious. But very pleasant and cooperative. C/0 R LLE swelling, cough when recumbent, fatigue.
PE:
Airway MP 2 otherwise normal
CNS:anxious cooperative pleasant, no CN deficits
Abd: obese NT nondistended
Chest: distant BS at bases with expiration wheeze
EXT: swelling of R LLE
LABS: WNL's
What's your plan?
