I met Mr. Eigner at the office of Dr. Taha. Mr. Eigner reports he is not taking any pain medications at this time. He reports he has a jolting shooting pain to the right and left legs only occasionally. He denied any pain to his right forearm. X-rays taken showed good alignment and healing of the fracture. The incisions are all healed except for a couple small spots on the right ankle. There is some swelling to the right ankle which Dr. Taha said is to be expected. The range of motion to the left ankle and toes was good. The range of motion to the right stores was limited. Dr. Taha said there is scar tissue at times from this type of repair and he would like physical therapy to start working on that. He is still going to be non-weight bearing for another 6 to 8 weeks on the right leg. He is now allowed full weight bearing as tolerated to the left leg. Dr. Taha ordered a rolling scooter to aid with ambulation and stop using the wheelchair. I have contacted Reverence physical therapy and faxed the new orders so the service can begin. I will process the rolled scooter with directions from the adjuster. The attendant care and replacement services will continue through to the next appointment.
WORK STATUS

I spoke with Mr. Sutter several times since 3/2/17. Mr. Sutter moved his medical appointment from 2/23/17 to 3/2/17. I was not unable to attend nor was I able to find a co-worker to attend.

He was supposed to elevated and also wears compression stocking. His legs are so big the stockings cut in. Dr. Olenyn told Mr. Sutter he must get the swelling down because that will affect the healing of the fractures. He is at high risk for infections from open skin. Some of the bones are healing but not all. Mr. Sutter continues to use a bone stimulator daily. I have spoken with Mr. Sutter and

With the additional image # 4 this changes how this person will do in rehabilitation. Given the presumed medical diagnosis of diabetes, accompanied by the left great toe amputation, the changes in the integrity of the foot as a result of the diabetes, and fibular/ lateral malleolar fracture course of rehabilitation for this person will be different. According to Kristiansen (1980) in the diabetic patient, fractures of the ankle are the result of neuropathic joint changes. Diabetics often have impaired pain sensation, therefore pain is not a reliable indication of the state of the fracture, and the ankle must be immobilized and the patient non weight-bearing for size weeks, including malleolar fractures (Kristiansen, 1980). Past medical history, age, comorbidities, lifestyle will all impact how this patient will do in rehabilitation. His physical therapy management is not going to be as aggressive and will take longer as compared to an individual who has only sustained a lateral malleolar fracture, on account of the absence of the great toe and clawed toe deformity. While the left ankle is immobilized, this person can be strengthening the right leg and hip and knee musculature of the left leg. Once it is determined that his fracture is stable, this person will need to begin his ROM and strengthening exercises of the left ankle and foot as tolerated, along with gait training. Shoe wear and orthotics will be major factor, as with all
This surgery was performed three days following the accident, due to swelling of the affected limb.
I think he is very smart as he said in the interview for matriculation at Harvard University, “I’m fucking smart,” but his intention and attitude was too much wicked towards people who he bankrupted as a leader of a company. The neuropsychologist Ian Robertson at Trinity College, Dublin (2012), used Jeff Skilling’s case when he demonstrated the critical sample of addiction to power on his book. Professor Robertson described that testosterone is strongly boosted up after many leaders have experience of victory and power. Some are apt to be addicted to power if they continue to experience it. This status quo is called a winner effect. Mr. Skilling had a reputation for being arrogant and laid off the bottom 10 percentages of executives and staff members whose business results he evaluated. Moreover, he had ever shown even his middle finger to workers who lined up in the parking lot because of him, passing by them. He had sold his shares of Enron three years before Enron filed for bankruptcy protection. How wicked he is. When the professor researched on Jeff Skilling with a question of what he was when he was young, he found out that ironically, Mr. Skilling’s friends at Harvard remembered him as being common and nice. Mr. Robertson described that power is a necessary evil for a leader, but Mr. Skilling spoiled himself with addiction of power.
