He has a small horse farm and regularly works his horses. He also is a part-time builder, performing small renovation jobs for his friends and neighbors. One day as he was drinking coffee with his neighbor, he suddenly bent over and cried out in pain. The pain was so intense he was soon on the floor writhing in agony. His neighbor called 911 and Mike was rushed to the hospital. Pain relief was accomplished with some very heavy doses of medication and the doctors set about trying to find out the source of his pain. Initially, Mike’s pain began with a dull, intermittent discomfort in his flank and in the lumbar region of his back. Then it intensified across his abdomen as he was drinking coffee with his friend. It ran down the middle of his abdomen to his genitalia and to the inner aspect of his thigh. He began to sweat profusely, felt nauseous, and was faint. He teetered on the edge of shock.

She was taken to the nearest hospital, where, on the orders of a physician, she received X-rays of her arm and pelvis. No X-ray was taken of her leg, and she was released from the hospital on crutches. The pain in her leg increased, and she went to another hospital some hours later, where an X-ray was taken and revealed that her leg was fractured. She was admitted to the second hospital and remained an inpatient for a month. Ten days after admission to the second hospital, she received a letter from the first hospital telling her to return for a leg X-ray. She sued the first hospital and the radiologist.

- Bonnie, a 52-year-old female, has been having some mild pain in her legs recently and is not sure if she should be concerned about it. She decides to visit her primary care physician since the pain isn’t going away. Bonnie tells her physician that the pain feels like a “general soreness or ache” and seems to be worse on the left side. Her physician notes that the left lower leg seems slightly swollen when compared to the right and feels slightly warmer than the right leg. Bonnie has a history of smoking (1-2 packs/week in her 20s and 30s). She has a BMI of 29. She travels often to see her family that lives across the country. The only medication she has ever taken regularly was oral contraceptives. Now that she is peri-menopausal, she has been treating her symptoms with hormone replacement therapy. How does Bonnie’s frequent traveling relate to her diagnosis? Briefly explain this in your own words.arrow_forwardBonnie, a 52-year-old female, has been having some mild pain in her legs recently and is not sure if she should be concerned about it.
