- case study: C was a six year old boy who passed away at the Lady Cilento Children’s Hospital on14 January 2017. He was a generally healthy and happy child. C’s treating team at the Lady Cilento Children’s Hospital attributed his death to overwhelming sepsis due to melioidosis. His death was not discussed with the coroner at that time. No autopsy was performed. C’s death was first reported to the State Coroner on 3 May 2018 due to the family’s concerns about the care C received from a remote hospital over several days leading up to his admission on 10 January 2017 and subsequent transfer to a regional hospital by which time he was seriously ill. The family also lodged a complaint with the Office of the Health Ombudsman. The Health Ombudsman considered the family’scomplaint potentially identified broader systemic issues and undertook a systemicinvestigation. The family’s concerns related to failure by remote hospital staff to correctly diagnoseand investigate the cause of C’s worsening…arrow_forwardA 74-year old woman with history of rheumatic fever (in her twenties) presented to her physician with complaints of increasing shortness of breath (dyspnea) upon exertion. The typical swelling she’s had in her ankles for years has started to get worse over the past two months. In the past week, she’s had a decreased appetite, some nausea and vomiting and tenderness in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen. On physical examination, the patient’s jugular veins were noticeably distended. Auscultation of the heart revealed a low-pitched, rumbling systolic murmur, heard best over the left upper sternal border. In addition, she had an extra “S3” heart sound.

- SCENARIO Identifying Data: This 72-year-old female presents with a biopsy proven adenocarcinoma of the sigmoid colon at 20 cm. History of Present Illness: The patient has been noted to have some bright red bleeding intermittently for approximately 8 months, initially presumable of a hemorrhoidal basis. She recently has had intensification of rectal bleeding but no weight loss, anorexia, or obstructive pain. No significant diarrhea or constipation. Some low back pain, probably unrelated. Recent colonoscopy by Dr. Scoma revealed a large sessile (attached by a broad base) polyp, which was partially excised at 20-cm level, showing infiltrating adenocarcinoma at the base. The patient is to enter the hospital at this time after home antibiotic and mechanical bowel prep, to undergo sigmoid colectomy and possible further resection. 1.
