A patient was admitted for lower gastrointestinal bleeding that is secondary to recurrent diverticulitis of the sigmoid colon. She was transfused due to blood loss anemia. Final diagnoses: (1) Diverticulitis sigmoid colon, (2) gastrointestinal bleed, (3) blood loss anemia, (4) peripheral vein transfusion of packed red blood cells from the blood bank.

A 55-year-old man comes to the emergency department with epistaxis (uncontrolled nosebleed). He reports that he has “bleeder’s disease” and has had multiple episodes of inflammatory hemarthroses (joint bleeding). Physical examination reveals swollen, immobilized knees; mild jaundice; and an enlarged liver and spleen. CBC results indicate that the patient is anemic and has thrombocytopenia with a platelet count of 74,400/mL (reference interval, 150,000 to 450,000/mL). The PT is 18 seconds (reference interval, 12 to 14 seconds), and the PTT is 43 seconds (reference interval, 25 to 35 seconds).Diagnosis: Liver Disease Provide strong evidence of the diagnosis by creating a table of other possible parameters or test results (coagulation tests) that might be present in this type of condition.

He had a slight fever and was in such pain that IV morphine did not even touch it. Examination was difficult as he could not even get into a comfortable position to lessen his pain. Internet searches on the local state pain medication abuse systems did not show him to be drug seeking but the ER doctor considers him drug seeking and wants him out of his ER.
