Laboratory data included sedimentation rate of 12, magnesium level of 2.2, TSH of 2.63 with normal being 0.34 to 5.60, free T4 of 1.68 with normal being 0.58 to 1.64. Chest x-ray and abdominal films were unremarkable. Hemoglobin 14.5, hematocrit 43.5, platelet count 400,000, white blood count 11,800. Urinalysis was negative for ketones. Specific gravity 1.023, and negative for protein. Sodium 137, potassium 3.4, chloride 103, CO2 20, BUN 21, creatinine 0.9, and anion gap 14, glucose 90, total protein 8.1, albumin 4.5, calcium 8.8, bilirubin 1.5, AST 26, ALT 16, alkaline phosphatase 118. Thyroid peroxidase antibody studies are pending.

HOSPITAL COURSE:

The child was observed on IV fluids and advanced to clear liquids and then regular diet as tolerated. On the second hospital day, mother was comfortable taking her to home. Mother did not have a good explanation for the weight loss. In the hospital, her weight was 124 pounds, her height 58 inches, temperature 98.0 degree F.

pulse 123, respirations 18, blood pressure 148/94. Follow up blood pressure were some of them were in the 125 to 70 range making us think her hypertension as labile and perhaps related to the excitement of the admission.

She seem quite happy and in no distress at the time of discharge. We will follow up in the office and try to further evaluate her for the unexplained weight loss. She has been taking the Adderall for at least a year, and the mother does not think the Adderall is the cause of the weight loss. The free T4 is borderline high and probably bears repeating along with further studies for Graves disease as an outpatient.
FINAL DIAGNOSES:

1. Cardiac arrest.

2. Severe congestive heart failure.

3. Acute on chronic respiratory failure.

4. Osteoporosis.

5. Depression.

HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS:

This 92-year-old lady with history of depression and chronic low back pain, osteoporosis, and congestive heart failure, was diagnosed having pneumonia approximately for at least 10 days prior to admission. In the ER

she was given oral antibiotics. She also saw me few days before admission coming for a followup. She was doing fairly well. She was thought to have congestive heart failure and she was advised to continue with her diuretics. For the last few days, the patient started to have anorexia, she did not eat well, and she did not drink well. Her family could not take care of her. So, she was brought to the emergency room, where she was found to have rapid heart rate with a sinus tachycardia around 112 to 130s. The ________ was found to be dry. She was given 1 L of IV fluids and she was subsequently admitted in the hospital for further management.

COURSE IN THE HOSPITAL:

The patient stayed in the telemetry. The patient had significant shortness of breath secondary to congestive heart failure with bilateral basilar crackles. She was continued on IV antibiotics and general IV hydration was started initially because of low blood pressure and low perfusion status. On subsequently improved and stopped and Lasix was started; Dr. X, cardiologist was also placed. The patient's family wanted her to be a DNR and DNI. They were allowing us to treat her aggressively medically for pneumonia and congestive heart failure. However, the patient became extremely weak, mostly unresponsive. At this time, the patient's family wanted a Hospice consult, which was requested. By the time the Hospice could evaluate her, the patient's condition got deteriorated, she went into more bradycardiac and hypertension and subsequently expired. Please see the hospital notes for complete details.
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS:

The patient is a 60-year-old female patient who off and on for the past 10 to 12 months has had almost daily diarrhea, nausea, inability to eat. She had an EGD and colonoscopy with Dr. ABC a few days prior to this admission. Colonoscopy did reveal diverticulosis and EGD showed retained bile and possible gastritis. Biopsies were done. The patient presented to our emergency room for worsening abdominal pain as well as swelling of the right lower leg.

PAST MEDICAL HISTORY:

Extensive and well documented in prior charts.

PHYSICAL EXAMINATION:

Abdomen was diffusely tender. Lungs clear. Blood pressure 129/69 on admission. At the time of admission, she had just a trace of bilateral lower edema.

LABORATORY STUDIES:

White count 6.7, hemoglobin 13, hematocrit 39.3. Potassium of 3.2 on 08/15/2007.

HOSPITAL COURSE:

Dr. ABC apparently could not advance the scope into the cecum and therefore warranted a barium enema. This was done and did not really show what the cecum on the barium enema. There was some retained stool in that area and the patient had a somewhat prolonged hospital course on the remaining barium from the colon. She did have some enemas. She had persistent nausea, headache, neck pain throughout this hospitalization. Finally, she did improve enough to the point where she could be discharged home.

DISCHARGE DIAGNOSIS:

Nausea and abdominal pain of uncertain etiology.

SECONDARY DIAGNOSIS:

Migraine headache.

COMPLICATIONS:

None.

DISCHARGE CONDITION:

Guarded.

DISCHARGE PLAN:

Follow up with me in the office in 5 to 7 days to resume all pre-admission medications. Diet and activity as tolerated.
DISCHARGE DIAGNOSES:

1. Advanced non-small cell lung carcinoma with left malignant pleural effusion status post chest tube insertion status post chemical pleurodesis.

2. Respiratory failure secondary to above.

3. Likely postobstructive pneumonia.

4. Gastrointestinal bleed.

5. Thrombocytopenia.

6. Acute renal failure.

7. Hyponatremia.

8. Hypercalcemia, likely secondary to paraneoplastic syndrome from the non-small cell lung CA

possible metastases to the bones.

9. Leukemoid reaction, likely secondary to malignancy.

10. Elevated liver function tests.

HOSPITAL COURSE:

This is a 53-year-old African American male patient of Dr. X who was admitted through the emergency room. He has been having some right hip pain and cough. The patient had a CT scan of the chest, which revealed a left pleural effusion, extensive mediastinal mass, left hilar adenopathy, causing complete obstruction of the left lower lobe and the lingula and the left pulmonary vein, and the multiple nodules on the right side of his chest. These were all consistent with metastatic disease. He was thus also a suspicion for osseous metastatic disease involving the right scapula with a left large pleural effusion. The patient had severe shortness of breath, chest pain, a left-sided chest tube was inserted, and pleural effusion was positive for malignant cells. The history of right hip pain could be secondary to metastatic disease. The patient underwent bronchoscopy, which is positive for non-small cell lung CA. The patient was seen by various consultants. The patient underwent respiratory failure, requiring intubation, mechanical ventilatory support. He was extubated, but had to be re-intubated because of respiratory failure. Had a long discussion with the patient's wife and other family members. The patient was seen by Dr. Y. The patient was not in a condition to undergo any kind of chemotherapy, being on the ventilator. The patient progressively got deteriorated. The patient's family requested for DNR

withdrawal of the life support. The patient was extubated, and he was pronounced expired on 08/21/08 at 01:40 hours.

I appreciate all consultants' input.
