Roger Forchetta, a 33-year-old male, came in to our ophthalmology office today. I last saw him 6 years ago when he had a corneal ulcer on his right eye. This is now cleared. He states that over the last few weeks, his vision is “a bit off.” I began with a complete, interval history. He denied any specific trauma or problems with his eyes prior to this latest concern. Overall, this patient is a healthy male with an admitted diet filled with a great deal of fast food and restaurant food. His external ocular and adnexal areas were unremarkable, free from injury or infection. The patient has a normal corneal anterior chamber and iris but with very slow dilating pupils. Ophthalmoscopy shows there is no pseudoexfoliation, but there are dense juvenile nuclear cataracts on both eyes, the right greater than the left. I counseled him regarding cataract surgery of this right eye first, and then the left eye; the need for postop correction; a 4- to 6-week recovery time; and the type…

Last year during my medical–surgical clinical experience,I was taking care of Maggie Wyatt, a female patient in her30s, with an external fixation device on her right leg. The patient had broken her tibia, and had undergone three sur-geries to try to correct the fracture. Maggie’s current admis-sion was for the treatment of an infection caused by the external device in place to treat the fracture. I was assignedto care for her on the day that she was being discharged.Throughout the day, I formed a close bond with her, andthe nurse asked me to bring Maggie to her car when she was ready to leave. I was a little apprehensive about beingable to help her into the car with the external fixator in placebecause she could not bend her leg at all. I had a coupleof choices—I could take her down to the car myself andhope that there wouldn’t be any problem helping her getinto the car, or I could tell the nurse I didn’t feel comfortablebringing the patient to the car because I didn’t have…
