The holidays were exciting for 24 year old Histie. New Year’s Eve came and she partied all night drinking beer and whiskey. While waiting for her friends to arrive, Histie fell on her knees feeling a sharp pain on her chest and suddenly laid unconscious on the floor. Her friends brought her to the emergency department of Tology Hospital, not one hour later. Unfortunately, she was declared dead-on-arrival, and upon autopsy, her cause of death is consistent with that of aneurysm (heart). Histie is a known smoker with a history of alcohol and other drug abuse.
1. Does alcohol and aneurysm have a relationship? Why or why not?

- Can you please pick the right answer in each parentheses? Atherosclerosis is a disease of the blood vessel wall, and begins with accumulation of ["white blood cells, LDL and VLDL beneath the endothelium", "platelets and clotting factors"], a phase known as "fatty streak".

- John died the other day. He died from a tumor of the spine known as a spinal lymphoma. In actuality, he died due to lack of medical care. John was a clerk in a small store, and he had no health insurance coverage. His salary was $9 per hour. He barely could make ends meet. A while ago, he noticed a lump on his back along his spinal column. He asked a friend about it and was told to see a doctor. He did not do this because he said he could not afford it. As a result, several months went by and he noted that it was getting larger. Finally, he was suffering with pain and was losing weight. He went to the emergency room for relief of his pain and, while hospitalized, was found to have stage IV lymphoma. He died 4 weeks later. John was 28 years old.
