It gets worse. The poor guy is a recent immigrant from Mexico and had never received proper health care. He was severely overweight and diabetic. As a consequence of his unmanaged diabetes, he'd gone blind. Finally, the team I was rounding with consisted of me and 3 women. I'm not allowed to touch anyone yet, so the chap had 3 chicks that he couldn't see prodding his genitals, while I tried to explain what was going on in my very mediocre Spanish.
Oh yeah, and it smelled -baaaaaad-. Just another day on post call! Nice to get a break from the drug overdoses. I'm finishing up my write up on Hantavirus. I'll send you a copy and I'd appreciate some feedback/editing if you have time between cafe au laits.
That is a super sad story, actually, and just unpleasant all around. And sure, I'll be happy to take a look at it and send you feedback. I need something to read while I eat chocolate and sip my renversés.
