Follow up on Michael’s health condition to determine the disease affecting him.
CASE DESCRIPTION:
The first-time Michael visited the doctor he was afraid for the rapid weight loss associated to his
new diet. Michael wanted to look strong and powerful and thus started a protein only diet and
frequently visited the gym for some lifting. Michael enjoy riding his Harley with his friends. The
guys ride the island main road smoking their tobaccos and showing their tattoos like big boys.
The diet does not seem to be working because Michael is actually losing weight, and his coughing
has actually increased. Michael complained during his last visit of coughing blood and to have
strong chest pain. The doctor ordered an immediate X-ray, and a blood sample. Michael does not
show an increased white cell count, nor increased histamine levels. However, the chest X-rays
show an unclear mass and the doctor ordered a biopsy to determine the composition of the mass.

Follow up on Robert’s health condition to determine the disease affecting him.
CASE DESCRIPTION:
Robert had to visit the doctor more frequently in the last month because he feels a lack of
energy beyond his normal, although he is decreasing the number of cigarettes that he smokes
on a daily basis. Robert looks pale and thin, and the doctor is worried that he may be smoking
more than he actually says. Now, Robert has more mucus in his lungs, and he is getting more
bacterial infections from a combination of different bacteria. Although Robert chest congestion
is not accompanied with wheezing, or lack of sleep, he still feels his chest tight, and he can’t run
to catch the bus if he needs to. Robert does not have headaches, and the doctor recommended
him a special diet to increase his body weight. Robert needs to quit smoking because his life
expectancy will decrease drastically if his disease continues to gets worst.
