Challenge yourself as you diagnose patents, tailor treatment plans, and assess expert guidance for 3 patients exhibiting symptoms of cognitive decline.
Andy
Andy is 18 years old and a pitcher for his high school baseball team.
Last season he had 3 bleeds which kept him from playing for several tournaments. He is hoping to get a full scholarship to university but is concerned that missing games will decrease his chances.
Malcolm
Malcolm is 35 years old and has severe hemophilia A without a history of inhibitor. He is taking 40 EHL FVIII IU/kg every 3 days and last took factor 24 hours ago.
He drives for a rideshare service, and arrives at the emergency department with gunshot wounds he received after dropping off a rider.
Joe
Joe is 35 years old with severe hemophilia A and a remote history of inhibitor that tolerized when he was a child. He has been treated for hepatitis C virus and currently has no viral load.
He describes bilateral knee pain as one of his most debilitating symptoms, which sometimes limits his ability to perform daily tasks.
