Case Study: A 67-year-old homeless man, "Jesse", is found confused and in distress by a passerby who calls 911. Paramedics bring the man to the hospital. Jesse's feet and legs are swollen and covered in ulcers and dead tissue-diagnosed as osteomyelitis, or infection of his legs. His past medical history is established to include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic foot infections, alcoholism, and tobacco use. In addition to this, clinicians find a mass in Jesse's lung that could either be TB or cancer. Physicians recommend a biopsy. The infections in this patient's legs are so severe that a double amputation is recommended, also.
