Assignment - Health & Medical Chronic Stable Angina Case Study

Chronic Stable Angina - E.H. is a 45-year-old African American man who recently moved to the community from another state. He requests renewal of a prescription for a calcium channel blocker, prescribed by a physician in the former state. He is unemployed and lives with a woman, their son, and the woman's 2 children. His past medical history is remarkable for asthma and six "heart attacks" that he claims occurred because of a 25-year history of drug use (primarily cocaine).
