Q Name: DIGESTIVE SYSTEM CASE STUDY Harold, a fifty-eight-year-old grocery store manager, had recently been waking up in the middle of the night with abdominal pain. This was happening several nights a week. He was also experiencing occasional discomfort in the middle of the afternoon. Harold decided to schedule an appointment with his physician. Physical Examination: Harold's doctor noted that Harold's appetite had suffered as a result of the pain he was experiencing. He noted also that Harold's appetite suffered as a result of the fear that what he was eating may be responsible for the pain. Harold's doctor referred him to an internal medical doctor. Medical Tests: The internal medicine doctor performed an endoscopy procedure on Harold. During the procedure, a long, thin tube was inserted into Harold's mouth and directed into his digestive tract. The doctor used the endoscope to obtain a small tissue sample from the lining of Harold's stomach. The endoscopy revealed that Harold had a gastric sore hole in the lining of the stomach. Analysis of a tissue sample taken from the site showed that Harold also had an infection. Medical Treatment: The doctor gave Harold prescriptions for two different antibiotics and a medication that would decrease the secretion of stomach acid. The doctor also scheduled Harold for an appointment for another endoscopy procedure in 6 months. 1. What are the patient's symptoms? What were the results of the patient's physical examination?
