PT is done and returns elevated at 2.8.

Got a CT chest, abdomen, pelvis.

And that was notable for diffuse, patchy, ground-glass opacities throughout the bilateral lung parenchyma.

Bilateral small pleural effusions.

a patchy, consolidated opacity in the right lower lobe, moderate volume ascites,

gallbladder wall thickening with pericholecystic stranding, which is nonspecific and likely related to volume status, but cholecystitis cannot be excluded per the radiologist's rate.

With the clear suspicion for some kind of infection, broad spectrum antibiotics are started.

He is pancultured and the remainder of the workup remains to be disclosed.

So that is aliquot number two.

Excellent.

I think you guys are hitting on exactly the tensions that I was hoping for you to, namely, which organ system is involved?

Is it multiple?

Could it be all of them?

I think the diagnosis is still very unclear at this point.

So I'll give you some more data.

Just for context, our hospital is very full right now.

So patients who are admitted to the hospital often need to stay in the emergency department for quite some time before they can be moved up

into the wards for a hospital bed.

So that's what happens to this patient.

He's admitted as an ED boarder.
