Hub Mccann Case Study

Hub McCann is a man of the age 73 based on him being in his thirties during his adventures. He is a widower, whose wife died in childbirth and has not been in a relationship since; he claims that she was his one and only true love. Mr. McCann lives with his brother Garth, great nephew Walter, five dogs, various farm animals, and a lioness named after his late wife. Hub is not in the greatest heath, rarely eating fruits and vegetables and always eating red meats and fish caught in their lake. He was hospitalized for overexertion when lifting 50 pound bags of lion chow and left without the proper treatment. The brothers seem to be living a long life after surviving their ordeals they were faced with in their thirties.
Hub has been sleepwalking …show more content…
Once he was in the lake and was sword fighting against various enemies. Water was splashing up all over the place and soaking himself, yet he was unable to wake up. He had woken up in his bed so he obviously had made his way out of the water and into the house without someone having to look for him in the morning. It takes a great deal of effort when Garth or Walter actually try to wake him up. Questions
