Wart, left toe #5. This was shaved with a sterile blade. He did have punctate bleeding with this. There is no pigmentation to this lesion. Liquid nitrogen was used x2 freezes. I did discuss risks including possibility of blistering and pain. I discussed care of what to do if this is the case.

Puncture wound, left hand, very rusty, metal grate. I do think we should give him a tetanus shot since it has been greater than five years since he has had one. TD was administered today.

Healthcare maintenance. Of note, the patient has not had his second and third HPV shots. He does not want to get these today. I did suggest he come back for this prior to leaving for college once

    Beat of Another Drum Mr. Rembert is a 65- year old African American male that was transported by ambulance to this Las Vegas, Nevada long term acute care facility. The patient has a substantial history of cardiopulmonary difficulties with a chronic cough and has been diagnosed with COPD (a grouping of both chronic bronchitis and emphysema); Emphysema is injury to the alveoli which are the tiny sacs in the lungs that permit oxygen and carbon dioxide to interchange between the blood stream.
