Edenbrook Medical Charts



Listed are Edenbrook Hospital's former and current patients, their diagnoses and treatments, and their physicians.

Woman (name: unknown)
Female patient collapses in waiting room, presents with bruising (suggesting hemophilia) and blue fingertips (suggesting low blood oxygen). Quick check of her lungs shows no lung expansion on one side. You diagnose hemothorax and perform an emergency tube thoracostomy to drain the fluid around her lungs. Once successful, patient is wheeled into emergency surgery. {| cellspacing="2" cellpadding="3" width="100%" style="background-color:transparent; border:3px solid #C0BFC0"

Annie
Annie, female in her twenties, presents with headaches, nausea, and vertigo. Upon examination, she is noted to have some marbled patches on her arm, a rash on her neck, and a cut on her ankle. History reveals she just returned from vacationing in Indonesia, going for her scuba diving license in Pulau Menjangan. She also states she is prone to panic attacks when she feels stressed. Lab results show she picked up an uncommon strain of bacteria; she was started on cefpodoxime but had an anaphylactic reaction. Code blue procedures were carried out. Afterwards, she was diagnosed with labyrinthitis and prescribed antihistamines to treat it.

Teresa Martinez
Teresa Martinez was diagnosed with Rhodes disease approximately ten years ago. She was a long-time resident of the hospital, needing daily treatments. When you and your friends discover medical literature on Huntington's disease treatments, you find that one cured a percentage of Rhodes disease patients. However, the fatality rate was 40 percent. With those odds, she decided to risk it and accept treatment. She was cured for a few weeks before she passed away. {| cellspacing="2" cellpadding="3" width="100%" style="background-color:transparent; border:3px solid #C0BFC0"

Male patient, mid-sixties, transferred from Mass Kenmore, presents with sustained seizures, vitals tanked en route. Originally admitted to Mass Kenmore for stomach pains and trouble breathing. Suddenly started convulsing; benzodiazepines failed to stop seizing. Patient also determined to have been hallucinating en route (speaking to EMT like she was his wife, who has been dead for seven years). Once diagnosed, patient is presumed to have anti-neuronal antibodies (which are present in the serum of patients with paraneoplastic disorders affecting the nervous system) and patient is placed in pharmacological coma to confirm diagnosis.

Kyra Santana
Kyra Santana presents with a fractured radius and Your Character is assigned to cast her arm. Her underlying condition is large-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma, which is treated with a lung lobectomy and chemotherapy. However, months later, her carcinoma has returned and spread to her pericardium (the lining surrounding her heart). Dr. Lahela suggests a risky surgery -an extrapleural pneumonectomy- to remove the cancer, and the patient agrees. He surgically removes the diseased lung, part of the pericardium, part of the diaphragm (muscle between the lungs and the abdomen), and part of the parietal pleura (membrane lining the chest). He uses Gore-Tex to replace the portions of removed pericardium. If Dr. Lahela decides to hand the rest of the surgery to Dr. Tanaka, Dr. Tanaka continues after Dr. Lahela is done with the Gore-Tex. {| cellspacing="2" cellpadding="3" width="100%" style="background-color:transparent; border:3px solid #C0BFC0"

During visits, he complains about migraines, but has no prior history of migraines and a negative tox screen. He admits to having them for a few days, the pain progressively getting worse. You and Dr. Olsen deduce amphetamine (such as methylpenidate) withdrawal, imbalancing his dopamine levels.
 * }

Dolores Hudson
Brought in by paramedics from an office building on fire, Dolores -26 weeks pregnant- presents with elevated blood pressure and smoke inhalation. Dr. Ramsey tells you that her blood pressure should be low after smoke inhalation and requests a urine sample. Protein in urine confirms diagnosis of preeclampsia. Patient progresses into eclampsia during the night and is wheeled into emergency surgery, where she delivers her son at 26 weeks. She does not survive. {| cellspacing="2" cellpadding="3" width="100%" style="background-color:transparent; border:3px solid #C0BFC0"

Jake Sandburg
Jake Sandburg is a 22 year old male, unconscious after a bout of emesis. He presents with shallow breathing, possible fluid buildup in his lungs. Teammates and coach report him clutching his ribs and back, and hyperventilating in the past. A locker search revealed fluoxetine (used for his panic attacks) and celecoxib (used for his soreness). The five of you determine it is a drug interaction between the two and inform paramedics of your diagnosis. {| cellspacing="2" cellpadding="3" width="100%" style="background-color:transparent; border:3px solid #C0BFC0"

Remy
Remy, male in early to mid-twenties, presents with calf covered in small reddened nodules. Patient just cleared a respiratory infection, lungs sound clear, with no reports of wheezing or coughing. You decide to do a biopsy and genetic test to check nodules. Biopsy shows panniculitis related to infection, which should clear soon, but genetic test shows markers for distal muscular dystrophy, late onset, which he may develop in his forties. {| cellspacing="2" cellpadding="3" width="100%" style="background-color:transparent; border:3px solid #C0BFC0"

Naveen Banerji presented with symptoms two months ago, first as cough, fever, confusion. Then it progressed to severe headaches (later thought to be caused by encephalitis), high fever, and the inability to keep fluids down. Then, breathing trouble and organ dysfunction. Then, sepsis and renal failure. His condition was deemed terminal, with only a month to live. When the source of his symptoms was determined, phage therapy was initiated to pass the blood-brain barrier and eradicate the bacteria, Acinetobacter baumannii. Supportive treatment for septic shock is presumed to have been given.

Willow
Willow presents with pruritus (itchy skin) that she has had for a few weeks, spider angiomas, jaundice (noted in the whites of her eyes), and ascites. Preliminary diagnosis is Hepatitis C, but cannot perform laboratory tests because patient has no insurance and cannot afford hospital visit or treatment. You find a clinical trial that she and her fraternal twin brother to join, where in exchange for testing new medications, her Hepatitis C medications would be provided and covered. {| cellspacing="2" cellpadding="3" width="100%" style="background-color:transparent; border:3px solid #C0BFC0"

Justin Neworth
Justin Neworth, 35 year old unconscious male, presented with fever, vomiting, bloody diarrhea, and petechiae; has a history of eczema, hypertension, thrombocytopenia, and low haptoglobin. Labs indicate an elevated count of creatinine. Dr. Ortega and you diagnose reduced kidney function and hemolytic-uremic syndrome.

Lamar presents with several weeks of severe headaches and most recently a loss of peripheral vision. The CT scans of his brain show nothing wrong but his blood tests had markers for meningitis and antibiotics didn't improve his condition. You note that Lamar's discriminative touch is failing. When he hallucinates and calls you, Dr. Ramsey, and his wife by different names, you decide to look up his old Green Corps records and then run a VDRL test to test for syphillis.

Evelyn de la Vega
Evelyn de la Vega is a 60 year old female, presenting with a sudden onset of total vision loss. Personal history shows she is a painter who stands for long periods of time and has leg cramps from that. Red reflex test shows no opacification, and rules out vitreous hemorrhage and endophthalmitis. Test for V.Z.V. (varicella-zoster virus) proves negative; test for A.B.I. (ankle-brachial index) shows some peripheral artery disease in limbs but is not the cause of vision loss. If you visit Evelyn's gallery with Dr. Ramsey, you note areas that are missing details in her paintings, and organize them chronologically. You determine she has a scotoma which was not sudden but has been gradual and she did not notice, as her mind was filling in the gaps. You deduce she had been taking quinine for her leg cramps, leading to toxicity which caused the scotoma. {| cellspacing="2" cellpadding="3" width="100%" style="background-color:transparent; border:3px solid #C0BFC0"

Gwyneth presents with severe weight loss (20 pounds in 3 weeks) with no change in diet or exercise, low energy, tiredness, and dizziness. Previous doctors have told her that she is doing it to herself and have recommended psychological evaluation. She has not travelled outside of the country for over a year. Tests prove she is negative for human cytomegalovirus, ulcerative colitis, I.B.D. (Inflammatory Bowel Disease), gastroenteritis, and hyperthyroidism. If you decide to search through her social media account with Dr. Ramsey, you find a video of her and her friend making steak tartare. That sparks an idea to test for Taenia saginata in her stool, which is positive. It is a tapeworm which your team estimates is about thirty-three feet long as an adult in her intestines. With treatment, you tell her that she will need to return for a follow-up in a few months.

Leland Bloom
Leland Bloom is an elderly male patient, complaining about pain. His wife states he has been getting sick more often lately. His previous doctors thought it might be due to a tumor, but his scans are negative. Others said he was suffering the effects of old age. He has high blood pressure, and his urine shows high levels of protein, red blood cells, and elevated potassium; negative for bacteria or fungi. White cell count ruled out likelihood of Hodgkin lymphoma and lupus. The protein plus elevated potassium indicate worsening kidney function. You suggest a kidney ultrasound to locate the source of the bleeding, but Leland refuses to cancel his yachting meeting. If you choose to join them on their yacht, you and Ethan bring a portable ultrasound machine to use. Upon your results, you tell him he needs to come back to the hospital. There, Ethan tells him he has high levels of immunoglobulin A, which has been building up in his kidneys for decades and is now damaging them. You inform him that he has advanced Berger's disease, and if he were to be put on a transplant list, he could die waiting. Berger's disease eventually recurs in all transplant cases as well. Because he has the funds and the means to secure a pair of kidneys and bypass the transplant waiting list, he is able to go through transplant surgery. {| cellspacing="2" cellpadding="3" width="100%" style="background-color:transparent; border:3px solid #C0BFC0"

Ed Farrugia
A Mass Kenmore transfer, Ed Farrugia presents with headaches, stomach aches specifically in the lower abdomen, constipation, and bloating. He has also been experiencing some tingling in his hands and feet. He denies contact with anyone who might be ill, stating the only person he has been in close capacity is his aide, Travis Perry. Past illnesses include a few bouts of influenza and prior concussion due to a vehicular accident over five years ago. This rules out possible bacterial infection and meningitis. Patient states he recently purchased a home by the river and has started working on it. Test for West Nile virus is negative. Ed mentions slight memory loss and Travis confirms this started a few months ago. Ed has no new vision problems; he has had reading glasses since 2017. Blood test reveals high levels of lead, possibly due to old paints in Ed's fixer-upper. When test for the paint comes back negative and more research is done, you conclude he has been poisoned with contaminated water over a period of time by his aide. {| cellspacing="2" cellpadding="3" width="100%" style="background-color:transparent; border:3px solid #C0BFC0"

Garrett Thorne presents with lost of bladder control (incontinence) and falling. (As B.P.H. -benign prostatic hyperplasia- is the most common prostate problem in men older than age 50 and Garrett mentions it "happens to plenty of men once they reach a certain age", it is assumed Garrett is around or older than 50 years old.) He states he has had no other incidents and no other symptoms and insists that he be diagnosed with B.P.H. and be prescribed alpha blockers.

Dependent on Your Character's advice as the resident advising Dr. Ortega, she will either placate him, diagnose him with B.P.H. and prescribe him alpha blockers. No further testing was conducted and the patient was discharged. Later, the patient was discovered to have hydrocephalus induced dementia while he was operating on a patient of his own. His current treatment is unknown, and the patient has resigned from his professional duties. (Path A)

Or Dr. Ortega will refuse to follow the patient's demands. His prostate was checked and was not enlarged. Patient also presents with lower back pain. Both sides of his spinal cord show inflammation (transverse myelitis), which is interrupting communication between his nervous system and his bladder. Blood tests rule out viral causes. A spinal tap reveals normal pressure hydrocephalus. (Path B)

Danny Cardinal
During an altercation between Travis Perry and Bobby Gunderson, Travis assaulted Bobby with an unknown aerosolized biological weapon. When Bobby went into cardiac arrest, Danny attempted to assess his symptoms, touching Bobby's neck and coming into contact with an oily transparent substance. Travis deployed the weapon again, droplets settling into Danny's skin and inhaled into his lungs. Within moments, Danny presents with vomiting, fatigue, hard breathing, and glassy eyes. After the CDC quarantines the area, Danny is loaded into a sealed glass box. He presents with violent shivers and remains weak. He falls into a coma and dies. {| cellspacing="2" cellpadding="3" width="100%" style="background-color:transparent; border:3px solid #C0BFC0"

During an altercation between Travis Perry and Rafael Aveiro, Travis deployed an unknown aerosolized biological weapon, the brunt of which hits himself and Rafael. Droplets settled into Rafael's skin and inhaled into his lungs. It is possible his clothing shielded him from a majority of droplets, as he did not present with symptoms as quickly as Travis or Danny did. Rafael presents with nausea, stomach cramps, a metallic taste in his mouth, itching, the sensation that his teeth are loose and going to fall out, and a reversal of hot and cold sensation. Later, he falls into a coma. When Dr. Ramsey and the team of doctors synthesize a chemical compound to neutralize the maitotoxin, they administer it to Rafael. The progression of the toxin is halted, and Rafael wakes from his coma approximately two days later.

Levi Coates
Levi is a 20-something male who suffers from chronic pain, peripheral neuropathy, and nerve damage status post car accident three years ago. Patient had a severe concussion and associated brain trauma. Patient has had three surgeries to repair the nerve damage but the last one left him paralyzed for two weeks. His current treatment is just to reduce the pain. The last trial with medicine by Panacea Labs damaged his kidneys, and exacerbated his pain. If asked, he states a good day's pain ranks 8 out of 10 on a pain scale, while most days are 10 out of 10 or even 29 out of 10. His prognosis is that he has a few years left as his body is starting to deteriorate. After his birthday, he dies from a morphine overdose, a dose that was not adjusted for his renal impairment. {| cellspacing="2" cellpadding="3" width="100%" style="background-color:transparent; border:3px solid #C0BFC0"

Paula
Paula presents with headache and rash after hitting her head against a tree in a skiing accident. Upon observation, you also note shortness of breath (which is uncommon for her) and bloodied tissues (from nosebleeds after the accident). She states she only takes ibuprofen for headaches, and is using hydrocortisone cream for the rash. Dr. Ramsey investigates the area of the accident and concludes the rash was caused by poison sumac, and is separate of the cause of the headache and other symptoms. Later, Paula develops a fever of 103 degrees Fahrenheit and her heart rate increases to 110 beats per minute. Paula displays two episodes consistent with bipolar disorder (hypomania then depression). Once transported to the hospital, the fever and heart rate return to normal. Upon further questioning of her son, Timothy, it is revealed that he had been giving her lithium to help with her bipolar disorder. The lithium caused light sensitivity, which caused her skiing accident, which led to her headache. She took ibuprofen to alleviate the headache, but that increased the lithium concentration in her blood stream, which led to hypothyroidism. This caused low hemoglobin which then caused altitude sickness, which made her headaches worse, for which she took more ibuprofen and continued to spiral. Depending on the levels of lithium, treatment ranges from supportive to more intense (such as whole bowel irrigation and hemodialysis). {| cellspacing="2" cellpadding="3" width="100%" style="background-color:transparent; border:3px solid #C0BFC0"

Marisa Flores
Female patient presents with red palms, and starting two weeks ago, stomach pains, lethargy, cramping, nausea and vomiting. You test for a parasitic cause, such as giardiasis or cryptosporidiosis, and tests prove positive for the latter. Because sepsis is a contraindication for the liver transplant procedure, the cryptosporidiosis must be treated and cured within 24 hours as the patient has a viable donated liver available. However, since cryptosporidiosis treatment takes 3 days and the donated liver can only be stored for 24 hours (editor's note: realistically a donated liver lasts less than 12 hours), the liver must be given to the next candidate on the liver transplant list. When you run into that candidate and hear that her brother was going to donate part of his liver to her, you convince him to return in 3 days to donate that portion to Marisa instead. {| cellspacing="2" cellpadding="3" width="100%" style="background-color:transparent; border:3px solid #C0BFC0"

Female patient presents with anaphylactic shock upon arrival and is given epinephrine. After the attack has passed and her blood pressure has stabilized, she still experiences stridor in her breathing, rashes in multiple regions of her body, and vomiting. Blood tests prove she has selective IgA deficiency, and bacterial infections which are exacerbated by the fact. Upon discharge, she goes into anaphylactic shock again and is given another dose of epinephrine. An allergy test proves she is allergic to IgA, and because her husband has Berger's disease and is over-producing IgA, he is exposing it to her in his saliva and sweat. Antibiotics are given to combat the bacterial infections, but there is no cure for SigAD or Berger's disease.

Andrew Polowsky
Male patient, college student, age 21, presents with flu-like symptoms and "psychic powers". In the summer, he worked as a fishing guide in the Boundary Waters near his hometown in Northern Minnesota. He denies drug use, has no history of mental health issues, and has never been outside of the country. He states his "powers" started last night. Dr. Ramsey theorizes the patient may have a brain tumor. MRI, blood panels, bacterial cultures, and tox screens come up negative. Later, he presents with confusion, slurred speech, hyperosmia, sensitivity to bright lights, neck pain and then seizures. A lumbar puncture confirms Powassan virus, which is tickborne and more common in the Great Lakes region. You surmise he picked it up over the summer but his symptoms did not develop until he returned to college. The first MRI missed the only place that was swelling at that point, around the olfactory nerve which caused the hyperosmia. His "psychic powers" were actually due to his hyper-acute sense of smell, but would disappear when the infection cleared.
 * Diagnosis
 * Encephalitis secondary to Powassan viral infection
