Joseph is a 34 year-old man who was found
unconscious at home.
- The family indicated he has been treated
for tuberculosis for the past month.
- The family also indicated Joseph drinks
1-2 alcoholic drinks a day and he may have fallen after a period of
heavy drinking.
- The family left before the intern
arrived, so no other history was immediately available.
