Mr Gin Ez is a 54 year old government employee with four kids and 4 grandchildren. Apart from his
responsibility in their office, he manages a farm and a furniture business in the province. He
finances a poultry business as well. He was diagnosed of DM 1 year ago and HPN since he was 45
years old. His blood sugar and HPN was controlled by diet, medications and frequent visits to his
physician every 3 months. His Creatinine, BUN, Glycohemoglobin, RBS, Cholesterol and
Triglycerides are checked every 3 months. However because he was too busy with work he
neglected going to the doctor for the past 7 months and was not religiously taking his medications
due to financial constraints.
When his laboratory results arrived, it revelaed that creatinine and BUN were 4 times higher than
normal. His cholesterol and triglyceride is high as well as his HgbA1C. By that time, Mr. Gin Ez is
very irritable and is showing signs of confusion, hallucinations and difficulty of breathing. X-ray
revealed hemothorax and pneumothorax. The doctors decided that he will undergo emergency
intrajugular catheter insertion and closed tube thoracotomy insertion.
