Joe Black is an established patient for whom I performed an inguinal hernia repair 3 weeks ago. The hernia repair has a 90-day global period of surgery. His hernia was caused by heavy lifting during a move to his new apartment
Today, Joe presents because of severe headaches, upper left abdominal pain, and heartburn, and he is concerned that he is experiencing a complication from the surgery. Collection of detailed history reveals that the carpet in Joe's new apartment was professionally removed last week because the carpet padding was filled with mold. Performance of detailed physical examination finds sinus congestion, swollen cervical lymph nodes, red conjunctivae, and serous fluid behind left tympanic membrane. Abdominal examination reveals no abnormalities associated with inguinal surgical incision, penis, or testicles.
