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.
