MG is a 27-year-old graduate student, recently married, who comes into the student health clinic for a routine pelvic test and Pap smear. During the course of the check-up, the gynecology resident performing the test obtains the Pap smear, but also obtains cervical cultures for gonorrhea and chlamydia. The examination concludes uneventfully. Several weeks later, MG receives a postcard indicating that the Pap smear was normal, with no evidence of dysplasia, but that the cervical culture for gonorrhea was positive. The card instructs her to come into the clinic to discuss treatment, and that "public health authorities" have been notified for contact tracing, which refers to the identification and diagnosis of sexual partners, as required by law. The young woman is terrified that her husband will be contacted.

Is contact tracing ethically justified?

The wife said, he has now changed towards the better by incorporating healthier meals and less junk food items. She mentions that he has had a difficult time in the past few years with diabetes, hypertension, gouty arthritis, etc. Change in lifestyle along with therapies and the addition of a service dog aided improvements along with his family support system. The patient spends lots of time outside with his dog and has started working on small projects, which keeps him active. She also states that the patient’s HbA1c (glycosylated hemoglobin) has not been tested for almost three months and that it needs to be tested as his RBS (random blood sugar) is high. The patient visits his podiatrist regularly for peripheral neuropathy and is on B vitamins q. daily; however, his neuropathy is on remission since undergoing transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS). The patient’s wife is also doubtful about his mental status with increasing forgetfulness pointing towards dementia. She also remembered that he once complained of visual aura while doing gardening and after that he had photophobia for a while. She says he needs to undergo a dilated eye examination to diagnose retinopathy as he is complaining of blurred vision and floaters occasionally with some dry eyes. She says he uses over-the-counter Visine eye drops as a remedy, which she understood is for keratoconjunctivitis sicca.

Lessons Learned:

Teachings from this particular case study had information on CVA; symptoms, medications, diagnostic studies, etc. Additionally, the comorbidities were also given, which was helpful to understand the complications that could lead to CVA. If patients don’t have annual eye examinations, they can have visual complications. Psychological well-being is also of much significance when dealing with patients and their families. Complex information is given and the processing time is different from that of medical professionals, so more time should be given to formulate thoughts and doubts that will result in less confusion and better understanding. The likelihood of having a psychological impact on psychological symptoms can’t be disregarded. Overall, maintaining a good patient-caregiver relationship is of utmost significance to healthcare professionals for proper disease management as well as positive health outcomes.
