Cristina is a 28 year old woman who identifies herself as Latina, of Puerto Rican descent, raised on the West Side and currently lives with her grandmother at Elliot House in Chelsea. At intake she reveals that she is transgender and has been living as female since she graduated from high school but her parents could not accept her gender transition so she left home and has been living with her grandmother ever since. She works full time as a clerk at a local dollar store but the pay is very minimal and she tells you she needs money to complete her transition so she started doing sex work. She came in today because when she went to a free mobile clinic in the Bronx , where she often sees her clients, to get condoms and a rapid HIV test, she did a screening for blood pressure and diabetes and her blood pressure was 160/90 and she was told she was pre-diabetic. She is very anxious about her health but has never had a regular PCP because she was afraid of insensitivity to her gender status. She is also anxious taking medications that might interfere with her transition or impact upon her appearance. She reveals that she is often depressed, when she worries about her future and now even more so now that she might have diabetes and because of her past experiences, she sometimes has nightmares. She came to your health center because some friends told her it was a good place for the LGBT community.

A 77-year-old man is admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of a university hospital from the operating room. Earlier the same day, he had presented to the emergency department with abdominal pain. His medical history included treated hypertension and hypercholesterolemia, previous heavy alcohol intake, and mild cognitive impairment. In the emergency department, he was drowsy and confused when roused and was peripherally cold with cyanosis. The systemic arterial blood pressure was 75/50 mm Hg, and the heart rate was 125 beats per minute. The abdomen was tense and distended. After the administration of 1 liter of intravenous crystalloid to restore the blood pressure, a computed tomographic scan of the abdomen showed extraluminal gas and suspected extraluminal feces consistent with a perforated sigmoid colon. He was treated with intravenous antibiotics and taken to the operating room for laparotomy. During this procedure, gross fecal peritonitis from a perforated sigmoid colon was confirmed; resection of the sigmoid colon with the closure of the rectal stump and creation of an end colostomy (Hartmann’s procedure) was performed with extensive peritoneal toilet and washout. On arrival in the ICU, he is still anesthetized and remains intubated. the arterial blood pressure is supported with a norepinephrine infusion. When the patient was in the operating room, he received a total of 4 liters of crystalloid. On his arrival in the ICU, the vital signs are a blood pressure of 88/52 mm Hg, heart rate of 120 beats per minute in sinus rhythm, central venous pressure of 6 mm Hg, and temperature of 35.6°C. An analysis of arterial blood shows a pH of 7.32, the partial pressure of carbon dioxide of 28 mm Hg, partial pressure of oxygen of 85 mm Hg, and a lactate level of 3.0 mmol per liter.
