HART NOTE-JOHN SMITH

S:        This is a 54-year-old male who presents with fatigue. He also has headaches. Because of a history of some visual field deficits during his headaches, his ophthalmologist ordered an MRI of the brain. I reviewed the films and did not see anything but the expected post-surgical changes of the brain. Lab tests show that he does have some residual function of the pituitary gland, so his endocrinologist only placed him on testosterone patches and thyroid hormone replacement (Synthroid). He also has a history of depression, which could explain the fatigue and headache, or they could be due to low thyroid replacement levels.

O:        HEENT: Normal. Lungs: Clear to auscultation. Cardiovascular: Regular rate and rhythm, without murmurs, rubs or gallops. Abdomen: Nondistended, nontender. Extremities: No edema.

A:        1. Fatigue. Possibly hypothyroidism. Will check T3, T4, and TSH levels.

            2. Headache, possibly within the context of depression. He is on a rather low dose of an antidepressant drug at this time.

            3. Hypopituitarism.

P:        1. Will obtain an FSH, LH, free and total testosterone, and baseline ACTH.

            2. Follow up in 1 week

Edward Norton, MD

I will be discussing Parkinson's Disease (PD). "PD introduced by James Parkinson in early 1800s is described as shaking palsy" (Trevisan, 2019, s. 7.1). Further observation now describes PD as some form of Paralysis. Parkinson's symptoms can range from depression to dementia. There are five stages to Parkinson's Disease. Stage one is where one may experience mild symptoms, whereas Stage five is more intense where one may not leave their bed. Although PD is rarely genetically passed down, research shows that environmental triggers cause PD. Unfortunately, there is no test for PD diagnoses, which leads to misdiagnosis. The issue with PD is that the symptoms are often mistaken with older age. As mentioned, there is no test, so doctors examine the problems and apply the process of elimination. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) "prohibits discrimination from people with disabilities" ("Americans with Disabilities Act | U.S. Department of Labor", n.d.). Under ADA, one with a disability can apply for Employer Assistance and Resource Network in Disability Inclusion (EARN) for free. EARN educates employers on the hiring process of an employee with a disability. EARN also provides a website for job seekers with known disabilities. "Social Security pays monthly benefits to individuals who are unable to work for a year or more due to a disability" ("How You Qualify | Disability Benefits | SSA", n.d.). Under social security, you have to meet their definition of disability, and they require one to have worked long enough and recently. The issues with these acts are the diagnosis of PD. PD is often delayed in diagnosing. Which means that one may not even know they have the disease. The problem is that a person may not even realize they qualify for these acts. A person may not even be allowed; they are unaware of having the disease. Unfortunately, one may go years without knowledge of their condition resulting in negative outcomes for the patient. These adverse outcomes range from quitting their job due to their illness or possibly being laid off due to lack of knowledge from the employer. An employer may mistake an employee's disease with lack of work resulting in firing and hiring someone with more motivation.
