History |
Patient 6 is a 26-year-old female with cystic fibrosis. She had an accident cutting fruit and had to go to the ER. She received an injection of local anesthetic at the wound site, the wound was irrigated with antiseptic, and sutured closed. She was sent home the same day. Three days later, she came back to the ER with pulmonary exacerbation, a condition common for cystic fibrosis patients if they come in contact with an infectious agent. |
