 A 47-year-old male patient (A) presents to your office c/o painful and bleeding defecation that started a couple of days ago. Pt also states that he noticed some intermittent pruritus on his back. Pt comes to your consultation accompanied by his male husband of 45 years old (Patient B), who suddenly states to you that he had noticed a painless “blister” on his genital area, but he is not quite sure when it appeared. Patient A: With no past or family relevant history and with no known allergies (NKA). Patient B: With a PMH of seasonal allergic rhinitis and NKA. No other family or relevant history.

Besides, you also noticed disseminated papules in the trunk and macules on palms and soles (as shown below).  Patient B: On examination, you noticed a visible ulceration in the genital area, and patient denies any pain on palpation. On general assessment, no adenopathy noted or reported by patient (B).  Since both patients are a marital couple, you proceed with serological testing for each patient (A & B). You suspect a sexually transmitted disease. On your verbal assessment, both patients (A&B) deny having or being treating in the past for STD’s in the past, to which you believe. Lab Results: Patient A: Leukocytosis – Treponema (Positive) – Non-Treponema (Positive) – HIV (Negative) – Hepatitis (Negative) Patient B: Treponema (Positive) – Non-treponema (Negative) – HIV (negative) – Hepatitis (Negative) ——————— Do not include the above section in your paper.

(be specific. Your diagnosis contains stages. Therefore, be specific on them) 5) How are you going to treat Patient A?

In natural law ethics, nature and the natural processes of life are good while going against nature and natural human inclinations is bad.

The Makropulos Affair (Links to an external site.) is a famous three-act opera written by the Czech composer Leos Janacek, based on a play of the same name by Karel Capek. It tells the story of Elina Makropulos who, at the age of 42, is given an elixir of life by her father. The elixir allows her to live another 300 years at her current biological age. After those 300 years, she can choose to take the elixir again and live for another 300 years, or she can allow herself to die naturally. The opera/play concludes with her having lived out her 300 years. She has outlived all her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, friends, lovers and relatives. Times have changed and she has witnessed much history.  She now has to choose to drink the elixir again (there is only one dose left) or not.

She asks your advice.

If offered, would you have taken the dose?

What should she do with the last and only dose?
