Tutorial
Dr. James Cork, a 26 year old dentist, has been unwell for over 1 year. During this time he reports he has had diarrhea characterized by four to six loose, bulky stools per day without blood, mucus, or pus. He has been up at least once each night to move his bowels. James has lost 7 kg despite a very good appetite. He has not travelled outside of southern Ontario or been camping. His partner of 7 years, Richard, is in good health and has not suffered any of these symptoms, nor has James been in contact with anyone else with similar symptoms. His family physician found that his hemoglobin is low.
