Tutorial
Luke, a 47 year old gentleman with a history of chronic alcoholism and poor eating habits, goes to the ER with a complaint of chest pain. He smokes two packs of cigarettes daily. He has not been feeling well for over one week due to an upper respiratory infection. Two days ago he developed a fever, chills and a sharp pain over his right chest that is worse when he breathes in. Luke had a dry cough initially, but today he has coughed up rusty sputum with some blood in it. Although Luke is not normally short of breath, he has had difficulty climbing the stairs to the office because of breathlessness.
