During an open colon resection, the surgeon encounters a bleeding vessel. A Crile hemostat is clamped onto the vessel to stop the bleeding. While the surgeon is holding the clamp the CST applies the tip of the activated electrosurgical pencil to the hemostat to coagulate the vessel. Suddenly, the surgeon pulls her hand away, yelling aloud. Upon examination, she discovers a pinpoint third-degree burn on her right index finger. What complications might result from the burn injury?

Ruth, a 25 year office worker, decided to visit the doctor’s office after noticing changes in her body. She complained of severe nausea, vomiting, stomach pains and loss in appetite. But her biggest worries are her frequent skin itching, bloated belly and apparent yellowish pallor. After physically examining Ruth, the doctor ordered several laboratory tests. These include CBC, Coagulation studies, blood chemistry and Serologic tests. The results showed Prolonged Prothrombin time, increased INR, decreased blood proteins such as albumin, elevated liver enzymes and bilirubin levels. Her serology was reactive for the Hepatitis B surface antigen, positive for Total anti-HBc but negative for the anti-HBe and anti-HBs Answer the following questions, using the medical information of Ruth. 1. What do you think is the health issue of Ruth? Provide medical evidence. 2. What do you think caused the liver disease of Ruth? Explain your answer 3.
