, Roger Clinton Room 306
Roger Clinton, 57-year-old male construction worker arrives at 0600 to be
prepared for a partial thyroidectomy to determine if he has cancer. His past
symptoms for three months have been that he noticed a slight hoarseness in
speaking, a slight dry cough not related to a cold, and upon examination had
a “pea-size lump on the center of his neck”. His Endocrinologist had a
radioiodine scan performed that showed a suspicious area. The plan is to
obtain a biopsy from several areas of the thyroid gland, and hopefully to
leave as much as possible in place. Roger knows that it will take three days
after surgery to determine if he has cancer, but does not understand the
implications resulting from a thyroidectomy. (Lifetime thyroid replacement
medication.)
