Week 4 Case Study: Head, Neck, and Face

Mr. Raymond Jackson is a 68-year-old male who came into the office today (Monday) with a CC of right eye pain. He states this started rather suddenly over the weekend. He has redness, itching, and burning along the edge of his right eyelid. He reports no trauma. He thinks it started while he was sleeping Saturday night. Otherwise, he is in fair health. He has a history of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and seborrheic dermatitis, for which he has seen a dermatologist in the past. He still works part-time as a school crossing guard at the neighborhood elementary school. He has been a widower for two years and has three children living out of the area. He worked for many years in construction until the work became more physically demanding. He has social security, and his medical coverage is through a Medicare Advantage plan. He does not qualify for Medicaid in his state.
