Influenza Case Study: Presentation Outline

The other diagnosis considered was pneumonia, but the patient lacked all of the symptoms corresponding to pneumonia (i.e. cough); similarly, the patient’s symptoms corresponded with the flu (i.e. fever, muscle soreness, lethargy, runny nose, and shortness of breath).

So, for these reasons, the patient was not started on oral antibiotics at the hospital.

Often domestic in focus and "remarkable for its empathy, sympathy, its muscular and emotional identification with its subjects," Williams's poetry is also characteristically honest: "There ...
