DISCHARGE SUMMARY
-2HOSPITAL COURSE:
Her 8-day stay at this Hospital was un-
eventful and she remained generally
asymptomatic except for a few non-specific muscle pains. Her cardiovascular/renal
disease was not considered sufficiently advanced to preclude surgery and she was
discharged June 10th,1973, and taken to Cleveland.
Just prior to discharge, she
was given 25 uCi of L31Z to ensure complete removal of the thyroid at surgery
and for study of activity of thyroid tissues removed.
At the Cleveland Metropolitan General
Hospital, Dr. Brown Dobyns performed
thyroid surgery on June lith. A 1.5 cm nodule was removed from the right lobe
and a right lobectomy was performed. The pathological diagnosis was "thyroid
adenomata’,She withstood surgery well, with no complications. Post-operacive
convalescence was uneventful and she waa discharged June 18th for return to che
Marshall Islanda. The hospital summary and pathological reports from the
Cleveland Hospital are inserted in her BNL record.
FINAL DIAGNOSIS:
Thyroid adenomata.
Hypertension.
Reduced kidney function, secondary to
hypertension.
DISCHARGE MEDICATION:
In view of her low thyroid reserve and
right lobectomy performed, supplementary
thyroxin treatment wae considered but, in view of her hypertension and age, it
was considered better to observe her and sea if supplemental therapy was necessary.
She will, therefore, be cbserved at regular intervals on her return home to check
on her thyroid status.
