The patient has known risk factors for peptic ulcer disease. Old record shows history of esophageal varices with sclerosing, ACA, and cirrhosis with portal hypertension. Did you know you had that? What? Cirrhosis of your liver, that you have a sick liver from the times when you used to do heavy drinking.
Did they talk to you about it? No, not cirrhosis, unless I didn't know what it was. Yeah. Have you ever been in any treatment or getting any help for cutting back on the drinking? Have you done that? Yeah, I did. How's that been going? It's been doing fine.
Yeah. What made you make a decision to do that? I don't know. The doctor told me. Oh, the doctor's advice. Yeah. He gave you strong advice and said-- what did he say to you? What was his words? He told me that I should do something, you know.
And I wouldn't have to drink like that. Did he tell you how you were going to stop drinking? Did he give you a suggestion where to go for help? Yeah, he told me where to go. Did you go someplace for help? That's really good. Mhm. So what happened Saturday then? Well, Saturday, I went down to ? BROCKLAND. ? And my friend lives down there.
So I drank two cans of beer. Ah, you didn't know that you couldn't handle that? No, I figured two cans of beer wouldn't bother me. But it made me very sick. And it made my stomach hurt very bad. Yeah. Are you thinking about not drinking at all after this? Yes.
Sometimes people are-- like if this was a scale, sometimes they're not ready. Sometimes they're not sure. And sometimes they're ready. No, I'm ready. You're ready to do something. Yeah. Why's that? Because I don't want my stomach to hurt like this.
The pain, huh. Yeah. And the damage to the liver and stuff. Yeah. Yeah, and you wanted to go to work today and take care of your family. And now you have to be here. I wanted to go to work tomorrow. Yeah, I'm sorry.
I hope you do better. We're going to get you the best care we can. Right now we're just getting right on top of the problem. And then before you leave the hospital, I'm going to recommend someone comes to talk to you more to see what they can do to help you to carry out your plan, to be ready. Because it makes sense to me that if you want to eliminate the health problems and what it's done to you, then you need some support in stopping completely.
But it's not easy. Yeah, that's true. I'm sure it hasn't been easy. Has there been some good things about your drinking in the past, like with friends and stuff? Well, when I was younger, maybe. Yeah. But not now.
