hi,
thank you for the brief history of the patient.
you have mentioned Many things here but some crucial information might be missing to give a comment on the same. Since there was a pain in the lower back all of a sudden with abdominal pain he was admitted to the hospital.
ofcourse I could see from the mentioned reports that doctor tried hard to help reduce pain as the treatment will be always symptomatically taken.
also since the pain level was not reducing they performed an exploratory laprotomy as the diagnostic procedure.
you have even mentioned about the appendicectomy in your explanation for which I wish to know that which quadrant the patient had the pain and is there any diagnostic report to confirm the appendix?
to go further, that there are many missing things so commenting will be a tough one to give. if you could provide some more detail it will of an input to comment.
also as you mentioned about the patient as a retired or still practicing at the age of 71 as a practicing doctor.
well to take this into consideration what type of animals he use to see mostly and what was his area of interest in veterinary practice. Don't take me wrong but I am just trying to figure out if any viral infection from the animal bad led to a sudden pain in the back and abdomen.
also you have mentioned that he was cycling 15kms, BP, HR etc was all normal, it is never a sure that how a humam body reacts and behaves from time to time. so if the parameters are normal that doesnt mean always that the person may not have other symptoms. don't take me wrong on this statement of mine. I spend more time with geriatric patients aged between 60-100 so I have little understanding of the physical status and fluctuations of parameters which can misguide.
since now the patient is paralyzed as per you mentioned in the history. is he totally paralyzed or half? what is the disability score of the patient?
now looking to the treatment plan with the scenario to keep in mind I will request you to first make an arrangement of a physiotherapist who can help him by regular exercises ofcourse it will be passive and may help him to recover.
also you should see that there is no formation of pressure sores of any infection to the patient. because that will directly affect the metabolism and immune system of the body.
if you can provide more inputs or give a detailed history of the patient from the time of arising of symptoms and till date I will be able to comment something. my mail and number will be available in the forum for which you can contact me. I am actually trying to understand the scene what happened when and how, what was the cause , etc etc. so with the grace of God I pray that the patient recovers soon.
