Problem Statement on case Alphonse Monroe*
Mr Monroe is a 73-year-old male on warfarin for atrial fibrillation presents with acute, painless bright-red bleeding per rectum, recurrent for 15 hours, and unintentional 10-pound weight loss. Orthostatic blood pressure drop, flat jugular veins, pale conjunctiva, and dry mucous membranes indicate possible hypovolemia. With a second-degree family history of colon cancer and an inconclusive colonoscopy 25 years ago, urgent evaluation is crucial to determine the source of bleeding.
