I have suggested that he loosen his pants before standing, and then, when he stands with the help of his wife, they should fall to the floor. * The patient is tearful and crying constantly. She also appears to be depressed. * Discharge status: Alive but without permission. The patient will need disposition, and therefore we will get Dr. Blank to dispose of him. * Healthy appearing decrepit 69 year-old male, mentally alert but forgetful. * The patient refused an autopsy. * The patient has no past history of suicides. * The patient expired on the floor uneventfully. * Patient has left his white blood cells at another hospital. * Patient was becoming more demented with urinary frequency. * The patient's past medical history has been remarkably insignificant with only a 40 pound weight gain in the past three days. * She slipped on the ice and apparently her legs went in separate directions in early December. * The patient experienced sudden onset of severe shortness of breath with a picture of acute pulmonary edema at home while having sex which gradually deteriorated in the emergency room. * The patient left the hospital feeling much better except for her original complaints. --------------------------------
