Asked by Constable_Star_Dog5
Joyce Price is an 83-year old female who lives alone and is active and generally healthy. She presents to the walk-in clinic after having an incontinent episode. She is anxious and tearful, as she has taken this as a sign that she is declining in health. Upon further questions, Ms. Price reports that she has had 3 days of increasing dysuria and urinary frequency, and this morning she saw some blood when she wiped on the toilet paper, which alarmed her, as she had a friend who was diagnosed with bladder cancers after she urinated blood.
