Discharge Disposition:  SNF   Medications, instructions, follow up information: See patient Discharge Instructions/AVS.   Hospital Course and Significant Findings: Per Dr. 9/25: "The patient is 58 years old, is not a facility ember, and has a PMH significant for former tobacco user, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, coronary disease with history of stent, ischemic cardiomyopathy (echocardiogram 2019 with LVEF 40-45%/mild biatrial dilatation/mild AI/mild TR/moderate MR/mild cLVH/mild pulmonary hypertension), paroxysmal atrial fibrillation on apixaban, chronic kidney disease stage IIIb (unclear baseline creatinine-was 1.5 in February), hyperlipidemia, obstructive sleep apnea on CPAP, COPD, anemia, anxiety, rectal bleeding, obesity, proteinuria, back surgery, rotator cuff surgery, and I&D of groin abscess who was admitted to the hospital on 9/23/2023 with a scrotal abscess, severe sepsis, was also diagnosed with COVID-19 and acute kidney injury.  The patient had developed a pimple or abscess on scrotum he tried to squeeze.  There was no drainage but then the scrotum had become increasingly painful, red, and swollen.  The patient presented emergency department was seen by urology.   A contrast-enhanced CT scan of the abdomen & pelvis was performed that showed the scrotal abscess, a 1.6 cm right adrenal nodule, a 4.5 cm abdominal aortic aneurysm, and some enlarged lymph nodes.  Blood cultures were sent.  The patient was treated with broad-spectrum antibiotics (Zosyn and IV vancomycin).  The patient was volume resuscitated with LR.  The patient's apixaban and clopidogrel were held.  The patient was taken to the OR on 9/23 and approximately 100 cc of pus was evacuated.  Cultures were sent from the OR.   The patient states that he lives with his grandson.  He and his grandson had had a "cold" last week and have gotten over it.  He thinks that, in retrospect, the "cold" he experienced may have been due to COVID.  However, the patient tested negative for COVID at that time.  The patient reports that he only has a "very light" cough at this point.  The patient is unsure if he ever had COVID and was never vaccinated as his cardiologist did not recommend it due to "fluid around my heart".  We discussed the risks/benefits/alternatives of treatment with remdesivir and it was decided not to treat with remdesivir.  The patient's last day of inpatient isolation is October 3.   Discussed the abdominal aortic aneurysm that patient should have follow-up monitoring.  The patient understood and will follow up with his usual doctors.   The patient stated that he had been scheduled to have a Watchman device placed this coming week to hopefully allow him to come off of anticoagulation.   Discussed the adrenal adenoma and that the patient should have testing performed once he is back to his baseline health to rule out a hyperfunctioning nodule.  The patient understood and will follow up with his usual doctors."
