Heading: Jones's Medical History

Text: Jones has had a myriad of health problems. In 1998, Jones had a triple by-pass, and in 2004, a stent was placed in his right coronary artery. In June 2005, Jones saw his primary care physician, Dr. Ransom (the physician), regarding chest pain. His chest x-ray showed bullous [3] emphysema. In July 2005, Jones underwent a hernia surgery. In September 2005, Jones visited his cardiologist, Dr. Henderson (the cardiologist), who noted in a report to the physician that Jones's heart was doing well and that its rhythm was regular. A September 2005 CT scan showed extensive emphysema throughout both lungs. In October 2005, a thoracic surgeon, Dr. Aguinaga (the surgeon), performed a cervical mediastinoscopy, bronchoscopy, thoracoscopy, and right upper lobe resection. The surgeon discovered severe bullous emphysema throughout Jones's right lung. A suspicious lesion in the right lung was benign.
