Hasn't smoked in 20 years or more now i bet from copd and sarcoidosis. Heavy drinker yes but seldom the last 15 years really as the meds he's on and Alcohol bad for liver. They've had to stop all his meds for a month or longer 2 times in the past, have dialysis and liver came back around.
He's on immune suppression drugs for sarcoidosis so he gets sick super easy, last blood infection was from blood work draw almost guaranteed, same with this one. Had IV and blood work done this week and whammo, always hits him within a day or two. He gets exposed to something and sick next day usually.
Just told me Dr was gonna come in get him ready to have liver surgery and put on transplant list, what the ****. Literally it's been 2 hours since they ordered the tests(which haven't been done) to comfirm it. More than likely it's sarcoid again as after every lung scan they freak out because it show up. It's often mistaken for cancer because it's shows the same on scans, been doing this every time for a decades over it. They'll call back and want 200 other scans then his main dr says no its sarcoid. It does spread and we know it has and that's 99% chance what they saw but don't think any of them have a clue what sarcoidosis looks like, they jump the gun always.
He about had a heart attack.
He's leaving come hell or high water when IV done...
Making appt for main sarcoid guy as scans were for him anyway.
