Summary of a case Study The case study is about Dr. Baker and Tiffany, a mother of a son(Caleb) who has cardiac problems. Caleb appeared to be breathing too hard and was unable to eat. Tiffany did not understand the condition of her son. She tried all methods which could assist her son. However, all were not successful. She became aware of Caleb’s condition when she brought him for his one-month check-up. Dr. Baker checked Caleb for a full day of medical tests. The check-up was followed by a thorough analysis of the information. From Baker's analysis of Caleb medical examinations, he discovered that Caleb possessed a hole in the heart muscle wall. This hole was between the left and right ventricles. Caleb's condition is known as ventricular septal defect. The condition could have contributed to difficulties Caleb experienced when he tried to eat. Dr. Baker concluded by asserting that the hole discovered was not big and it could be repaired through surgery.Finally, Tiffany was relieved. However, she was terrified when she heard the surgery was the only way to help her son condition.
