Abstract
Guadalupe is a 72-year-old Honduran woman with a long history of right lower abdominal pain that has worsened over the past 4 months. Her past medical history is significant for diet-controlled diabetes and high blood pressure for which she takes hydrochlorothiazide and atenolol. She has never had surgery and has no family history of problems with anesthesia.
