Question: Mark D’Angelo is a 66 year old male. His Psychiatric-Mental Health(PMH) includes hypertension, arthritis and gout. Mark walks frequently, eats a well balanced diet and maintains a healthy weight. He enjoys telling stories of running marathons in his younger days. When his orthopedic provider suggested that he needed a left knee replacement and then, soon after, a right knee replacement, Mark insisted that he have a bilateral knee replacement so he could “just get it over with.” The surgery went well and Mark now needs some extensive rehabilitation. Where should Mark transition? What is the rationale for your decision?
