He is allergic to penicillin (anaphylaxis). He currently takes Salmeterol 100/50 1 inhalation twice daily for his emphysema.
His oculocephalic reflex is intact. Respirations are rapid at 22/min and regular, the heart rate is 105 with a temperature of 101. As you are leaving the room, the patient had another seizure.
