In the given scenario above, since the doctor has known about the medical condition of Theo and the medications that he is consuming, it will likely affect the condition that he is now in. By this, the doctor’s understanding with Theo’s medical history would likely make him think that because he has coronary heart disease, it is likely that he will take up medications that will prevent him from having clot formation which is essential with the heart disease that he acquires, because of this, it will be hard for the doctor to control the bleeding that has occurred from the accident as the blood of Theo does not have the ability to clot because of the medication that he is consuming.
