My Clinical Example

I've been studying for taking test #2 of 4 for my medical license. I'm pretty sure it's like 10 times harder than taking the Bar exam.
Anyway, this is an excerpt from a clinical example they gave for a lung abscess:
In fact, the most striking feature of his presentation is not his physical exam, but the fact that as soon as you enter the room, there is such a powerful, bad odor that you look under the bed in the drawers to see if a decomposing, dead animal can be found when suddenly you realize it's your patient's breath. No dead animals are found.
