AB Reverend  J  was  a  75-year-old  former  hospital  chaplain  who  was  well  until  he  developed  dyspepsia,  anorexia,  nausea,  and  vomiting  4  months  before  admission.  Three  months  before  admission  he  was  admitted  to  hospital  A,  a  community  hospital,  and  was  diagnosed  as  having  widely  metastatic  adenocarcinoma  involving  the  stomach,  liver,  and  pancreas  with  biliary  obstruction.  A  biliary  stent  was  placed.  At  the  time  of  diagnosis,  his  wife  reports  being  told,  "if  he  made  it  2  months,  it  would  be  a  miracle."
