I just pooped and noticed bright red water in the toilet and a blood clot on my toilet paper. I have a history of anal fissures and hemorrhoids. Could this be related to those conditions, and what should I do?

I am a provider with an uninsured patient who is a 31-year-old female experiencing random episodes of headache, tongue numbness, double vision, and motor skill slowing. She has had normal full blood panel, CT head without contrast, EKG, and eye exam within the past two months. She is athletic, takes no medications, and has no known health issues except for these episodes, which make me concerned for MS. Her family has a history of diabetes mellitus. What tests should I order to determine if she needs an MRI and if she has MS?

I have been experiencing blood in my spit for 6 weeks now, with a metallic taste in my mouth. I have no cough, fever, weight loss, vomiting, or loss of appetite. I have seen an ENT who did not find anything, and I had a negative chest X-ray. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned about cancer or other serious conditions?

I have genital warts that started a month ago near my rectum and are getting worse. I have no current medications and previously had warts in 2010 that were treated by freezing. What treatment options are available for me, and can you refer me to a dermatologist?

I have a broken nose. It happened 3 hours ago and there was internal bleeding, specifically blood coming out of my nostrils. I'm 20 years old and not on any medications. Can it heal on its own, and do I need to see a doctor?
