Daniel is a 16-year-old identical twin brother. He and his brother Jeff are quite close and participate in many of the same hobbies. While Daniel excels in sports, he believes his brother outperforms him in practically every other aspect. Daniel, his brother, and their two sisters live with their parents in the Midwest. Daniel has been more tired than normal recently. He felt it was owing to his hectic schedule and excellent academic performance. His grades are normally Bs, albeit they have recently begun to decline. He passed out while getting ready for a game one day. Daniel’s coach informed his parents that he had been sent to the emergency room. While Daniel was in the hospital, the doctor decided to admit him for observation. He was sweating profusely, had a moderate fever, and was breathing shallowly. He was also tired and his blood pressure was elevated. Although his test results were odd, his doctor was unconcerned at the time. Daniel also expressed his discomfort.
