I have a patient who's recently been diagnosed with alcohol-related liver disease. Despite all of this, he still refuses to stop drinking, as it helps him cope better with stress. The last time I told him to quit drinking, all he told me was to leave him alone, since I don't know what he's been through. What else can I do as his doctor to encourage and convince him to stop drinking and live a healthier life style? What would you do? Give your comments, suggestions, and recommendations.

We just acquired this machine but I'm having trouble with it. The liver image on the device is not showing properly. The attenuation colors are not reflecting on the screen as well, making it difficult to provide an accurate assessment of the patient's liver.
