## Context

The patient is a 93-year-old Caucasian female with a past medical history of chronic right hip pain, osteoporosis, hypertension, depression, and chronic atrial fibrillation admitted for evaluation and management of severe nausea and vomiting and urinary tract infection.

Hi, how old are you madam?

Ha! Not so old okay!

Oh I am so sorry to hear that.

Yes that is correct.

Let me see what we can do here.

Thank you doctor.

Doctor: Hi, how old are you madam?
Patient: I am ninety three. I am a super duper old Swedish woman.
Doctor: Ha! Not so old okay!
Patient: I had vomiting episodes and I am feeling very nauseous.
Doctor: Oh I am so sorry to hear that.
Patient: I have pain in urination too, I think I might have the U T I?
Doctor: Let's see here. So you already have a right hip issue, bone disease, hypertension, depression, and heart rhythm disorder for a long time.
Patient: Yes that is correct.
Doctor: Let me see what we can do here.
Patient: Thank you doctor.

The patient is experiencing severe nausea, vomiting, and pain during urination, which indicates she might have a urinary tract infection. Given her age (93 years old) and existing medical conditions such as chronic atrial fibrillation, osteoporosis, hypertension, and depression, any additional symptoms can pose a significant health risk. These factors collectively elevate the situation's seriousness, as complications from an untreated UTI or severe nausea could significantly impact her overall health. Additionally, at her age, there is a greater risk for complications or worsening of current conditions if not managed promptly.

No, never!

Did you ever smoke?

No.

How about drugs? Marijuana or anything?

Well, I always stayed away from drugs.

Okay.

Doctor: Do you drink?
Patient: No, never!
Doctor: Did you ever smoke?
Patient: No.
Doctor: How about drugs? Marijuana or anything?
Patient: Well, I always stayed away from drugs.
Doctor: Good. And what is your living arrangement? Do you stay with your kids?

## Context

This is a 54-year-old female who was complaining of right hand numbness and tingling of the median distribution and has elected to undergo carpal tunnel surgery secondary to failure of conservative management.

Good afternoon, how old are you?

Hello Doctor, I'm fifty four years old.

What gender do you identify with?

I identify as a female.

Has this helped at all?

Its called a carpal tunnel release.

Doctor: Good afternoon, how old are you?
Patient: Hello Doctor, I'm fifty four years old.
Doctor: What gender do you identify with?
Patient: I identify as a female.
Doctor: Thank you. What symptoms are you experiencing in your right hand?
Patient: I have numbness and tingling in my right hand.
Doctor: Are there any specific fingers that you feel it in?
Patient: I really feel it in my fifth, fourth, and third fingers.
Doctor: What kind of treatments have you done for this pain?
Patient: I've taken antiinflammatories, stayed away from sports and stuff like that, and rested.
Doctor: Has this helped at all?
Patient: No, not at all, its still numb and tingling.
Doctor: This sounds like carpal tunnel, there's a quick, minimally invasive surgery I can do on this hand, since it hasn't responded to nonoperative treatments. I think that'll really help.
Patient: I'd like to do that, what's the name of the procedure?
Doctor: Its called a carpal tunnel release.

In this situation, a patient and medical assistant are discussing surgical intervention for persistent symptoms that have not responded to conservative treatment. While any surgical procedure carries some level of risk, carpal tunnel release is generally considered a low-risk, routine surgery with a high success rate for alleviating symptoms. Therefore, while there are stakes involved given it is a surgery, it's not life-threatening and is typically performed on an outpatient basis.

Pregnancy and delivery with no complications.  He has no history of hospitalizations or surgeries.

Do you have any children, ma'am?

No, thankfully.

Correct, I never have.

Doctor: Do you have any children, ma'am?
Patient: Yes, I have a wonderful baby girl at home.
Doctor: Wonderful, were there any complications with your pregnancy or delivery?
Patient: Nope, everything went very smooth. I'm thankful.
Doctor: Good, have you ever been hospitalized for any issue?
Patient: No, thankfully.
Doctor: Good, so I can assume you've never had surgery?
Patient: Correct, I never have.

The conversation revolves around a routine medical history intake, without any indicated issues or complications. The user has not experienced any complications during pregnancy or delivery, nor any hospitalizations or surgeries. This situation seems to be part of the standard procedure in collecting background information rather than addressing immediate health concerns or complex medical decisions, making it low-stakes.

Include left total hip replacement many years ago, history of hysterectomy, and appendectomy in the young age.

I had a hip replacement years ago.

Both hips?

My left.

Total?

Yeah.

Got it.

Doctor: Any past surgeries that I should know of?
Patient: I had a hip replacement years ago.
Doctor: Both hips?
Patient: My left.
Doctor: Total?
Patient: Yeah.
Doctor: Got it.
Patient: I also had my uterus and appendix removed. I was young when I had my appendix taken out.
Doctor: Do you happen to remember who did your most recent surgeries?
Patient: Wish I did. I'd have to look back at my records and get back to you. I have everything at home.
Doctor: That's no problem. I should be able to look it up from my end, too.

The conversation involves obtaining a patient's surgical history, which is standard procedure for medical assessments. While it involves important health information, there is no immediate risk or urgent decision being made that could be considered high-stakes. The patient is in a non-critical situation and is simply providing past medical information. Additionally, the surgeries mentioned, such as hip replacement, hysterectomy, and appendectomy, have already been performed and are part of the patient's medical history.

Accutane and takes no other medications.

Are you taking any medications?

Okay, any other medicines?

No, just that.

Okay.

Doctor: Are you taking any medications?
Patient: Yes, I am taking Accutane for my acne issues.
Doctor: Okay, any other medicines?
Patient: No, just that.
Doctor: Okay.

The conversation is about the patient's medication use, specifically Accutane. Accutane (isotretinoin) can have significant side effects, and monitoring is important, but in this context, it does not appear to be a high-stakes situation as the patient is only confirming medication use. There is no indication of an urgent or high-risk scenario involving the medication discussed here.

1.  He has a surgery on his stomach as a child.  He does not know the type. 2.  Surgery for a leg fracture. 3.  Craniotomy seven years ago for an intracranial hemorrhage/subdural hematoma.

How was the recovery for that?

Okay.

Okay. Is that all?

Yep. That's it.

Doctor: Do you have any history of surgeries, sir?
Patient: The most recent was seven years ago. I had a craniotomy. I had a brain hemorrhage and there was bleed inside and outside the brain that they had to fix.
Doctor: How was the recovery for that?
Patient: I took a while but the doctors said I had a normal recovery time.
Doctor: That is good. Have you had any other surgeries?
Patient: I had surgery on my leg for a fracture. They put some pins in my leg.
Doctor: Okay.
Patient: I had some kind of surgery done on my stomach when I was a kid. I am not sure what the surgery was. All I know is that it was a very common procedure with no complications.
Doctor: Okay. Is that all?
Patient: Yep. That's it.

The conversation involves a patient's surgical history, which is important for medical records and may influence future medical decisions. However, the patient seems to be in a stable condition with normal recovery from all past surgeries. This information gathering is routine in medical settings and doesn't imply an urgent or dangerous situation.

Both parents experienced memory problems in their ninth decades, but not earlier. 5 siblings have had no memory trouble. There are no neurological illnesses in his family.

Okay.

Doctor: So, lets talk about your family, anybody in your family have any neurological problems?
Patient: No, I don't think so, my parents did experience some memory loss but that was when they were in their nineties. And I am assuming it was mostly from the old age rather than any neuro problem.
Doctor: Yeah, that is true. And how about your brothers and sisters, do you have any?
Patient: Oh yeah, I have five siblings and they are pretty healthy! I mean all of them are doing good, no one has any memory issues as far as I know or any neuro related illness.
Doctor: Okay.

The information shared is about family medical history concerning memory problems and neurological illnesses. The patient is confirming the absence of significant neuro-related health issues, except for age-related memory loss in very elderly parents. This conversation is routine and involves gathering family medical history, which is important but typically does not present an immediate threat or high-stakes scenario unless additional concerning symptoms or risk factors are present. Therefore, in this situation, there are no immediate urgent implications or critical decisions to make based on the information provided.

2ppd smoker since his teens; quit 2 years ago. 6-pack beer plus 2 drinks per day for many years: now claims he has been dry for 2 years. Denies illicit drug use.

Do you drink at all?

No none of that.

Doctor: Do you smoke, or have you smoked in the past?
Patient: Yeah, I quit two years ago. But before that I used to smoke two packs per day. I first started smoking as a teenager.
Doctor: Do you drink at all?
Patient: I used to drink six packs of beer plus two additional drinks a day for many years. Good news is that I've been dry for two years now.
Doctor: Any illicit drug use, such as cocaine, marijuana or heroin?
Patient: No none of that.

The patient's past smoking and drinking habits may have significant implications for his current and future health, but he claims to have quit both smoking and drinking for two years, which is positive. The primary stakes involve monitoring any long-term health effects due to his previous lifestyle, especially since such habits can have lasting impacts on cardiovascular and liver health. However, he denies any illicit drug use, and there is no immediate medical emergency or decision being faced at this moment. Therefore, while there is a degree of concern for his health, the situation isn't currently urgent or life-threatening.

The patient returns to the Pulmonary Medicine Clinic for followup evaluation of COPD and emphysema.  She was last seen in the clinic in March 2004.  Since that time, she has been hospitalized for psychiatric problems and now is in a nursing facility.  She is very frustrated with her living situation and would like to return to her own apartment, however, some believes she is to ill to care for herself. At the present time, respiratory status is relatively stable.  She is still short of breath with activity, but all-in-all her pulmonary disease has not changed significantly since her last visit.  She does have occasional cough and a small amount of sputum production.  No fever or chills.  No chest pains.

Okay. Do you have any fever or chills?

No, none of that.

Doctor: Hello, miss. How are you doing today? It looks like we are evaluating C O P D and emphysema.
Patient: Yes, the last time I was seen in Pulmonary Medicine Clinic was March two thousand and four.
Doctor: It has been quite some time. How are you feeling?
Patient: I have actually been hospitalized for psychiatric problems and now live in a nursing facility. Things have not been too great. I don't like living there.
Doctor: I understand the frustration. When you live in a nursing facility you lose a lot of your freedom.
Patient: I want to live back in my apartment, but I know I am too ill to care for myself.
Doctor: In spite of all of that how are your respiratory issues?
Patient: I feel pretty stable. I still have shortness of breath when I do activities, but with my condition I feel like that is something I will have to live with.
Doctor: Unfortunately, that is the nature of the disease. I am happy to see that the pulmonary disease has not changed significantly since your last visit.
Patient: The only thing that seems to have changed is that I have a small cough and produce some mucus.
Doctor: Okay. Do you have any fever or chills?
Patient: No, none of that.
Doctor: Do you experience any chest pains? I want to check especially since you have been coughing up some mucus.
Patient: No, I luckily do not have any chest pains.

The situation involves a patient's health concerns, both respiratory due to COPD and emphysema, and mental health due to previous psychiatric hospitalization. The patient expresses dissatisfaction with her living situation in a nursing home and a desire for more independence, which can impact both her mental and physical health. However, her respiratory condition is stable, and there is no immediate life-threatening issue at hand since she denies fever, chills, or chest pain. Thus, while the situation is significant and involves complex health and living situation dynamics, it does not appear to be extremely urgent or life-threatening at this moment.

The patient is a 56-year-old noted to have microscopic hematuria with overactive bladder.  Her cystoscopy performed was unremarkable.  She continues to have some episodes of frequency and urgency mostly with episodes during the day and rare at night.  No gross hematuria, dysuria, pyuria, no other outlet obstructive and/or irritative voiding symptoms.  The patient had been previously on Ditropan and did not do nearly as well.  At this point, what we will try is a different medication.  Renal ultrasound is otherwise unremarkable, notes no evidence of any other disease.

Can you confirm your age for me, ma'am?

Sure, I'm fifty six years old.

Have you ever had a cystoscopy?

Are you having any pain with urination?

No, no pain.

Doctor: Can you confirm your age for me, ma'am?
Patient: Sure, I'm fifty six years old.
Doctor: Great, so what brings you in to see me today?
Patient: Um, I'm peeing a lot, and I'm having  a little bit blood in that urine as well.
Doctor: Have you ever had a cystoscopy?
Patient: Yes, it was unremarkable, that's what they told me.
Doctor: When are your episodes for the most part?
Patient: Um, usually during the day. I don't usually have them at night.
Doctor: Are you having any pain with urination?
Patient: No, no pain.
Doctor: Aside from the little bit of blood, can you tell if there's any pus in your urine?
Patient: No, I don't have any of that, it's just the little bit of blood.
Doctor: Have you taken any medications for this?
Patient: Um, I had Ditropan, and it didn't do very well.
Doctor: Well, this ultrasound of the kidney is also unremarkable, so at this time I think we should try a different medication.

While the patient is experiencing persistent urinary symptoms and some microscopic hematuria, her tests, including cystoscopy and renal ultrasound, were unremarkable, which reduces the immediacy of a serious condition. The situation involves determining an effective treatment for her symptoms, but there is no indication of life-threatening or severe complications at this point. Changing medication is a routine adjustment rather than a high-stakes decision.

This 64 y/o RHM had had difficulty remembering names, phone numbers and events for 12 months prior to presentation, on 2/28/95. This had been called to his attention by the clerical staff at his parish--he was a Catholic priest. He had had no professional or social faux pas or mishaps due to his memory. He could not tell whether his problem was becoming worse, so he brought himself to the Neurology clinic on his own referral.

Hello sir, how are you?

Sure!

So were you referred by someone or-

Okay. And what is your age?

I am sixty four years young!

I am right handed.

So, tell me what is going on with you?

Well, it's not uncommon.

Oh, okay. What do you do?

Around twelve months back.

It's twenty eighth of February.

Thank you!

Doctor: Hello sir, how are you?
Patient: I don't know, I don't know whether I am good, or my problem is getting worse and that is the reason I got myself to your clinic for a neurological consult.
Doctor: Hm, don't worry! We will take care of you, let me start by taking some details.
Patient: Sure!
Doctor: So were you referred by someone or-
Patient: Oh, no I referred myself to your clinic.
Doctor: Okay. And what is your age?
Patient: I am sixty four years young!
Doctor: Ah, that's clever, you certainly look very young. And which is your dominant hand? Are you left handed, or right?
Patient: I am right handed.
Doctor: So, tell me what is going on with you?
Patient: Well, lately I am having difficulty remembering names and phone numbers or even events.
Doctor: Well, it's not uncommon.
Patient: I know, but I am usually very good at remembering things. I would have not worried that much, but it was brought to my attention by my clerical staff.
Doctor: Oh, okay. What do you do?
Patient: Well, I was the catholic priest at my parish, like we have our own small administrative district and church.
Doctor: Okay, and when did you notice first that you are forgetting things?
Patient: Around twelve months back.
Doctor: And did it cause any problem at work or any mishaps?
Patient: No, not at all! No social or professional faux pas whatsoever.
Doctor: Okay, I have my notes let me put the date, oh what is the date-
Patient: It's twenty eighth of February.
Doctor: Thank you!

The situation involves a 64-year-old individual experiencing memory issues, which could potentially signify the onset of a neurological disorder such as Alzheimer's or another form of dementia. Although no mishaps or significant incidents have occurred due to the memory lapses and the individual seems to manage daily activities, the fact that he's taken the initiative to seek a neurological consultation suggests concern for his cognitive health. Early diagnosis and intervention in such cases can be critical. Therefore, while immediate, dramatic consequences aren't present, the potential implications on the individual's health and quality of life make this a moderately high-stakes situation.

She is being discharged to home.  She will stay with a friend for a couple of days.  She will be following up with Dr. X on Monday or Tuesday.  Apparently Dr. Y has already discussed the situation and the plan with her.  She will continue on her usual medications except for discontinuing the Prozac.

All right, you can go home now.

Thank you doctor.

Yes.

Doctor: All right, you can go home now.
Patient: Thank you doctor.
Doctor: You can stay at your friend's place and make sure to take good care of yourself.
Patient: Yes.
Doctor: Make sure you follow up with Doctor X on Monday or Tuesday. I know that Doctor Y already discussed his plans. Continue taking your medicines except Prozac. Okay?

The situation described involves a patient being discharged and needing follow-up care from her doctors. While this involves medical aspects, the discharge and continuation of care are part of a planned process, and there is no mention of immediate or life-threatening health concerns in the current context. This makes the stakes moderate, as proper follow-up and adherence to medical advice are important for the patient's health, but not critical in an urgent sense.

This 67 y/oRHM first began experiencing horizontal binocular diplopia 25 years prior to presentation in the Neurology Clinic. The diplopia began acutely and continued intermittently for one year. During this time he was twice evaluated for myasthenia gravis (details of evaluation not known) and was told he probably did not have this disease. He received no treatment and the diplopia spontaneously resolved. He did well until one year prior to presentation when he experienced sudden onset horizontal binocular diplopia. The diplopia continues to occur daily and intermittently; and lasts for only a few minutes in duration. It resolves when he covers one eye. It is worse when looking at distant objects and objects off to either side of midline. There are no other symptoms associated with the diplopia.

Hi! Thank you.

What brings you in to the clinic today?

What did you notice as far as symptoms?

How long do the episodes last?

What eyelid was drooping?

I don't remember?

What is your dominate hand?

I am right handed.

And how old are you?

I am sixty seven.

Yes.

No.

Doctor: Hi there! Welcome to the Neurology clinic, sir.
Patient: Hi! Thank you.
Doctor: What brings you in to the clinic today?
Patient: I was diagnosed with binocular diplopia twenty five years ago but I haven't had much of an issue with it until about a year ago.
Doctor: What did you notice as far as symptoms?
Patient: Suddenly, I started having double vision.
Doctor: Did the double vision happen more than one time?
Patient: It has been happening almost every day off and on through out the day.
Doctor: How long do the episodes last?
Patient: They last for only a few minutes at a time. When I was first diagnosed years ago it happened for a year and then it stopped happening. It was not happening as often as it is now.
Doctor: Did you ever receive any treatment for your binocular diplopia?
Patient: No. It spontaneously resolved and so I didn't need to seek any treatment. Back when all this was happening it had two episodes of a drooping eyelid. I thought I had myasthenia gravis but I was told that that was probably not the case.
Doctor: What eyelid was drooping?
Patient: I don't remember?
Doctor: What is your dominate hand?
Patient: I am right handed.
Doctor: And how old are you?
Patient: I am sixty seven.
Doctor: Involving the double vision, does it become worse when looking at distant objects?
Patient: Yes.
Doctor: When you look at objects off to either side of midline does it become worse?
Patient: Yes. That makes it worse too. When I put my hand over one eye is goes away.
Doctor: Do you have any other symptoms related to the vision issues?
Patient: No.

The patient's recurrent binocular diplopia, particularly because it worsens when looking at distant objects and to the sides, suggests a potential underlying neurological issue. While the patient reports no other symptoms and the diplopia resolves when one eye is covered, this type of double vision can indicate problems with the extraocular muscles or nerves, possibly related to previously dismissed myasthenia gravis. Although not immediately life-threatening, this issue warrants further investigation due to the resurgence and change in frequency of symptoms, especially given the patient's age. The stakes are moderate due to the potential for an undiagnosed neurological condition.

The patient is a pleasant, 31-year-old, right-handed, white female who injured her shoulder while transferring a patient back on 01/01/02.  She formerly worked for Veteran's Home as a CNA.  She has had a long drawn out course of treatment for this shoulder.  She tried physical therapy without benefit and ultimately came to a subacromion decompression in November 2002.  She had ongoing pain and was evaluated by Dr. X who felt that she had a possible brachial plexopathy.  He also felt she had a right superficial radial neuritis and blocked this with resolution of her symptoms.  He then referred her to ABCD who did EMG testing, demonstrating a right suprascapular neuropathy although a C5 radiculopathy could not be ruled out.  MRI testing on the cervical spine was then done which was negative for disk herniation and she underwent suprascapular nerve decompression of the scapular notch on 12/18/03.  She finally went to an anterior axillary nerve block because of ongoing pain in the anterior shoulder again by Dr. X.  She comes to me for impairment rating.  She has no chronic health problems otherwise, fevers, chills, or general malaise.  She is not working.  She is right-hand dominant.  She denies any prior history of injury to her shoulder.

Welcome back to the clinic.

Thank you.

Yes, that's correct.

Yes.

Was this a workrelated injury?

How did the work injury happen?

What is the date of the incident?

January first, two thousand and two.

Are you currently working?

No.

Are right or left hand dominant?

Patient: Thank you.
Doctor: I understand that we are doing an impairment rating exam today.
Patient: Yes, that's correct.
Doctor: And we are evaluating your right shoulder injury. Correct?
Patient: Yes.
Doctor: Was this a workrelated injury?
Patient: Yes. I was working as a C N A at the Veteran's House.
Doctor: How did the work injury happen?
Patient: I was transferring a patient from a wheal chair to a bed, and I hurt my shoulder.
Doctor: What is the date of the incident?
Patient: January first, two thousand and two.
Doctor: Are you currently working?
Patient: No. I have not been able to go back to work yet.
Doctor: I am required to ask some specific questions for the L and I paperwork. What is your ago, ethnicity and gender?
Patient: I am a thirty one year old, white, female.
Doctor: Have you ever had a prior injury to your right shoulder?
Patient: No.
Doctor: Are right or left hand dominant?
Patient: Right.
Doctor: Other then your shoulder injury, do you have any other chronic health problems?
Patient: No.
Doctor: Are you experiencing any fever, chills or illnesses?
Patient: No.
Doctor: Let discuss some of the previous treatments and test that you have been done for your shoulder.
Patient: Okey. I have done a lot of different treatments.
Doctor: What treatments have you done?
Patient: I tried physical therapy. They did a subacromion decompression treatment in November, two thousand and two.
Doctor: Did either of those treatments help?
Patient: Not much. I went and saw Doctor Lin and he said that I might have a nerve fiber injury. I forget what he called it.
Doctor: Brachial plexopathy?
Patient: Yes. That sounds right.
Doctor: Oh, I see his notes in your chart. It says that he felt like you had a right superficial radial neuritis and blocked this with resolution of your symptoms. Then it looks like he sent you to get E M G testing at Valley Medical. Let me look for those results.
Patient: Okey. They should be in my chart. I had Doctor Lin send over all my records.
Doctor: Here it is. It says that the right suprascapular neuropathy although a C5 radiculopathy could not be ruled out.  MRI testing on the cervical spine was then done which was negative for disk herniation and underwent suprascapular nerve decompression of the scapular notch on December eighteenth, two thousand and three.
Patient: Whatever that means? I ended up getting a nerve block because I was still in pain. Doctor Lin did one in the frount of my shoulder and then another in the back.
Doctor: This has been a long drawn out course of treatments for you.
Patient: Yes, it has been.

The patient has been dealing with a significant medical issue related to a work injury for a prolonged period. The situation involves multiple medical interventions, ongoing pain, and the inability to return to work. However, the immediate interaction is an impairment rating exam, which is part of assessing the impact of the injury but does not entail immediate medical risk or life-threatening conditions. The complexity of her condition and the implications for her ability to work again suggest moderate personal stakes, but they are more related to her long-term wellbeing rather than high-stakes urgency.

This is a 78-year-old male who recently had his right knee replaced and also back surgery about a year and a half ago.  He has done well with that.  He does most of the things that he wants to do.  He travels at every chance he has, and he just got back from a cruise.  He denies any type of chest pain, heaviness, tightness, pressure, shortness of breath with stairs only, cough or palpitations.  He sees Dr. Ferguson.  He is known to have Crohn's and he takes care of that for him.  He sees Dr. Roszhart for his prostate check.  He is a nonsmoker and denies swelling in his ankles.

What do you do with your new body?

No, nothing like that.

How about shortness of breath?

No.

Yes, I go to Doctor Roszhart.

Doctor: Hello, sir. Looks like we are here for a general wellness check?
Patient: Yes, sir. In my seventy eight years on this Earth, I have learned to take my health more seriously. I need to start catching things before they come, not after.
Doctor: I could not agree more. From your last checkup notes, it looks like you had right knee surgery and back surgery about eighteen months ago. How is that going? Any pain?
Patient: Yes, I had a right knee replacement. I am doing great so far. Nothing to complain about. I can do almost anything I desire now. It is such a good lifestyle change from before surgery.
Doctor: What do you do with your new body?
Patient: I travel every chance I get. I just got back from a cruise.
Doctor: I hope to be as agile as you when I get to retirement. Now let's check the other systems. Do you feel any type of chest pain? Any heaviness, tightness or pressure?
Patient: No, nothing like that.
Doctor: How about shortness of breath?
Patient: I only get short of breath when I walk up the stairs.
Doctor: That is decently normal. I get out of breath when walking from floor to floor in this hospital too.
Patient: I thought so. I remember being young and still struggling with stairs.
Doctor: Unfortunately, some things are just with us for life. Do you have any coughing fits or irregular heart beating?
Patient: No.
Doctor: Great! You are getting a clean bill of health from me today. On the notes it says you have Crohn's disease. Are you getting regularly checked for that?
Patient: Yes. Doctor Ferguson takes care of me for that.
Doctor: Excellent. Are you scheduled for a prostate check?
Patient: Yes, I go to Doctor Roszhart.
Doctor: You are wonderfully on top of it. What a breath of fresh air. From all of your travelling, how are your ankles? Have you noticed any swelling?
Patient: Surprisingly, from all the walking I do, I do not have any swelling. After quitting smoking ten years ago I had to get addicted to something else and that was walking and travelling.

The situation involves a general wellness check for a 78-year-old male who has had previous surgeries but is currently in good health and actively managing his known conditions. There is no immediate medical emergency or complex decision-making required. The patient is proactive about his health, attends regular check-ups, and reports no concerning symptoms aside from typical age-related changes like being out of breath after climbing stairs. Thus, the situation is routine and low-stakes.

Positive findings of the foot that have been recorded. All other systems reviewed were negative.

Where do you feel the most pain?

Regular tennis shoes.

Are they cushioned?

Alright, I'm good with that plan.

No, just heel pain for now.

Doctor: Where do you feel the most pain?
Patient: I'd have to say at the heels of my feet. I spend a lot of time on my feet at work.
Doctor: I see. What kind of shoes do you normally wear to work?
Patient: Regular tennis shoes.
Doctor: Are they cushioned?
Patient: Eh not really, but they're pretty durable.
Doctor: I'd advise getting an orthotic for your shoes to help with the heel pain and resting your feet when you're home. In the meantime, I'd like for you to see a specialist to make sure nothing else is going on.
Patient: Alright, I'm good with that plan.
Doctor: Are you having any other problems? Joint pain, difficulty walking, nausea, vomiting, or other symptoms?
Patient: No, just heel pain for now.

The situation involves a patient experiencing heel pain, which is not currently accompanied by any other symptoms. While this discomfort can affect the patient's quality of life, it is not a life-threatening condition. Given that the patient is receptive to seeking further medical advice, the risk of complications can be managed. Therefore, while the situation needs attention, it is not extremely high-stakes.

His father and mother had diabetes.

That's okay.

Both of my parents had diabetes.

Doctor: I will ask you a few questions about your family history, sir.
Patient: That's okay.
Doctor: Does anyone in your family ever have any medical problems?
Patient: Both of my parents had diabetes.

The user mentioned that both of their parents had diabetes, which is relevant when assessing their own risk factors for developing the disease. While this information alone doesn't indicate an immediate high-stakes situation, it is vital for preventive health care and risk assessment, given the hereditary nature of diabetes. However, there is no current emergency or urgent medical condition described.

She did not know her father and was not in contact with her mother.

I don't know.

What about your paternal family?

What about your mom?  Maternal family?

Doctor: Are you aware of any medical issues in your family?
Patient: I don't know.
Doctor: What about your paternal family?
Patient: I don't know my father. No idea about his family.
Doctor: What about your mom?  Maternal family?
Patient: I have no idea. I'm not in contact with her.

The conversation indicates that the user has no information on their family medical history due to lack of contact with both parents. However, this situation is not immediately life-threatening or crucial on its own, but rather a lack of knowledge that may hinder understanding potential genetic health risks or predispositions for conditions. Therefore, while it might be important for health management in general, it doesn't imply an urgent or high-stakes issue in the immediate term.

The patient is a 41-year-old male with left knee pain for approximately two years secondary to hockey injury where he did have a prior MCL sprain.  He has had a positive symptomology of locking and pain since then.  He had no frank instability to it, however.

Good morning, doctor. I'm forty one.

It's been about two years now.

Is there an injury?

Do you feel any instability?

No, not at all.

Doctor: Good morning, sir. Before we begin, how old are you?
Patient: Good morning, doctor. I'm forty one.
Doctor: Thank you, and how long have you had this left knee pain?
Patient: It's been about two years now.
Doctor: Is there an injury?
Patient: Yeah, I sprained my MCL while playing hockey back then.
Doctor: What kind of symptoms have you had in this knee since then?
Patient: Well, the knee locks up on me, I can't extend it all the way, and it just hurts really bad if I try to.
Doctor: Do you feel any instability?
Patient: No, not at all.

The situation involves chronic knee pain and potential mechanical symptoms such as locking and pain during movement, resulting from an old sports injury. While the patient's day-to-day quality of life might be affected, there is no indication of an acute or life-threatening condition, nor any mention of instability or worsening symptoms. Therefore, this is primarily a quality of life issue rather than an urgent high-stakes situation.

69-year-old Caucasian male complaining of difficulty breathing for 3 days.  He also states that he has been coughing accompanying with low-grade type fever.  He also admits to having intermittent headaches and bilateral chest pain that does not radiate to upper extremities and jaws but worse with coughing.  Patient initially had this type of episodes about 10 months ago but has intermittently getting worse since.

Yes, for three days now.

Is it worse when you exert yourself?

I think so.

Did that improve on its own?

Doctor: I see here that you've been feeling more short of breath.
Patient: Yes, for three days now.
Doctor: Is it worse when you exert yourself?
Patient: Um no, not really. I've had a terrible cough along with frequent headaches and chest congestion. I have also had a low fever.
Doctor: Did these symptoms start around the same time?
Patient: I think so.
Doctor: Where does your chest feel most congested? And how would you rate the pain right now? Ten being the worst.
Patient: Both sides. I'd say it's at a three currently.
Doctor: Does it send pain or numbness or tingling down your arms? How about any jaw pain as a result?
Patient: No, but it does get worse whenever I cough.
Doctor: Is this your first time experiencing this type of congestion?
Patient: Oh no. I had something like it about ten months ago.
Doctor: Did that improve on its own?
Patient: It would come and go, but over the past few days it's gotten worse. I am a strong German man so I held out coming to the doctor as long as I could.
Doctor: You are very strong! You are sixty nine though, so I don't think anyone would see it as weak if you came to the doctor more often.

The patient, a 69-year-old man, is experiencing symptoms that could indicate a respiratory infection or potentially something more serious like pneumonia or heart-related issues, given the chest pain and breathing difficulties. These symptoms have been worsening over a few days, which elevates the stakes due to his age and the potential risks of delaying treatment. It involves significant health risks if not promptly addressed, especially considering the potential for rapid deterioration in elderly patients.

Unremarkable.

No.

No.

Doctor: Are you aware of any medical problems in your family?
Patient: No.
Doctor: Anyone with any heart disease or diabetes?
Patient: No.

The conversation is a routine part of a patient's medical history gathering, where the assistant is checking for family history of medical conditions. This is a common practice and doesn't indicate an urgent or critical situation. If there were existing health issues, the stakes might be considered slightly higher. However, the lack of familial medical history suggests routine processing with no immediate high-stakes implications.

Focal left eye pain without any changes in visual acuity or photophobia.  He has no prior ophthalmologic problems.  Review of systems for cardiac, pulmonary, GI, GU, neurologic, musculoskeletal, endocrine, immunologic systems is negative.

No.

None.

Doctor: Besides pain in your left eye, are you having any other problems?
Patient: No.
Doctor: Do you happen to have a history of eye problems?
Patient: None.

The user is experiencing focal left eye pain, but there are no changes in vision or signs of an acute ophthalmological condition such as photophobia. Additionally, the user reported no other symptoms or relevant medical history. While eye pain can be uncomfortable and concerning, the lack of additional symptoms suggests it may not be an immediate medical emergency. However, as a medical assistant, I would still advise the user to seek professional medical evaluation to rule out any underlying issues.

## Context

The patient initially presented with loud obnoxious snoring that disrupted the sleep of his bed partner.  He was found to have moderate-to-severe sleep apnea (predominantly hypopnea), was treated with nasal CPAP at 10 cm H2O nasal pressure.  He has been on CPAP now for several months, and returns for followup to review his response to treatment. The patient reports that the CPAP has limited his snoring at night.  Occasionally, his bed partner wakes him in the middle of the night, when the mask comes off, and reminds him to replace the mask.  The patient estimates that he uses the CPAP approximately 5 to 7 nights per week, and on occasion takes it off and does not replace the mask when he awakens spontaneously in the middle of the night. The patient's sleep pattern consists of going to bed between 11:00 and 11:30 at night and awakening between 6 to 7 a.m. on weekdays.  On weekends, he might sleep until 8 to 9 a.m.  On Saturday night, he might go to bed approximately mid night. As noted, the patient is not snoring on CPAP.  He denies much tossing and turning and does not awaken with the sheets in disarray.  He awakens feeling relatively refreshed. In the past few months, the patient has lost between 15 and 18 pounds in combination of dietary and exercise measures. He continues to work at Smith Barney in downtown Baltimore.  He generally works from 8 to 8:30 a.m. until approximately 5 to 5:30 p.m.  He is involved in training purpose to how to sell managed funds and accounts. The patient reports no change in daytime stamina.  He has no difficulty staying awake during the daytime or evening hours. The past medical history is notable for allergic rhinitis.

Doctor: Hello, sir how can I help you? Looks like we are talking about snoring today.
Patient: Yeah, I need to get this loud and obnoxious snoring under control. I keep waking up my partner. I have a C P A P right now because I was told I have almost severe sleep apnea.
Doctor: Yes, I see on your chart that you were given ten centimeters of H two O nasal pressure and that you predominately suffer from hypopnea. Hypopnea is shallow breathing. How has the device been working?
Patient: It definitely has reduced my snoring, but my partner keeps waking me up in the middle of the night because the mask pops off. I wear it around five to seven nights a week, but for some reason it falls off or I take it off randomly in the night. My wife usually must remind me to put it back on.
Doctor: So what is your sleep pattern now? When do you usually go to bed and wake up?
Patient: Usually I sleep around eleven or eleven thirty and wake up at six or seven on the weekends. I'll sleep in until eight or nine on the weekdays. On Saturday's I might go to sleep around midnight because I usually watch a show with my family. I feel good when I wake up though. Much less tossing and turning. The sheets are always on the bed still.
Doctor: That's some good news. I see you have lost a bit of weight too. Around fifteen to eighteen pounds is something to be proud of.
Patient: Thanks. It has been a lot of exercising and dieting. I am motivated because I want to stop snoring.
Doctor: How has work been? Do you think it has been stressful at all?
Patient: I still work at Smith Barney in downtown Baltimore. I work from around eight or eight thirty to five or five thirty. I deal with training on how to sell managed funds and accounts. I do not think I have been stressed because I am able to stay awake through my shift and even when I come home at night. I may get a little tired during hay fever season, but that is rare.
Doctor: Yes, I see that you have hay fever. Fatigue is a common symptom from the allergy.

The situation described involves a patient's follow-up on sleep apnea treatment. Sleep apnea can be a serious health condition due to potential complications like cardiovascular issues and daytime fatigue, impacting quality of life. However, the patient's condition is being managed with CPAP therapy, which the patient feels is largely effective. Although the mask occasionally comes off, it hasn't significantly impacted his daytime alertness or overall health. The stakes are moderate as it's a health issue under active management, but not currently life-threatening.

ABC is in today for a followup of her atrial fibrillation.  They have misplaced the Cardizem.  She is not on this and her heart rate is up just a little bit today.  She does complain of feeling dizziness, some vertigo, some lightheadedness, and has attributed this to the Coumadin therapy.  She is very adamant that she wants to stop the Coumadin.  She is tired of blood draws.  We have had a difficult time getting her regulated.  No chest pains.  No shortness of breath.  She is moving around a little bit better.  Her arm does not hurt her.  Her back pain is improving as well.

Hi, how can I help you?

That's right. I misplaced it.

Oh no, I am not feeling that.

Okay great!

How about your back pain?

Um, it is improving as well.

Okay, cool.

Yeah.

Doctor: Hi, how can I help you?
Patient:  I am here for a follow up on my heart rhythm problem. I think it is atrial fibrillation.
Doctor: Oh yes. You are not on Cardizem and your heart rate is up just a little bit today.
Patient: That's right. I misplaced it.
Doctor: Okay. Let me see. What symptoms are you experiencing right now?
Patient: I am feeling very dizzy. I do have some vertigo and lightheadedness.
Doctor: You are on blood thinners, right? That is Coumadin therapy? Or am I wrong here?
Patient: No, you are right but please stop the Coumadin. I am tired of these regular blood draws.
Doctor: See, I understand it is hard to control it. It is difficult to regulate that.
Patient: Yes exactly. That is why I don't want it. Give me something simple.
Doctor: Okay I will investigate it. Are you experiencing any chest pain or shortness of breath?
Patient: Oh no, I am not feeling that.
Doctor: Okay great!
Patient: Actually, I am moving around a little bit better now and my arm does not hurt.
Doctor: How about your back pain?
Patient: Um, it is improving as well.
Doctor: Okay, cool.
Patient: Yeah.

The patient is experiencing dizziness, vertigo, and lightheadedness, which are concerning symptoms, especially given their atrial fibrillation diagnosis. The patient also wishes to stop Coumadin, a critical medication for preventing blood clots in those with atrial fibrillation. However, there are no immediate severe symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath, which reduces the urgency. The situation is moderately high-stakes because improper management of atrial fibrillation can lead to significant risks such as stroke.

This is a 61-year-old woman with a history of polyarteritis nodosa, mononeuritis multiplex involving the lower extremities, and severe sleep apnea returns in followup following an overnight sleep study, on CPAP and oxygen to evaluate her for difficulty in initiating and maintaining sleep.  She returns today to review results of an inpatient study performed approximately two weeks ago. In the meantime, the patient reports she continues on substantial doses of opiate medication to control leg pain from mononeuritis multiplex. She also takes Lasix for lower extremity edema. The patient reports that she generally initiates sleep on CPAP, but rips her mask off, tosses and turns throughout the night and has "terrible quality sleep."

Is this in your legs, or arms?

Um, it's in my legs.

Why did they do this?

Have You had any other treatments?

Do you have any swelling?

Yes, I take Lasix for my leg swelling.

How do you sleep with the C P A P?

I'd, um, say it's pretty terrible.

Doctor: Good afternoon, ma'am. Can you confirm your age for me, please?
Patient: Sure, good afternoon, doctor. I'm sixty one years old.
Doctor: Great, what brings you in for a visit today?
Patient: I have some notes here with me, but I have a history of polyarteritis nodosa mononeuritis multiplex.
Doctor: Is this in your legs, or arms?
Patient: Um, it's in my legs.
Doctor: I see here that you have sleep apnea too.
Patient: Yeah, I was involved in an overnight sleep study on C P A P and oxygen.
Doctor: Why did they do this?
Patient: It was in order to determine why I had difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep.
Doctor: Have You had any other treatments?
Patient: Yeah, I had a review done while I was in the hospital about two weeks ago, I have the results right here.
Doctor: Thank you, so, how is your leg pain been managed?
Patient: Um, I take pretty substantial doses of opioids in order to control it.
Doctor: Do you have any swelling?
Patient: Yes, I take Lasix for my leg swelling.
Doctor: How do you sleep with the C P A P?
Patient: I can fall asleep with it, but I usually rip my mask off because I toss and turn.
Doctor: How would you rate your quality of sleep?
Patient: I'd, um, say it's pretty terrible.

The situation involves multiple health conditions including polyarteritis nodosa, mononeuritis multiplex, and severe sleep apnea, all of which can significantly impact the patient's quality of life. The need for substantial opioid use indicates severe, chronic pain management issues. Additionally, issues with CPAP compliance are serious as untreated or inadequately treated sleep apnea can lead to severe consequences. Consequently, these factors combined elevate the stakes in ensuring the patient receives appropriate treatment and management of her symptoms.
