The patient comes to the clinic today for followup.  I am seeing him once every 4 to 8 weeks.  He is off of all immunosuppression.  He does have mild chronic GVHD but not enough to warrant any therapy and the disease has been under control and he is 4-1/2-years posttransplant. He has multiple complaints.  He has had hematochezia.  I referred him to gastroenterology.  They did an upper and lower endoscopy.  No evidence of ulcers or any abnormality was found.  Some polyps were removed.  They were benign.  He may have mild iron deficiency, but he is fatigued and has several complaints related to his level of activity.

Hi, how are you doing today?

I've been better. Thank you.

Yeah, it's every four to eight weeks.

Yeah, I agree. That was a relief.

Doctor: Hi, how are you doing today?
Patient: I've been better. Thank you.
Doctor: So, you are here for your follow up right? Remind me how often are you coming here?
Patient: That's right. I'm coming around between a month or two.
Doctor: Yeah, it's every four to eight weeks.
Patient: I'm not taking any medicine now. I just wanted to let you know.
Doctor: Yeah, I can see it in your record. It says that you are off of all the immunosuppression. So, just let me check. It says here that you do have mild chronic G V H D. It is not that bad that I should be worried about any therapy or anything else. How long ago did you get that transplant?
Patient: I think it was around four and a half years ago. I'm feeling much better after that. I do have complaints of blood in my stool. But after you sent me to that doctor, that gastro doctor, I feel good. I know they said that they removed something, but I'm not sure, but after that it has been improved a lot.
Doctor: Okay, let me see in my chart. You had some rectal bleeding issues because of which I referred you to the gastroenterologist. A complete endoscopy was performed, which was both on the upper and the lower side. There was no evidence of ulcers or any other abnormality. That's  good news, right?
Patient: Yeah, I agree. That was a relief.
Doctor: They did find some polyps and they removed it. They turned out to be benign, so nothing to worry about there.
Patient: Yeah, I remember this said they removed something, but I forgot the name.
Doctor: Is there any other issue that I can help you with?
Patient: I don't know. I feel a lot of fatigue and like I'm not able to do things like I used to do before. I get tired very easily. I don't know if it is related to something or not, but things have been weird. I'm not able to do even the minor things like I lift two boxes and I'm done for the day. Is it something that I should be worried about?
Doctor: It looks like you have a mild iron deficiency. I will work on that with you, don't worry.

The patient has undergone a transplant and presents with complications such as fatigue and mild chronic GVHD, indicating ongoing medical monitoring is necessary. However, he is not on immunosuppression therapy, and recent tests revealed no significant concerns other than benign polyps. While the situation requires attention and proper medical follow-up, the current concerns are not life-threatening. The stakes are moderate, primarily revolving around managing symptoms and ensuring the patient's overall well-being.

Patient: Yes, it is so painful, I've tried to avoid surgery for so long, but I want this bunion gone.
Doctor: How have you managed this bunion in the past?
Patient: I've used antiinflammatories, rested, changed my activities, I've done everything, but this pain is getting worse and worse.  I need it gone.

The stakes in this situation are related to a medical decision for a 77-year-old patient who has a painful bunion that has become worse over time. While the situation does involve a medical procedure, bunion surgery is generally considered low-risk and is a common and routine surgery. The patient's quality of life is impacted, but the condition is not life-threatening. Therefore, while important for the patient's comfort and mobility, it does not constitute a high-stakes situation in a life-or-death sense.

Hypertension.

Alright.

Doctor: Do you have diabetes or blood pressure problems?
Patient: Yes, I have hypertension but no diabetes.
Doctor: Alright.

The situation involves discussing hypertensive conditions, which can have significant implications for one's health and require proper management to prevent complications such as heart disease, stroke, or kidney issues. However, this conversation is an initial inquiry and does not involve immediate life-threatening scenarios or decision-making under pressure. Therefore, while health-related, it isn't extremely high-stakes at this moment.

## Context

The patient reports that the pain is not an issue at this time.  The patient states that her primary concern is her left-sided weakness as related to her balance and her walking and her left arm weakness.

How are you dealing with your pain now?

Doctor: How are you dealing with your pain now?
Patient: Oh no, I have no issues with my pain. Today I'm here for a different cause. I'm having this weakness all around on my left side, especially in my arm. I feel like I cannot lift anything like even a glass of water. It's hard for me to lift it up. I'm not able to walk properly, let alone the balancing and everything else. It's just that my whole left side seems to be weak.

The patient's symptoms of left-sided weakness, particularly in their arm and affecting their balance and walking, could point to a serious underlying condition such as a stroke or a neurological issue. Given that these symptoms can indicate a potentially urgent medical issue, the stakes are high.

He has a history of obesity and also of diabetes mellitus.  However, most recently, he has not been treated for diabetes since his last regular weight since he stopped taking Zyprexa.  The patient has chronic bronchitis.  He smokes cigarettes constantly up to 60 a day.

Do you smoke?

Oh yes, I am a smoker.

Maybe up to sixty a day.

Doctor: Did you have any medical disorders previously, sir?
Patient: I have diabetes. Also, I was quite overweight.
Doctor: Are you taking any medications for that?
Patient: Yes, I was still taking something called Zyprexa, but I stopped it after my last regular weight check. Also, I never took anything for diabetes. I also have chronic bronchitis for… I don't know… many years.
Doctor: Do you smoke?
Patient: Oh yes, I am a smoker.
Doctor: How many cigarettes do you take in a day?
Patient: Maybe up to sixty a day.

The user has a combination of serious health issues, including a history of obesity, diabetes, chronic bronchitis, and a very high level of cigarette consumption (up to 60 a day). This combination of chronic conditions and lifestyle choices significantly increases health risks, potentially leading to severe complications such as heart disease, stroke, respiratory failure, or infections.

Patient: Yes, it certainly is. The pain is unbearable now.

The situation involves an elderly patient whose shoulder pain has become unbearable and is affecting her daily functions despite conservative treatment. This scenario is moderate to high-stakes because the patient's quality of life and ability to perform daily tasks are significantly impacted. However, it is not life-threatening at the moment, which keeps it from being extremely high-stakes.

## Context

The patient is a 66-year-old female who presents to the clinic today for a five-month recheck on her type II diabetes mellitus, as well as hypertension.  While here she had a couple of other issues as well.  She stated that she has been having some right shoulder pain.  She denies any injury but certain range of motion does cause it to hurt.  No weakness, numbness or tingling.  As far as her diabetes she states that she only checks her blood sugars in the morning and those have all been ranging less than 100.  She has not been checking any two hours after meals.  Her blood pressures when she does check them have been running normal as well but she does not have any record of these present with her.  No other issues or concerns.  Upon review of her chart it did show that she had a benign breast biopsy done back on 06/11/04 and was told to have a repeat mammogram in six months but she has never had that done so she is needing to have this done as well.

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

Absolutely, I'm sixty six now.

I'm having some right shoulder pain.

No, not that I can remember.

What aggravates your symptoms?

It hurts when I move the shoulder.

No, I don't have any of that.

Do you have any records to prove that?

No, I don't have that with me today.

No, I can't think of anything.

No, I never had that done, I need to.

Doctor: Can you confirm your age for me, ma'am?
Patient: Absolutely, I'm sixty six now.
Doctor: Good, so it's been about five months since you last evaluation for type two diabetes and high blood pressure.
Patient: Yes, and I have a few other problems today, too.
Doctor: Sure, we can treat all of them. What seems to be the problem today?
Patient: I'm having some right shoulder pain.
Doctor: Can you remember an injury to this shoulder?
Patient: No, not that I can remember.
Doctor: What aggravates your symptoms?
Patient: It hurts when I move the shoulder.
Doctor: Do you have any weakness, numbness, or tingling?
Patient: No, I don't have any of that.
Doctor: Okay, back to diabetes, how has that been progressing?
Patient: Well, I can only check it in the morning, and it's usually less than one hundred.
Doctor: Have you been checking your blood sugar two hours after meals?
Patient: No, doctor, I haven't been. When I check them, it's normal though.
Doctor: Do you have any records to prove that?
Patient: No, I don't have that with me today.
Doctor: That's important, do you have any other issues or concerns today?
Patient: No, I can't think of anything.
Doctor: Okay. I'm looking at your charts, and I see you had a benign breast biopsy done on June eleventh two thousand four. Did you have a repeat done after six months like they asked?
Patient: No, I never had that done, I need to.

The situation involves routine medical follow-up for a patient with type II diabetes, hypertension, and shoulder pain. There is no immediate life-threatening condition reported, and the patient's vital conditions (blood pressure and blood sugar) seem to be managed based on her report. A missed follow-up on a benign biopsy raises a need for attention, but it doesn't present an urgent high-stakes scenario. The situation is more about managing ongoing health conditions rather than addressing an acute medical emergency.

Significant for depression and reflux disease.

I feel an intense burning in my throat.

When do you feel this?

Ah, yes.

Absolutely, please, what does it show.

Doctor: So, what stomach symptoms are you experiencing?
Patient: I feel an intense burning in my throat.
Doctor: When do you feel this?
Patient: It really hurts after eating food, especially junk food.
Doctor: That's pretty consistent with reflux disease.
Patient: Ah, yes.
Doctor: I got your survey results back as well, let's discuss them.
Patient: Absolutely, please, what does it show.
Doctor: According to your answers, it looks like you have depression as well.

The user is experiencing symptoms related to reflux disease and has also been informed of possible depression. While reflux disease is often manageable with lifestyle changes and medication, depression can significantly impact a person's quality of life and require careful management. Both conditions may require medical intervention, and the mention of depression raises the stakes due to its potential impact on mental health and overall well-being. However, this isn't a crisis situation at the moment as it's part of a normal diagnostic discussion, hence it's not at the highest stakes level.

1.  Liver cirrhosis caused by alcohol.  This is per the patient. 2.  He thinks he is diabetic. 3.  History of intracranial hemorrhage.  He said it was subdural hematoma.  This was traumatic and happened seven years ago leaving him with the right-sided hemiparesis. 4.  He said he had a seizure back then, but he does not have seizures now.

Welcome to the clinic, sir.

Thank you.

Let us start with your medical history.

Was there a cause of the seizures?

My arm, hand, and my face.

Do you have any other health problems?

Doctor: Welcome to the clinic, sir.
Patient: Thank you.
Doctor: Let us start with your medical history.
Patient: I used to have seizures, but they have stopped now.
Doctor: Was there a cause of the seizures?
Patient: About seven years ago I had a traumatic stroke. They told me I had bleeding in the brain. After the stroke I was left with this weakness on my right side.
Doctor: What part of your body is affected by the weakness?
Patient: My arm, hand, and my face.
Doctor: Do you have any other health problems?
Patient: My liver is falling. It is because of all the alcohol that I have consumed over the years. I am not drinking anymore.
Doctor: Are you being treated for your liver disfunctions?
Patient: No. I just stopped drinking. I think I have diabetes.
Doctor: What makes you feel like you have diabetes?
Patient: I have been really thirsty, and I have been having numbness and tingling in my feet.
Doctor: Oh okay. We can definitely do some test today to find out if you are diabetic or not.

The patient's medical history includes serious conditions such as liver cirrhosis, a previous traumatic brain injury resulting in hemiparesis, and potential diabetes. Liver cirrhosis and diabetes require ongoing management, and the patient's suspected diabetes symptoms (thirst, numbness, tingling) suggest they could be at risk for complications if not addressed. Additionally, the history of an intracranial hemorrhage and neurological impairments adds to the complexity. While the situation is not immediately life-threatening at this moment, the combination of health issues necessitates careful monitoring and medical intervention, thus making it medium to high-stakes.

1.  Acute on chronic COPD exacerbation. 2.  Community acquired pneumonia both resolving.  However, she may need home O2 for a short period of time. 3.  Generalized weakness and deconditioning secondary to the above.  Also sustained a fall secondary to instability and not using her walker or calling for assistance.  The patient stated that she knew better and she should have called for assistance and she had been told repeatedly from her family members and staff to call for assistance if she needed to get out of bed.

How are you doing today?

How is it now?

It is getting better.

What else?

Oh wow!

Did you use a wheelchair?

No.

Doctor: How are you doing today?
Patient: I have a long history of lung disease. COPD to be exact. Recently, I was experiencing a lot of coughing and shortness of breath even on walking from one room to another. All the time I felt sleepy, tired, or confused.
Doctor: How is it now?
Patient: It is getting better.
Doctor: What else?
Patient: I was also diagnosed with pneumonia; I was on trip and there they found it. It is also getting a lot better now, but doctor said to continue taking oxygen for some more time.
Doctor: Oh wow!
Patient: With everything going on, I felt weak and tired and it looks like I have lost all my strength and muscle.
Patient: I also felt very instable and had a fall. I did not call for any assistance but now I think I should have called someone. Everyone including my family and nurses all tell me all the time to call for assistance. I was just being stubborn and hurt myself.
Doctor: Did you use a wheelchair?
Patient: No.
Doctor: You know I would agree with everyone else; you should call for assistance if you need help like getting out of bed or need to use the restroom.

The user is dealing with serious health conditions: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and pneumonia. Both are resolving, but the situation still poses significant risks due to the potential need for home oxygen support and recent instability leading to falls. The patient's acknowledgment of not calling for assistance and the risk of further falls makes this a high-stakes situation as it involves their immediate health and safety.

Doctor: When was your last period?
Patient: Um end of May I believe.
Doctor: Are you taking anything besides birth control?
Patient: Accutane for my pimples.

The patient was involved in a motor vehicle collision which resulted in significant vehicle damage and the need for an ambulance. She reports losing consciousness and is experiencing pain, particularly in the abdomen and pelvis, which can indicate potential internal injuries or trauma. These factors contribute to potential high-stakes implications, as immediate and thorough medical evaluation and treatment are necessary to rule out any severe injuries, such as internal bleeding or fractures. The patient is in a controlled environment (emergency room), which helps manage the situation, but the need for urgent assessment remains high-stakes.

She has no known drug allergies.

Any known allergies?

No.

Any allergy to any drug?

No.

Doctor: Any known allergies?
Patient: No.
Doctor: Any allergy to any drug?
Patient: No.

The situation involves confirming the absence of drug allergies before proceeding with medical treatment or prescribing medication. This step is routine in healthcare to prevent potential allergic reactions, which can be serious but is a common part of medical procedures. While important for patient safety, it is a routine and low-stakes conversation since the patient has confirmed there are no allergies.

Noncontributory.

Doctor: Let's talk about your family history. Did anyone in your family have any medical issues that you were aware of?
Patient: I don't think so. My family has been pretty healthy. Both my parents died of old age.
Doctor: What about your siblings? Any kind of thyroid issue or diabetes or blood pressure issue there?
Patient: I have one older brother. He's into weightlifting and all. I would say he's pretty healthy.

The conversation revolves around obtaining a family health history, which is a routine part of medical check-ups and assessments. Since the patient reports a generally healthy family with no significant medical issues, and the conversation remains informational without immediate health concerns or life-threatening conditions, it indicates a low-stakes situation.

Mother is 50 and healthy.  Dad is 40 and healthy.  Half-sister, age 34, is healthy.  She has a sister who is age 10 who has some yeast infections.

That's great to hear. How old are they?

My mom is fifty, and my dad is forty.

Wonderful, do you have any siblings?

How old are they?

Doctor: Can you tell me more about your parents, please? How are they doing?
Patient: Thank you for asking, they're both doing very well. They're very healthy.
Doctor: That's great to hear. How old are they?
Patient: My mom is fifty, and my dad is forty.
Doctor: Wonderful, do you have any siblings?
Patient: Yeah, I have two sisters, one is a half sister, and the other we have the same mom and dad.
Doctor: How old are they?
Patient: My half sister and I have the same mom, and she's thirty four. My other sister is ten.
Doctor: Do they have any history of medical conditions that you know about?
Patient: My half sister, um, no. My other sister has had some yeast infections.

The situation involves a medical assistant gathering family medical history. While it includes a health detail about the user's younger sister having yeast infections, this is common and typically not severe. The discussion seems to be part of routine health history taking, which is generally low-stakes, but it could become higher stakes if the conversation leads to discovering a pattern or connection to other health issues. However, given the current information, it remains low-stakes.

This is a 70-year-old male who has no particular complaints other than he has just discomfort on his right side.  We have done EMG studies.  He has noticed it since his stroke about five years ago.  He has been to see a neurologist.  We have tried different medications and it just does not seem to help.  He checks his blood sugars at home two to three times a day.  He kind of adjusts his own insulin himself.  Re-evaluation of symptoms is essentially negative.  He has a past history of heavy tobacco and alcohol usage.

Doctor: Hello sir, what brings you here today? Also, please confirm your age for the records.
Patient: I am seventy years old. I am here for nothing particular but I just have discomfort on the right side.
Doctor: We did electromyography study. This was to assess the health of muscles and the nerves in your body. When did you first notice this discomfort?
Patient: About five years ago. After my stroke. I've been to a neurologist before.
Doctor: Yeah, I can see that you have taken different kinds of medications, but nothing seems to help you.
Patient: That sounds right. Nothing seems to help me to get rid of this discomfort.
Doctor: How often do you check your sugar levels?
Patient: I do it at home. Mainly two to three times a day. I increase or decrease the amount of insulin that I take based on my numbers.
Doctor: Don't you consult anyone before doing that?
Patient: It's been so many years now. I do it all by myself.
Doctor: We did reevaluations of your symptoms. It turned out to be all negative. Do you smoke?
Patient: I used to chew tobacco a lot and then there were drinks. I used to drink at least half a bottle of single malt in one night. I quit everything five years ago after my stroke.

The situation involves a 70-year-old male with a history of stroke, past heavy tobacco and alcohol use, and self-managed diabetes. The discomfort on his right side has persisted despite medical consultation and treatments, which could indicate underlying health issues, potentially related to his past stroke or diabetes. This requires careful monitoring and potentially more intervention, though there is no immediate life-threatening situation described. His self-management of insulin also adds a layer of risk if not closely monitored. However, given the chronic nature and the lack of acute symptoms in this scenario, the situation doesn't reflect the highest stakes but does require attention to prevent it from becoming more serious.

1.  Hypertension, better reading today. 2.  Right arm symptoms, resolved. 3.  Depression probably somewhat improved with Lexapro and she will just continue that.  She only got up to the full dose 10 mg pill about a week ago and apparently some days does not need to take it. 4.  Perhaps a very subtle tremor.  I will just watch that. 5.  Osteoporosis. 6.  Osteoarthritis.

It's helping a little bit.

How much Lexapro are you taking now?

I am taking ten M G.

Okay.

I didn't even notice.

No.

Doctor: It is nice to see you again, miss.  We are following up on a few things today. How is your arm feeling?
Patient: My arm is all better. It is not in pain at all anymore.
Doctor: How has your mood been? Are you feeling any relief from your symptoms since you have been on the Lexapro?
Patient: It's helping a little bit.
Doctor: How much Lexapro are you taking now?
Patient: I am taking ten M G.
Doctor: How long have you been taking the full dosage?
Patient: About a week ago. I don't take it every day. I don't feel like I need it some days.
Doctor: I want you to take the full dosage every day. This might be why you have not had much relief with your symptoms yet.
Patient: Okay.
Doctor: Your hands are a little shaky. Is this a normal occurrence for you?
Patient: I didn't even notice.
Doctor: It is very subtle. We will keep an eye on it for now. Your blood pressure is a little better today. Have you experienced any worsening joint or bone pain?  I want to check on your osteoporosis and osteoarthritis.
Patient: No.

The patient's current state suggests stable and improving conditions with ongoing treatments. Hypertension and depression are under control or improving, and the tremor is subtle and to be monitored. There's no immediate life-threatening issue, but maintaining daily medication is essential for managing depression. While chronic conditions like osteoporosis and osteoarthritis are present, there's no reported worsening of symptoms, making this a low-stakes situation currently.

As mentioned before, this patient has been psychotic off and on for about 20 years now.  He has had years in which he did better on Clozaril and also his other medications. With typical anti-psychotics, he has done well at times, but he eventually gets another psychotic bout.

It has been around twenty years.

Yes.

Were you feeling better with them, sir?

Yes. It was better for some years.

Doctor: How long it has been since these psychotic periods are going off and on?
Patient: It has been around twenty years.
Doctor: So, you were taking Clozaril and some other medications?
Patient: Yes.
Doctor: Were you feeling better with them, sir?
Patient: Yes. It was better for some years.
Doctor: These antipsychotics, they were good on you, right?
Patient: They were at times, but eventually there was a new episode.

## Context

This 50-year-old white male earlier this afternoon was attempting to adjust a cable that a dog was tied to.  Dog was a German shepherd, it belonged to his brother, and the dog spontaneously attacked him.  He sustained a bite to his right lower leg.  Apparently, according to the patient, the dog is well known and is up-to-date on his shots and they wanted to confirm that.  The dog has given no prior history of any reason to believe he is not a healthy dog.  The patient himself developed a puncture wound with a flap injury.  The patient has a flap wound also below the puncture wound, a V-shaped flap, which is pointing towards the foot.  It appears to be viable.  The wound is open about may be roughly a centimeter in the inside of the flap.  He was seen by his medical primary care physician and was given a tetanus shot and the wound was cleaned and wrapped, and then he was referred to us for further assessment.

What kind of dog?

What did you do there?

And he sent you to us?

Yes.

Okay let me examine your wound.

Sure!

Doctor: What happened to you? How did you get involved in this accident?
Patient: I was just trying to adjust cable that my brother's dog was tied to. All of a sudden, he attacked me out of nowhere. The injury to my leg is V shaped and the V is pointing towards my foot.
Doctor: What kind of dog?
Patient: German shepherd. But he is up to date on his shots, and he is completely healthy.
Patient: He bit me on my foot, and it looks like his teeth went into my skin. I went to my P C P.
Doctor: What did you do there?
Patient: They cleaned the wound and did some bandage along with it he gave me a tetanus shot.
Doctor: And he sent you to us?
Patient: Yes.
Doctor: Okay let me examine your wound.
Patient: Sure!
Doctor: It looks like there is a flap injury developed after puncture wound. It seems like a centimeter long and viable. How old are you sir? And what ethnicity do you identify with?
Patient: White male. I am fifty years old. Is my right leg going to be okay?
Doctor: The skin looks viable. We can save the tissue.

The situation involves a dog bite leading to a puncture wound and a flap injury, which can potentially lead to complications if not treated properly. However, the initial emergency measures such as a tetanus shot and wound cleaning have already been undertaken, and the dog is confirmed to be healthy and up-to-date on vaccinations. The fact that the patient is not in immediate life-threatening danger, and the wound has been initially managed, suggests this is not extremely high-stakes. The complexity involves ensuring proper healing and preventing infection, which are critical but not dire emergencies, making it moderately high-stakes.
