[doctor] hi , martha . how are you ?
[patient] i'm doing okay . how are you ?
[doctor] i'm doing okay . so , i know the nurse told you about dax . i'd like to tell dax a little bit about you , okay ?
[patient] okay .
[doctor] martha is a 50-year-old female with a past medical history significant for congestive heart failure , depression and hypertension who presents for her annual exam . so , martha , it's been a year since i've seen you . how are you doing ?
[patient] i'm doing well . i've been traveling a lot recently since things have , have gotten a bit lighter . and i got my , my vaccine , so i feel safer about traveling . i've been doing a lot of hiking . uh , went to washington last weekend to hike in northern cascades, like around the mount baker area .
[doctor] nice . that's great . i'm glad to hear that you're staying active , you know . i , i just love this weather . i'm so happy the summer is over . i'm definitely more of a fall person .
[patient] yes , fall foliage is the best .
[doctor] yeah . um , so tell me , how are you doing with the congestive heart failure ? how are you doing watching your diet ? i know we've talked about watching a low sodium diet . are you doing okay with that ?
[patient] i've been doing well with that . i resisted , as much , as i could , from the tater tots , you know , the soft pretzels , the salty foods that i , i love to eat . and i've been doing a really good job .
[doctor] okay , all right . well , i'm glad to hear that . and you're taking your medication ?
[patient] yes .
[doctor] okay , good . and any symptoms like chest pains , shortness of breath , any swelling in your legs ?
[patient] no , not that i've noticed .
[doctor] okay , all right . and then in terms of your depression , i know that we tried to stay off of medication in the past because you're on medications for your other problems . how are you doing ? and i know that you enrolled into therapy . is that helping ? or-
[patient] yeah , it's been helping a lot . i've been going every week , um , for the past year since my last annual exam . and that's been really helpful for me .
[doctor] okay . so , no , no issues , no feelings of wanting to harm yourself or hurt others ?
[patient] no , nothing like that .
[doctor] okay , all right . and then in terms of your high blood pressure , i know that you and i have kind of battled in the past with you remembering to take some of your blood pressure medications . how are you doing with that ?
[patient] i'm still forgetting to take my blood pressure medication . and i've noticed when work gets more stressful , my blood pressure goes up .
[doctor] okay . and , and so how has work going for you ?
[patient] it's been okay . it's been a lot of long hours , late nights . a lot of , um , you know , fiscal year end data that i've been having to pull . so , a lot of responsibility , which is good . but with the responsibility comes the stress .
[doctor] yeah , okay , all right . i understand . um , all right . well , i know that you did a review of system sheet when you checked in with the nurse . i know that you were endorsing some nasal congestion from some of the fall pollen and allergies . any other symptoms , nausea or vomiting , abdominal pain , anything like that ?
[patient] no , nothing like that .
[doctor] no , okay , all right . well , i'm gon na go ahead and do a quick physical exam , okay ?
[patient] okay .
[doctor] hey , dragon , show me the blood pressure . so , yeah , looking at your blood pressure today here in the office , it is a little elevated . you know , it could just , you could just be nervous . uh , let's look at some of the past readings . hey , dragon , show me the blood pressure readings . hey , dragon , show me the blood pressure readings . here we go . uh , so they are running on the higher side . um , y- you know , i , i do think that , you know , i'd like to see you take your medication a little bit more , so that we can get that under control a little bit better , okay ?
[patient] okay .
[doctor] so , i'm just gon na check out your heart and your lungs . and you know , let you know what i find , okay ?
[patient] okay .
[doctor] okay . so , on your physical examination , you know , everything looks good . on your heart exam , i do appreciate a three out of six systolic ejection murmur , which i've heard in the past , okay ? and on your lower extremities , i do appreciate one plus pitting edema , so you do have a little bit of fluid in your legs , okay ?
[patient] okay .
[doctor] let's go ahead , i wan na look at some of your results , okay ? hey , dragon , show me the echocardiogram . so , this is the result of the echocardiogram that we did last year . it showed that you have that low-ish pumping function of your heart at about 45 % . and it also sh- shows some mitral regurgitation , that's that heart murmur that i heard , okay ?
[doctor] um , hey , dragon , show me the lipid panel . so , looking at your lipid panel from last year , you know , everything , your cholesterol was like , a tiny bit high . but it was n't too , too bad , so i know you're trying to watch your diet . so , we'll repeat another one this year , okay ?
[patient] okay .
[doctor] um , so i wan na just go over a little bit about my assessment and my plan for you , okay ? so , for your first problem your congestive heart failure , um , i wan na continue you on your current medications . but i do wan na increase your lisinopril to 40 milligrams a day , just because your blood pressure's high . and you know , you are retaining a little bit of fluid . i also wan na start you on some lasix , you know , 20 milligrams a day . and have you continue to watch your , your diet , okay ?
[patient] okay .
[doctor] i also wan na repeat another echocardiogram , okay ?
[patient] all right .
[doctor] hey , dragon , order an echocardiogram . from a depression standpoint , it sounds like you're doing really well with that . so , i'm , i'm really happy for you . i'm , i'm glad to see that you're in therapy and you're doing really well . i do n't feel the need to start you on any medications this year , unless you feel differently .
[patient] no , i feel the same way .
[doctor] okay , all right . and then for your last problem your hypertension , you know , again i , i , i think it's out of control . but we'll see , i think , you know , i'd like to see you take the lisinopril as directed , okay ? uh , i want you to record your blood pressures within the patient , you know , take your blood pressure every day . record them to me for like , about a week , so i have to see if we have to add another agent , okay ? 'cause we need to get that under better control for your heart failure to be more successful , okay ?
[patient] okay .
[doctor] do you have any questions ? , and i forgot . for your annual exam , you're due for a mammogram , so we have to schedule for that , as well , okay ?
[patient] okay .
[doctor] okay . do you have any questions ?
[patient] can i take all my pills at the same time ?
[doctor] yeah .
[patient] 'cause i've been trying to take them at different times of the day , 'cause i did n't know if it was bad to take them all at once or i should separate them . i do n't know .
[doctor] yeah . you can certainly take them , you know , all at the same time , as long , as yeah , they're all one scale . you can take them all at the same time . just set an alarm-
[patient] okay .
[doctor] . some time during the day to take them , okay ?
[patient] that might help me remember better .
[doctor] all right . that sounds good . all right , well , it's good to see you .
[patient] good seeing you too .
[doctor] hey , dragon , finalize the note .

[patient] uh , so , over the the weekend , we've been moving boxes up and down our basements stairs , and by the end of the day my knees were just killing me .
[doctor] okay . is , is one knee worse than the other ?
[patient] equally painful .
[doctor] okay .
[patient] both of them .
[doctor] and did you , did you injure one of them ?
[patient] um , uh , i've had some knee problems in the past but i think it was just the repetition and the weight of the boxes .
[doctor] okay . all right . and , and what have you taken for the pain ?
[patient] a little tylenol . i iced them for a bit . nothing really seemed to help , though .
[doctor] okay . all right . um , and does it prevent you from doing , like , your activities of daily living , like walking and exercising and things like that ?
[patient] uh , saturday night it actually kept me up for a bit . they were pretty sore .
[doctor] mm-hmm . okay . and any other symptoms like fever or chills ?
[patient] no .
[doctor] joint pain ... i mean , like muscle aches ?
[patient] no .
[doctor] nausea , vomiting , diarrhea ?
[patient] no .
[doctor] anything like that ?
[patient] no .
[doctor] okay . all right . now , i know that you've had the kidney transplant a few years ago for some polycystic kidneys .
[patient] mm-hmm .
[doctor] um , how are you doing with that ? i know that you told dr. gutierrez-
[patient] mm .
[doctor] . a couple of weeks ago .
[patient] yes .
[doctor] everything's okay ?
[patient] so far , so good .
[doctor] all right . and you're taking your immunosuppressive medications ?
[patient] yes , i am .
[doctor] okay . all right . um , and did they have anything to say ? i have n't gotten any reports from them , so ...
[patient] no , n- nothing out of the ordinary , from what they reported .
[doctor] okay . all right . um , and in terms of your hyperthyroidism , how are you doing with the synthroid ? are you doing okay ?
[patient] uh , yes , i am .
[doctor] you're taking it regularly ?
[patient] on the clock , yes .
[doctor] yes . okay . and any fatigue ? weight gain ? anything like that that you've noticed ?
[patient] no , nothing out of the ordinary .
[doctor] okay . and just in general , you know , i know that we've kind of battled with your arthritis .
[patient] mm-hmm .
[doctor] you know , it's hard because you ca n't take certain medications 'cause of your kidney transplant .
[patient] sure .
[doctor] so other than your knees , any other joint pain or anything like that ?
[patient] every once in a while , my elbow , but nothing , nothing out of the ordinary .
[doctor] okay . all right . now i know the nurse did a review of systems sheet when you checked in . any other symptoms i might have missed ?
[patient] no .
[doctor] no headaches ?
[patient] no headaches .
[doctor] anything like that w- ... okay . all right . well , i wan na go ahead and do a quick physical exam , all right ? hey , dragon , show me the vital signs . so here in the office , your vital signs look good . you do n't have a fever , which is good .
[patient] mm-hmm .
[doctor] your heart rate and your , uh , blood pressure look fine . i'm just gon na check some things out , and i'll let you know what i find , okay ?
[patient] perfect .
[doctor] all right . does that hurt ?
[patient] a little bit . that's tender .
[doctor] okay , so on physical examination , on your heart exam , i do appreciate a little two out of six systolic ejection murmur-
[patient] mm-hmm .
[doctor] . which we've heard in the past . okay , so that seems stable . on your knee exam , there is some edema and some erythema of your right knee , but your left knee looks fine , okay ? um , you do have some pain to palpation of the right knee and some decreased range of motion , um , on exam , okay ? so what does that mean ? so we'll go ahead and we'll see if we can take a look at some of these things . i know that they did an x-ray before you came in , okay ?
[patient] mm-hmm .
[doctor] so let's take a look at that .
[patient] sure .
[doctor] hey , dragon , show me the right knee x-ray . so here's the r- here's your right knee x-ray . this basically shows that there's good bony alignment . there's no acute fracture , which is not surprising , based on the history .
[patient] mm-hmm .
[doctor] okay ? hey , dragon , show me the labs . and here , looking at your lab results , you know , your white blood cell count is not elevated , which is good . you know , we get concerned about that in somebody who's immunocompromised .
[patient] mm-hmm .
[doctor] and it looks like your kidney function is also very good . so i'm , i'm very happy about that .
[patient] yeah .
[doctor] okay ? so i just wan na go over a little bit about my assessment and my plan for you .
[patient] mm-hmm .
[doctor] so for your knee pain , i think that this is an acute exacerbation of your arthritis , okay ? so i wan na go ahead and if ... and prescribe some ultram 50 milligrams every six hours as needed .
[patient] okay .
[doctor] okay ? i also wan na go ahead and just order an autoimmune panel , okay ? hey , dragon , order an autoimmune panel . and you know , i , i want , i want you to just take it easy for right now , and if your symptoms continue , we'll talk about further imaging and possibly referral to physical therapy , okay ?
[patient] you got it .
[doctor] for your second problem , your hypothyroidism , i wan na go ahead and continue you on this ... on the synthroid , and i wan na go ahead and order some thyroid labs , okay ?
[patient] sure .
[doctor] hey , dragon , order a thyroid panel . and then for your last problem , the arthritis , you know , we just kinda talked about that . you know , it's gon na be a struggle for you because again , you ca n't take some of those anti-inflammatory medications because of your kidney transplant , so ...
[patient] mm-hmm .
[doctor] you know , let's see how we do over the next couple weeks , and again , we'll refer you to physical therapy if we need to , okay ?
[patient] you got it .
[doctor] you have any questions ?

[doctor] hi , john . how are you ?
[patient] hey . well , relatively speaking , okay . good to see you .
[doctor] good to see you as well . so i know the nurse told you about dax . i'm gon na tell dax a little bit about you .
[patient] okay .
[doctor] so john is a 61-year-old male with a past medical history significant for kidney stones , migraines and reflux , who presents with some back pain . so john , what's going on with your back ?
[patient] uh , i'm feeling a lot of the same pain that i had when i had kidney stones about two years ago , so i'm a little concerned .
[doctor] yeah . and so wh- what side of your back is it on ?
[patient] uh , honestly , it shifts . it started from the right side and it kinda moved over , and now i feel it in the left side of my back .
[doctor] okay . and , um , how many days has this been going on for ?
[patient] the last four days .
[doctor] okay . and is ... is the pain coming and going ?
[patient] um , at first it was coming and going , and then for about the last 48 hours , it's been a constant , and it's ... it's been pretty bad .
[doctor] okay . and what have you taken for the pain ?
[patient] tylenol , but it really does n't seem to help .
[doctor] yeah . okay . and do you have any blood in your urine ?
[patient] um , uh , it ... i think i do . it's kind of hard to detect , but it does look a little off-color .
[doctor] okay . all right . um , and have you had , uh , any other symptoms like nausea and vomiting ?
[patient] um , if i'm doing something i'm ... i'm , uh , like exerting myself , like climbing the three flights of stairs to my apartment or running to catch the bus , i feel a little dizzy and a little light headed , and i ... i still feel a little bit more pain in my abdomen .
[doctor] okay . all right . um , so let- let's talk a little bit about your ... your migraines . how are you doing with those ? i know we started you on the imitrex a couple months ago .
[patient] i've been pretty diligent about taking the meds . i ... i wan na make sure i stay on top of that , so i've been pretty good with that .
[doctor] okay , so no issues with the migraine ?
[patient] none whatsoever .
[doctor] okay . and how about your ... your acid reflux ? how are you doing with ... i know you were making some diet changes .
[patient] yeah , i've been pretty good with the diet , but with the pain i have been having, it has been easier to call and have something delivered. so i have been ordering a lot of take-out and fast food that can be delivered to my door so i don't have to go out and up and down the steps to get it myself. but other than that , it's been pretty good .
[doctor] okay . are you staying hydrated ?
[patient] yes .
[doctor] okay . all right . okay , well , let's go ahead and , uh , i know the nurse did a review of systems , you know , with you , and i know that you're endorsing some back pain and a little bit of dizziness , um , and some blood in your urine . any other symptoms ? you know , muscle aches , chest pain ... uh , body aches , anything like that ?
[patient] i have some body aches because i think i'm ... i'm favoring , um , my back when i'm walking because of the pain , like i kinda feel it in my muscles , but not out of the ordinary and not surprised 'cause i remember that from two years ago .
[doctor] okay . all right . well , let's go ahead and ... and look at your vital signs today . hey , dragon ? show me the blood pressure . yeah , so your blood pressure's a little high today . that's probably because you're in some pain , um , but let ... let me just take a listen to your heart and lungs , and i'll let you know what i find , okay ?
[patient] sure .
[doctor] okay , so on ... on physical exam , you do have some , uh , cda tenderness on the right-hand side , meaning that you're tender when i ... when i pound on that .
[patient] mm-hmm .
[doctor] um , and your abdomen also feels a little tender . you have some tenderness of the palpation of the right lower quadrant , but other than that , your heart sounds nice and clear and your lungs are clear as well . so let's go ahead and take a look at some of your results , okay ?
[patient] sure .
[doctor] hey , dragon ? show me the creatinine . so we ... we drew a creatinine when you came in here because i was concerned about the kidney stones . it ... it is uh ... it is up slightly , which might suggest that you have a little bit of a obstruction there of one-
[patient] mm-hmm .
[doctor] . of the stones . okay ? hey , dragon . show me the abdominal x-rays . okay , and there might be a question of a ... uh , of a stone there lower down , uh , but we'll wait for the official read there . so the , uh , abdominal x-rays show a possible kidney stone , okay ?
[patient] okay .
[doctor] so let's talk a little bit about my assessment and plan for you . so , for your first problem , your back pain , i think you're having a recurrence of your kidney stones . so i wan na go ahead and order a ct scan without contrast of your abdomen and pelvis . okay ?
[patient] mm-hmm .
[doctor] and i'm also gon na order you some ultram 50 milligrams as needed every six hours for pain . does that sound okay ?
[patient] okay .
[doctor] hey , dragon ? order ultram 50 milligrams every six hours as needed for pain . and i want you to push fluids and strain your urine . i know that you're familiar with that .
[patient] yes , i am .
[doctor] for your next problem , for your migraines , let's continue you on the imitrex . and for your final problem , uh , for your reflux , uh , we have you on the protonix 40 milligrams a day . do you need a refill of that ?
[patient] actually , i do need a refill .
[doctor] okay . hey , dragon ? order a refill of protonix 40 milligrams daily . okay . so the nurse will be in soon , and she'll help you get the cat scan scheduled . and i'll be in touch with you in ... in a day or so .
[patient] perfect .
[doctor] if your symptoms worsen , just give me a call , okay ?
[patient] you got it .
[doctor] take care .
[patient] thank you .
[doctor] hey ... hey , dragon ? finalize the note .

[patient] mm-hmm .
[doctor] how are you doing with your diet ?

[doctor] okay . all right . um , and you're watching your blood sugars at home ?
[patient] mm-hmm . i monitor it regularly . not always, i can forget, , but i'm pretty good about my measuring it .
[doctor] okay . and you are still on your metformin ?
[patient] yes .
[doctor] okay . all right . all right . now , i know the nurse did a review of symptoms sheet when you checked in .
[patient] mm-hmm .
[doctor] i know that you were endorsing the back pain-
[patient] mm-hmm .
[doctor] . and maybe a little weakness in your right leg . um , any other symptoms ? i know we went through a lot .
[patient] no .
[doctor] okay . um , so , i wan na go ahead and move on to a physical exam , okay ?
[patient] mm-hmm .
[doctor] hey , dragon , show me the vital signs . so , here in the office , you know , your vital signs look great . they look completely normal , which , which is really good .
[patient] good .
[doctor] okay ? so , i'm just gon na check you out , and i'm gon na let you know what i find , okay ?
[patient] mm-hmm .
[doctor] lean up . okay . all right . so , on your physical exam , everything seems fine .
[patient] good .
[doctor] on your heart exam , i do appreciate a 2 out of 6 systolic ejection murmur , which we've heard in the past-
[patient] mm-hmm .
[doctor] . so that's stable .
[patient] okay .
[doctor] on your back exam , you do have some pain to palpation of the lumbar 5 or lumbar spine-
[patient] mm-hmm .
[doctor] at the level of l5 .
[patient] okay .
[doctor] you have , you know , decreased range of motion with flexion and extension , and , um , you have a positive straight leg raise . uh , for your strength , you do have a 4 out of 5 on your right and 5 out of 5 on your left .
[doctor] so , what does that mean ? what does all that mean ? so , that basically means that , you know , i , i think that you probably , you know , have injured your , your back with a muscle strain , but we're gon na look at some of your results , okay ?
[patient] okay , sure .
[doctor] hey , dragon , show me the back x-ray . so , in reviewing the results of your back x-ray , this is a normal x-ray of your lumbar spine . there's good boney alignment . i do n't see any abnormality there , which is not surprising based on the history , okay ?
[doctor] hey , dragon , show me the diabetic labs . and this is just ... i just wanted to check your last , uh , diabetic labs that we did on you . uh , it looks like your hemoglobin a1c has been a little high at 8 . i'd like to see that a little bit lower around 7 , okay ?
[patient] okay .
[doctor] um , so , let's just talk a little bit about my assessment and my plan for you . um , so , for your first problem , i think you have an acute lumbar , um , strain .
[patient] mm-hmm .
[doctor] and i wan na go ahead and prescribe meloxicam 15 milligrams once a day , and i'd like to refer you to physical therapy to kind of strengthen that area . now , if you're still having symptoms , i wan na go ahead and , uh , order an mri-
[patient] mm-hmm .
[doctor] . just to make sure that you do n't have any disc herniation or anything like that , okay ?
[patient] that's fine .

[doctor] hey , ms. hill . nice to see you .
[patient] hi , dr. james , good to see you .
[doctor] hey , dragon , i'm seeing ms. hill . she's a 41-year-old female , and what brings you in today ?
[patient] um , i am having a lot of pain at the end of my right middle finger .
[doctor] what did you do ?
[patient] a little embarrassing . um , i got rear-ended , slow motor , uh , vehicle accident , and i got really angry with the person who hit me , so i went to flip him the bird , but i was a little too enthusiastic .
[patient] and i hit the ceiling of the car .
[doctor] okay . when did this happen ?
[patient] uh , it was saturday , so about four , five days ago .
[doctor] five days ago . what were you doing ? were you , like , stopped at a stoplight ? a stop sign ?
[patient] yes . so i was stopped at a four-way stop , and it was not my turn to go . there were other cars going , and the person behind me just was n't watching . i think they were texting and rear-ended me .
[doctor] how much damage to your car ?
[patient] uh , not too much . the , the trunk crumpled up a little bit .
[doctor] okay . and no other injuries ? just the finger ?
[patient] just the middle finger .
[doctor] so you would've escaped this accident without any injuries ?
[patient] yes . uh , i'm not proud .
[doctor] okay . um , so four days of right middle finger pain-
[patient] yes .
[doctor] . after a motor vehicle accident .
[patient] yes .
[doctor] all right . um , let's look at your x-ray . hey , dragon , show me the last x-ray . so what i'm seeing here is on the tip of this middle finger , you actually have a fracture . so you have a distal phalanx fracture in the middle finger . very ...
[patient] great .
[doctor] very interesting . let me check it out . um , so does it hurt when i push right here ?
[patient] yes .
[doctor] and does that hurt ?
[patient] very much so .
[doctor] what about down here ?
[patient] no .
[doctor] okay . so generally , your exam is normal other than you've got tenderness over your distal phalanx of your right middle finger . um , so your diagnosis is distal phalanx fracture of the middle finger or the third finger . and i'm gon na put you on a little bit of pain medicine just to help , just , like , two days' worth . okay , so tramadol , 50 milligrams , every six hours as needed for pain . i'm gon na dispense eight of those .
[patient] okay .
[doctor] and then , um , i'm gon na put you in a finger splint and have you come back in two weeks to get a follow-up x-ray . any questions for me ?
[patient] yes . so i'm taking digoxin for afib . will the tramadol be okay with that ?
[doctor] it will be okay . so you have atrial fibrillation .
[patient] yes .
[doctor] you take digoxin .
all right . any other questions for me ?
[patient] no , that's it . thank you .
[doctor] you're welcome . hey , dragon , go ahead and finalize the recording , and , uh , come with me . we'll get you checked out .

[patient] yup . i'm walking about a mile , a mile and a half a day .
[doctor] okay . great . that's good . i'm glad to hear that . okay .

[patient] so , i started to make some dietary modifications . unfortunately , i have n't cut the stone out quite yet . um , i've still been having some episodes and , and throwing up in the mornings , um , things like that .
[doctor] you're throwing up in the morning ?
[patient] yup .

[patient] no .
[doctor] no ? okay . all right . well , i wan na go ahead and do a quick physical exam . okay ?
[doctor] hey , dragon , show me the vital signs . all right . well , your , your vital signs here look quite good . all right . so , i'm , i'm reassured by that . i'm just gon na check out your heart and lungs and your belly and , and l- let you know what i find , okay ?
[patient] okay .
[doctor] all right . so , on physical examination , you know , everything looks good . your heart sounds good . your lungs sound good . you know , on your abdominal exam , you do have some pain to your right upper quadrant when i press on it , um , and there's no rebound or guarding and there's no peritoneal signs and your right knee does show a little bit of , uh , an effusion there and there's , uh , some slight pain to palpation and some decreased range of motion .
[doctor] so what does that mean , you know ? that means that you have some findings on your belly exam that concern me about your gall bladder , okay ? so , we'll have to look into that and then , um , your right knee looks a little swollen , but you know , we know you have some arthritis there , okay ?
[patient] okay .
[doctor] let's take a look at some of your results . hey , dragon , show me the autoimmune panel . hey , dragon , show me the autoimmune labs .
[doctor] okay . so looking at your autoimmune panel here , you know , we sent that because , you know , you're young and you have , you know , arthritis and gout and that type of thing and everything seemed to be fine .
[patient] okay .
[doctor] hey , dragon , show me the right knee x-ray .
[doctor] so , looking here at your right knee x-ray , you know , there's no fracture or anything , but you know , it does show that you do have that residual arthritis there , um , that we're , you know , we're working on improving so that we do n't have to do some type of surgery or intervention , okay ?
[patient] okay .
[doctor] so let's talk a little bit about my assessment and plan for you , okay ? so , for your first problem , um , your reflux and your nausea and vomiting , uh , i wan na go ahead and get a right upper quadrant ultrasound to rule out any gallstones , okay ? um , and then i'm gon na check some labs on you . okay ?
[patient] okay .
[doctor] i want you to continue on the omeprazole , 40 milligrams , once a day and continue with those dietary modifications .
[doctor] um , for your second problem , your gout , um , you know , everything seems controlled right now . let's continue you on the allopurinol , 100 milligrams , once a day . um , do you need a refill of that ?
[patient] yes , i do actually .
[doctor] hey , dragon , order allopurinol , 100 milligrams , once daily .
[doctor] and then from your last problem , your arthritis , i'm very pleased with how your right knee is doing and i want you to continue pilates and using the knee and let me know if you have any issues and we can , and we can talk about further imaging or intervention at that time , okay ?
[patient] okay .

[doctor] okay . so sarah is a 27-year-old female here for her annual visit . so , sarah , how have you been since the last time i saw you ?
[patient] i've been doing better . um , i've been struggling with my depression , um , a bit more just because we've been trapped really inside and remotely over the past year , so i've been struggling , um , off and on with that .
[doctor] okay . uh , and from looking at the notes , it looks like we've had you on , uh , prozac 20 milligrams a day .
[patient] yes .
[doctor] are , are you taking that ?
[patient] i am taking it . i think it's just a lot has been weighing on me lately .
[doctor] okay . um , and do you feel like you need an increase in your dose , or do you ... what are you thinking ? do you think that you just need to deal with some stress or you wan na try a , a different , uh , medication or ...
[patient] i think the , the medication has helped me in the past , and maybe just increasing the dose might help me through this patch .
[doctor] okay . all right . and , and what else has been going on with you ? i know that you've had this chronic back pain that we've been dealing with . how's that , how's that going ?
[patient] uh , i've been managing it . it's still , um , here nor there . just , just keeps , um , it really bothers me when i sit for long periods of time at , at my desk at work . so i have ... it helps when i get up and move , but it gets really stiff and it hurts when i sit down for long periods of time .
[doctor] okay , and do you get any numbing or tingling down your legs or any pain down leg versus the other ?
[patient] a little bit of numbing , but nothing tingling or hurting down my legs .
[doctor] okay , and does the , um , do those symptoms improve when you stand up or change position ?
[patient] yeah , it does .
[doctor] okay . all right . and any weakness in , in your legs ?
[patient] no , no weakness , just , just the weird numbing . like , it's , like , almost like it's falling asleep on me .
[doctor] okay . and are you able to , um , do your activities of daily living ? do you exercise , go to the store , that type of thing ?
[patient] yeah , i am . it bothers me when i'm on my feet for too long and sitting too long , just the extremes of each end .
[doctor] okay . and i know that you've had a coronary artery bypass grafting at the young age of 27 , so how's that going ?
[patient] yeah , i had con- i had a congenital ... you know , i had a congenital artery when i was a baby , so , um , they had to do a cabg on me , um , fairly young in life , but i've been ... my heart's been doing , doing well , and arteries have been looking good .
[doctor] okay . all right , well , let's go ahead and do a quick physical exam . um , so looking at you , you do n't appear in any distress . um , your neck , there's no thyroid enlargement . uh , your heart i hear a three out of six , systolic ejection murmur , uh , that's stable . your lungs otherwise sound clear . your abdomen is soft , and you do have some pain to palpation of your lumbar spine . uh , and you've had decreased flexion of your back . uh , your lower extremity strength is good , and there's no edema . so let's go ahead and look at some of your results . hey , dragon , show me the ecg . okay , so that looks basically unchanged from last year , which is really good . hey , dragon , show me the lumbar spine x-ray . hey , dragon , show me the back x-ray . great . so this looks good . that's also stable from last year . okay . so let's go ahead and , you know , my , my plan for you at this time , you know , from a chronic back pain standpoint , if you need , um , you know , some more physical therapy , and i can refer you to physical therapy to help with those symptoms that are kind of lingering .
[patient] mm-hmm .
[doctor] um , and we can always give you some pain medication if you , if you get some pain periodically with activity . how do you feel about that ? do you need some pain medication ?
[patient] no , i think physical therapy is the right way to , way to start out on this .
[doctor] okay . hey , dragon , order physical therapy referral . and then in terms of your depression , we talked about increasing your prozac , so we'll increase it from 20 milligrams to 40 milligrams . it's just one tablet once a day .
[patient] okay .
[doctor] um , and i'll send those to your pharmacy . does that sound okay ?
[patient] that sounds great .
[doctor] hey , dragon , order prozac , 40 milligrams , once a day . and then in terms of your ... the heart bypass that you've had ... let's go ahead and just order another echocardiogram for you , and i wan na continue you on the aspirin for now , okay ?
[patient] okay .
[doctor] hey , dragon , order an echocardiogram . hey , dragon , order aspirin 81 milligrams daily . okay , so the nurse will come in . she'll help you schedule those things , and we'll go from there , okay ?

[doctor] hi , stephanie . how are you ?
[patient] i'm doing okay . how are you ?
[doctor] i'm doing okay . um , so i know the nurse talked to you about dax . i'd like to tell dax a little bit about you , okay ?
[patient] okay .

[patient] over the past couple of months , i've been really tired and dizzy . lately , i've been really just worn out , even just , you know , walking a mile or going to work , doing things that i've done in the past every day that have been relatively okay , and i have n't gotten tired . and now , i've been getting tired .
[doctor] okay , yeah . i , you know , the nurse told me that you had called with these complaints . and i know that we have ordered some labs on you before the visit . and it did , it c- you know , your , your , your hemoglobin is your red blood cell count . and now , and that came back as a little low on the results , okay ? so , have you noticed any blood in your stools ?
[patient] uh , no , i have n't . i did about three years ago , um , and i did a colonoscopy for that , but nothing since then .
[doctor] okay , yeah . i remember that , okay . and how about , you know , do your stools look dark or tarry or black or anything like that ?
[patient] no , nothing like that .
[doctor] okay . and have you been , um , having any heavy menstrual bleeding or anything like that ?
[patient] no , not that i've noticed .
[doctor] okay , all right . and any , have you passed out at all , or anything like that ? any weight loss ?
[patient] no , no weight loss or passing out . i have felt a bit dizzy , but it has n't l- led to me passing out at all .
[doctor] okay . so , you endorse some dizziness . you endorse some fatigue . have you , but you have n't had any weight loss , loss of appetite , anything like that ?
[patient] no , nothing like that .
[doctor] okay , all right . so , you know , let's talk a little bit about that colonoscopy . i know you had a colonoscopy about three years ago and that showed that you had some mild diverticuli- diverticulosis . um , no issues since then ?
[patient] nope , no issues since then .
[doctor] okay , all right . and then i know that , uh , you know , you have this slightly reduced heart function , you know , your congestive heart failure . how have you been doing watching your salt intake ? i know that that's kind of been a struggle for you .
[patient] um , it's been more of a struggle recently . i've been traveling a lot . i went up to vermont , um , to go , um , explore the mountains . and along the way i stopped at , you know , mcdonald's and got two cheeseburgers . and so , i , i could be doing better . i've noticed some swelling in my , my legs . um , but nothing too extreme that where i thought i should call .
[doctor] okay , all right . and any shortness of breath or problems lying flat at night , anything like that ?
[patient] no , nothing like that .
[doctor] okay , all right . and then in terms of the kidney stones , i know that you had those a couple years ago , as well . any recent flare ups ? have you had any , any back pain , flank pain , anything like that ?
[patient] no , nothing like that .
[doctor] okay . any blood in your urine that you've seen ?
[patient] no .
[doctor] okay , all right . um , okay . well , i know that the nurse did a review of system sheet when you came in . and we've just talked a lot about your , your s- your symptoms , you know , your dizziness , your fatigue and that type of thing . anything else that i might have missed , fever chills , any nasal congestion , sore throat , cough ?
[patient] uh , i've had a little bit of nasal congestion just because with the seasons changing , i , i get seasonal allergies . but everything else has been okay .
[doctor] okay , all right . well , i'm gon na go ahead and do a quick physical exam , okay ?
[patient] okay .
[doctor] hey , dragon , show me the vital signs . so , here in the office today , your vital signs look great . your blood pressure is fine . your heart rates r- right where it should be , which is good , okay ? i'm just gon na do a quick exam . and i'll let you know what , what i find , okay ?
[patient] okay .
[doctor] all right . so , your physical , physical examination looks fine . so , on your heart exam , i do hear a three out of six systolic ejection murmur , which we've heard in the past , okay ? and on your lower extremities , i do notice some trace to one plus pitting edema in your ankles , which is probably from the salt intake , okay ?
[patient] mm-hmm .
[doctor] so , we'll talk about that . i wan na just look at some of your results , okay ?
[patient] okay .
[doctor] hey , dragon , show me the echocardiogram . so , i just wanted to go over the results of your last echocardiogram , that was about six months ago . that shows that you do have the low pumping function of , of your heart at about 45 % , which is not terrible . and it does show that you have some moderate mitral regurgitation . so , that's that slight heart murmur i heard in your exam , okay ? hey , dragon , show me the hemoglobin . and here , this is the hemoglobin that i was referring to . it's low at 8.2 , okay ? so , we'll have to talk a little bit about that , all right ?
[doctor] so , let me go over a little bit about my assessment and my plan for you , okay ? so , for you first problem this new anemia , uh , i wan na go ahead and send off some more labs and anemia profile , just to see exactly what type of anemia we're dealing with . i also wan na go and refer you back to the gastroenterologist for another evaluation , okay ? hey , dragon , order referral to gastroenterology . so , they're gon na do , uh , probably do an endoscopy and another colonoscopy on you . um , but again , i wan na send off those labs just to make sure that it's not something else , okay ?
[patient] okay .
[doctor] for your next problem your congestive heart failure , um , i do think you're retaining a little bit of fluid . so , i'm gon na go ahead and start you on some lasix 40 milligrams once a day . i want you to continue you on your toprol 50 milligrams daily . and as well your , as well , as your lisinopril 10 milligrams a day . i really want you to watch your salt intake , okay ? get a scale , weigh yourself every day . and call me if your weight starts to go up , okay ?
[patient] okay .
[doctor] 'cause i might need to give you more diuretic .
[patient] all right .
[doctor] and for your last problem your kidney stones , uh , i think everything seems to be fine right at this time . again , continue to watch your diet and stay hydrated . um , and i know that might be a little difficult with the diuretic , but do your best . uh , and give me a call if you have any question , okay ?
[patient] okay .

[doctor] all right , well , i know the nurse told you about dax . i'd like to tell dax a little bit about you , okay ?
[patient] that's fine .
[doctor] so bryan is a 55-year-old male with a past medical history significant for prior discectomy , who presents with back pain . so , bryan , what happened to your back ?
[patient] you ... my wife made me push a , uh , refrigerator out through the other room , and when i was helping to move it , i felt something in my back on the lower right side .
[doctor] okay , on the lower right side of this back ?
[patient] yes .
[doctor] okay . those wives , always making you do stuff .
[patient] yes .
[doctor] and what day did this happen on ? how long ago ?
[patient] uh , this was about five days ago .
[doctor] five days ago .
[patient] and , you know , i have that history of discectomy .
[doctor] yeah .
[patient] and i'm just worried that something happened .
[doctor] okay . all right . and , and what have you taken for the pain ?
[patient] um , i have , uh , been taking ibuprofen . uh , and i tried once tylenol and ibuprofen at the same time , and that gave me some relief .
[doctor] okay . all right . and have you had any symptoms like pain in your legs or numbing or tingling ?
[patient] um , no , nothing significant like that .
[doctor] okay , just the pain in your back .
[patient] just the pain in the back . it hurts to bend over .
[doctor] okay , and any problems with your bladder or your bowels ?
[patient] no , no .
[doctor] i know the nurse said to review a symptom sheet when you checked in .
[patient] mm-hmm .
[doctor] and i know that you were endorsing the back pain . any other symptoms ? chest pain ? shortness of breath ? abdominal pain ?
[patient] no .
[doctor] nausea ? vomiting ?
[patient] no other symptoms .
[doctor] okay . all right . well , let's go ahead and do a quick physical exam . hey , dragon , show me the vital signs . so your vital signs here in the office look really good . you do n't have a fever . your blood pressure's nice and controlled . so that ... that's good . i'm just gon na check out your back and your heart and your lungs , okay ?
[patient] okay .
[doctor] okay , so on physical examination , you know , your heart sounds great . there's ... it's a regular rate and rhythm . your lungs are nice and clear . on your back exam , you do have some pain to palpation of the right lumbar spine , uh , in the paraspinal muscles along with decreased flexion and extension of the back , and you have a positive straight leg on the right . or positive straight leg raise on the right , uh , but your strength is good bilaterally in your lower extremities . so that means that i think that you've injured your back .
[patient] okay .
[doctor] uh , but , you know , i think it's something that we can , we can fix , okay ?

[doctor] hi keith , how are you ?
[patient] ah , not too good . my blood sugar is n't under control .
[doctor] and , uh , so keith is a 58-year-old male here for evaluation of high blood sugar . so , what happened ? ha- have you just been taking your blood sugars at home and noticed that they're really high ? or ?
[patient] yeah i've been taking them at home and i feel like they've been creeping up slightly .
[doctor] have- ... what have they been running , in like the 200's or 300's ?
[patient] 300's .
[doctor] they've been running in the 300's ? and tell me about your diet . have you been eating anything to spark- ... spike them up ?
[patient] to be honest my diet has n't changed much .
[doctor] okay . have you- ... go ahead .
[patient] actually it has n't changed at all . much of the same .
[doctor] okay and what do you con- consider the same ? are you eating lots of sugar ? like , teas and coffees and-
[patient] i do n't take sugar with my tea .
[doctor] okay , all right . and how about , um , like any added sugars into any kind of processed foods or anything like that ?
[patient] uh , i think most of my sugars come from fruit .
[doctor] from what ?
[patient] fruit .
[doctor] fruit , okay .
[patient] yeah .
[doctor] all right . um , and have you been feeling sick recently ? have you had any fever or chills ?
[patient] uh , i have not .
[doctor] body aches , joint pain ?
[patient] uh , a bit of joint pain .
[doctor] multiple joints , or just one joint ?
[patient] uh , my knee . uh , sorry , right knee to be more exact .
[doctor] your right knee ?
[patient] yeah .
[doctor] okay . and what happened ?
[patient] ah , to be honest , nothing much . i just noticed it when you said it .
[doctor] okay , all right . um , and how about any nausea or vomiting or belly pain ?
[patient] uh , i was nauseous a couple of days back but , uh , that's just because i was sitting in the back of a car . i hate that .
[doctor] okay . all right . and no burning when you urinate or anything like that ?
[patient] not at all .
[doctor] okay . all right . so , um ... you know , i know that you've had this reflux in the past . how are you doing with that ? are you still having a lot of reflux symptoms or do you feel like it's better since we've put you on the protonix ?
[patient] i think it's a bit better . uh , i do n't get up at night anymore with reflux and that's always a good thing .
[doctor] okay , all right . and i know you have this history of congestive heart failure . have you noticed any recent , uh , weight gain or fluid retention ?
[patient] um , not really .
[doctor] no ? okay . um , and any problems sleeping while laying flat ?
[patient] uh , i- i prefer to sleep on my side so i ca n't really say .
[doctor] okay , but even then , you're flat .
[patient] yup , yeah .
[doctor] okay . all right . and i know that we had an issue with your right rotator cuff , is that okay ?
[patient] it's surprisingly good now .
[doctor] okay , all right . all right , well let's go ahead and we'll do a quick physical exam . so ... feeling your neck , i do feel like your thyroid's a bit enlarged here . um , your heart is nice and regular . your lungs are clear . your abdomen , um , is nice and soft . your right knee shows that you have some erythema and- and an insect bite with associated fluctuants . and , um , you have some lower extremity edema on the right hand side . so let's go ahead and look at some of your results . i know the nurse had reported these things and we ordered some labs on you before you came in . hey dragon , show me the vital signs . okay , well your- your vital signs look good , which is good . hey dragon , show me the lyme titer . okay , so , you know , your lyme titer is a little elevated , so i think we'll have to go ahead and- and look into that a little bit , okay ?
[patient] makes sense .
[doctor] that can certainly cause your blood sugar to be elevated . um , hey dragon , uh , show me the rapid strep . and you also have , uh , positive for strep . so i think we have some reasons as to why your blood sugar is so high . so my impression of you , you know , you have this hyperglycemia , which is probably related to some infections going on in your body . um , from a- a- a rapid strep standpoint we're gon na go ahead and treat you with penicillin or , i'm sorry , amoxicillin , 500 milligrams , three times a day . uh , make sure you take it all , even if you start feeling better , okay ?
[patient] for sure .
[doctor] hey dragon , order amoxicillin , 500 milligrams , three times a day for 10 days . um ... okay . and from ... , and from all- ... a positive lyme titer aspect , we should go ahead and order a western blot , just pcr to see if you have any , um , to see if it's actually acute lyme , okay ?
[patient] okay .
[doctor] okay . um , hey dragon , order a western blot pcr for lyme . okay . all right . well we'll go ahead and , um , the nurse will come in soon and she'll set you up with these tests , okay ?
[patient] yeah . you said lyme . is that related to lyme disease ?
[doctor] yes it is , yeah .
[patient] you're certain i do n't have alpha-gal syndrome though , right ? i'm terrified of that one .
[doctor] have what ?
[patient] alpha-gal syndrome , the one where a tick bites you and you get an allergic reaction to meat .
[doctor] yeah , i do n't think so . have you eaten meat over the last couple of days ?
[patient] i have .
[doctor] okay . well i- ... it's , you know , your blood sugar's elevated so you might be having an inflammatory response to that , but we'll go ahead and order some tests to look into it , okay ?
[patient] that sounds good .
[doctor] all right . call me if anything happens , okay ?
[patient] definitely .
[doctor] all right . hey dragon , finalize the note .

[doctor] hi , roger . how are you ?
[patient] hey . good to see you .
[doctor] good to see you . are you ready to get started ?
[patient] yes , i am .
[doctor] roger is a 62 year old male here for emergency room follow-up for some chest pain . so , roger , i heard you went to the er for some chest discomfort .
[patient] yeah . we were doing a bunch of yard work and it was really hot over the weekend and i was short of breath and i felt a little chest pain for probably about an hour or so . so , i got a little nervous about that .
[doctor] okay . and had you ever had that before ?
[patient] no , i never have , actually .
[doctor] okay . and-
[patient] whose mic is on ? i'm in .
[doctor] okay . and , um , how are you feeling since then ?
[patient] um , after , uh , we were done , i felt fine ever since , but i thought it was worth looking into .
[doctor] okay . and no other symptoms since then ?
[patient] no .
[doctor] okay . and any family history of any heart disease ?
[patient] uh , no , actually . not , not on my , uh , uh , on my immediate family , but i have on my cousin's side of the family .
[doctor] okay . all right . all right . and , um , you know , i know that you had had the , uh , knee surgery-
[patient] mm-hmm .
[doctor] a couple months ago . you've been feeling well since then ?
[patient] yeah . no problem in , uh , rehab and recovery .
[doctor] okay . and no chest pain while you were , you know , doing exercises in pt for your knee ?
[patient] no . that's why last week's episode was so surprising .
[doctor] okay . all right . and in terms of your high blood pressure , do you know when you had the chest pain if your blood pressure was very high ? did they say anything in the emergency room ?
[patient] um , they were a little concerned about it , but , uh , they kept me there for a few hours and it seemed to regulate after effect . so , it , it did n't seem to be a problem when i , when i went home .
[doctor] okay . and , and i see here that it was about 180 over 95 when you went into the emergency room . has it been running that high ?
[patient] uh , usually no . that's why it was so surprising .
[doctor] okay . all right . all right . well , let's go ahead and we'll do a quick physical exam . so , looking at you , you know , i'm feeling your neck . i do feel a little enlarged thyroid here that's not tender . you have a carotid bruit on the right hand side and , uh , your lungs are clear . your heart is in a regular rate and rhythm , but i do hear a three out of six systolic ejection murmur . your abdomen is nice and soft . uh , there is the healed scar on your right knee from your prior knee surgery , and there's no lower extremity edema .
[doctor] so , let's look at some of your results , okay ?
[patient] mm-hmm .
[doctor] hey , dragon , show me the blood pressure . yeah . and here , your blood pressure's still high , so we'll have to talk about that . um , hey , dragon , show me the ekg . so , here you- that's good , your , your ekg-
[patient] mm-hmm .
[doctor] . here is normal , so that's , that's very encouraging . um , i know that they had the echocardiogram , so let's look at that . hey , dragon , show me the echocardiogram . okay . so , looking at this , you know , you do have a little bit of a , a low pumping function of your heart , which , you , you know , can happen and we'll have to look into that , okay ?
[patient] mm-hmm .
[doctor] so , you know , my impression is is that you have this episode of chest pain , um , that could be related to severe hypertension or it could be related to some heart disease . so , what i'd like to go ahead and do is , number one , we'll put you on , um ... we'll change your blood pressure regimen . we'll put you on carvedilol , 25 milligrams twice a day . that helps with coronary disease as well as your pumping function of your heart . um , i wan na go ahead and order a cardiac catheterization on you and make sure that we do n't have any blockages in your heart arteries responsible for the chest pain .
[doctor] for the high blood pressure , we're gon na add the carvedilol and i want you to continue your lisinopril 10 milligrams a day and i wan na see , uh , how your blood pressure does on that regimen , okay ?
[patient] okay . sounds good .
[doctor] all right . so , the nurse will be in soon and i'll ... we'll schedule that cath for you , okay ?
[patient] you got it .
[doctor] hey , dragon , finalize the note .

[doctor] hi , joseph . how are you ?
[patient] hey , i'm okay . good to see you .
[doctor] good to see you . are you ready to get started ?
[patient] yes , i am .
[doctor] okay . joseph is a 59 year old male here for routine follow-up of his chronic problems . so , joseph , how have you been doing ?
[patient] yeah , i've been kind of managing through my depression , and , uh , my asthma's been acting up 'cause we had a really bad pollen season , and i am at least keeping my diabetes under control , but just , uh , it's just persistent issues all around .
[doctor] okay . all right . well , let's start with your diabetes . so , your diet's been good ?
[patient] um , for the most part , but we have been traveling all over to different sports tournaments for the kids , so it was , uh , a weekend of , uh , eating on the go , crumby junk food , pizza , and did n't really stick to the diet , so that was a bit of an adjustment .
[doctor] okay . all right . um , but , ha- ha- have you ... let's just talk about your review of systems . have you had any dizziness , lightheadedness , fever , chills ?
[patient] running up and down the stairs , it was pretty warm , so i did feel a little bit lightheaded , and i did get a little dizzy , but i thought it was just the heat and the fatigue .
[doctor] okay . any chest pain , shortness of breath , or belly pain ?
[patient] shortness of breath . no belly pain though .
[doctor] okay . all right . and , how about any joint pain or muscle aches ?
[patient] uh , my knees hurt a little bit from running up and down , and maybe picking up the boxes , but nothing out of the ordinary .
[doctor] okay . all right . um , and , in terms of your asthma , you just said that you were short of breath running up and down the stairs , so , um , do , how often have you been using your inhaler over the past year ?
[patient] only when it seems to go over about 85 degrees out . that's when i really feel it , so that's when i've been using it . if it's a nice , cool , dry day , i really do n't use the inhaler .
[doctor] okay . and , um-
[doctor] and , in terms of your activities of daily living , are you able to exercise or anything like-
[patient] yes , i do exercise in the morning . i , i ride , uh , our bike for probably about 45 minutes or so .
[doctor] okay . all right . and then , your depression , you said it's ... how's that going ? i know we have you on the , on the prozac 20mg a day . are you taking that ? are you having a lot of side effects from that ?
[patient] i was taking it regularly , but i've kind of weened myself off of it . i thought i felt a little bit better , but i think , uh , i , i kinda go through battles with depression every so often .
[doctor] okay . all right . are you interested in resuming the medication , or would you like to try a different one ?
[patient] i , maybe adjusting what i'm currently taking , maybe l- less of a dose so i do n't feel the side effects as much , but i , i'm willing to try something different .
[doctor] okay . all right . okay , well , let's , let's go ahead and we'll do a quick physical exam . so , looking at you , you're in , in no apparent distress . i'm feeling your neck . there's no cervical lymphadenopathy . your thyroid seems not enlarged . and , listening to your lungs , you do have some bilateral expiratory wheezing that's very faint , and your heart is a regular rate and rhythm . your abdomen is soft , and uh , your lower extremities have no edema . so , let's go ahead and look at some of your results . hey , dragon , show me the pfts .
[doctor] okay , so your , your pfts , that , those are your breathing studies , and those look quite good , so i know that you're wheezing right now , but , um , you know , i think that we can add , add , um , a regimen to that to help , to help you with your , um , exacerbations during the , the summer months , okay ?
[patient] okay .
[doctor] and then , let's look at your ... hey , dragon ? show me the hemoglobin a1c . okay , so your a1c , you're right , you know , over the past couple months is , you know , your blood sugar's probably been running a little high , so , you know , i know that you're gon na get back on your diet regimen , but , um , for right now , let's go ahead and we'll increase your metformin , okay ?
[patient] okay .
[doctor] um , and then , hey , dragon ? show me the chest x-ray . okay , good , and your chest x-ray looks fine , so we know that there's no pneumonia there .
[patient] mm-hmm .
[doctor] and , it's just is all just from your asthma . so , you know , my impression of you at this time , you know , from a diabetes standpoint , let's , let's increase the metformin to 1,000 mg twice a day . um , and , we will get a repeat hemoglobin a1c in three months , and i want you to continue to monitor your blood sugars at home .
[doctor] from an asthma standpoint , let's continue you on the albuterol , two puffs , uh , every four to six hours as needed , and we'll add symbicort , two puffs twice a day during the summer , to kind of help prevent those exacerbations . and then , from a depression standpoint , we'll go ahead and start you on a different medication , zoloft , um , 25 mg once a day and see how you tolerate that . does that sound okay ?
[patient] perfect .
[doctor] all right . so , the nurse will be in soon , and she'll get you situated with all of that , okay ?
[patient] great .
[doctor] it was good to see you .
[patient] same here .
[doctor] hey , dragon ? finalize the note .

[doctor] hi , john , how are you doing ?
[patient] hi , good to see you .
[doctor] good to see you too . so i know the nurse told you about dax , i'd like to tell dax a little about you .
[patient] sure .
[doctor] so john is a 55-year-old male with a past medical history significant for anxiety and epilepsy who presents with an abnormal lab finding . so , john , um , i , uh , was notified by the emergency room that you , um , had a really high blood sugar and you were in there with , uh ... they had to treat you for that , what was going on ?
[patient] yeah , we've been going from place to place for different events and we've had a lot of visitors over the last couple of weeks and i just was n't monitoring my sugar intake and , uh , a little too much stress and strain i think over the last couple of weeks .
[doctor] okay , yeah , i had gone through your hemoglobin a1c's and you know , they were borderline in the past but-
[patient] mm-hmm
[doctor] -i guess , you know , i guess they're high now so how are you feeling since then ?
[patient] so far so good .
[doctor] okay , did they put you on medication ?
[patient] uh , they actually did .
[doctor] okay , all right . i think they have here metformin ?
[patient] yeah , that's- that sounds right .
[doctor] all right , um , and , um , in terms of your anxiety , i'm sure that this did n't help much-
[patient] did n't help , no , not at all .
[doctor] how are you doing with that ?
[patient] um , i had my moments but , um , it ... now that it's almost the weekend , it's- it's been a little bit better . i think things are under control by now .
[patient] okay .
[doctor] okay ? um , how about your epilepsy , any seizures recently ?
[patient] not in a while , it's been actually quite a few months and it was something minor but noth- nothing major ever since .
[doctor] okay . all right , well you know i wanted to just go ahead and do , um , a quick review of the systems , i know you did a cheat with the nurse-
[patient] mm-hmm .
[doctor] any chest pain , shortness of breath , nausea , vomiting , dizzy- dizziness ?
[patient] no , no .
[doctor] okay , any recent fever , chills ?
[patient] no .
[doctor] okay . and all right , let's go ahead do a quick physical exam . hey , dragon , show me the vitals . so looking here at your vital signs today , um , they look really good . so i'm just gon na go ahead and take a listen to your heart and lungs .
[patient] mm-hmm .
[doctor] okay , so on physical examination , you know , everything seems to look really good , um lungs are nice and clear , your heart's at a regular rate and rhythm . you do have some trace pitting edema to your lower extremities so what that means is that it looks like you might be retaining a little bit of fluid-
[patient] mm-hmm .
[doctor] um , did they give you a lot of fluid in the emergency room ?
[patient] they actually did .
[doctor] okay , all right , so it might just be from that . okay , well let's look at some of your results . hey , dragon , show me the glucose . okay , so yeah , you know i know that they just checked your blood sugar now and it was 162 and you know , what ... you know , did you eat before this ?
[patient] uh , probably about two hours ago .
[doctor] okay , all right . hey , dragon , show me the diabetes labs . yeah , so your hemoglobin a1c here is is 8 , you know last time we had seen it , it was about 6 and we had n't put you on medications so , um , i think it's something we'll have to talk about , okay ?
[patient] you got it .
[doctor] um , so let's just talk a little bit about my assessment and my plan for you so for your first problem , this newly diagnosed diabetes . um , you know , i want to continue on the metformin 500 mg twice a day . we'll probably increase that over time .
[patient] mm-hmm .
[doctor] i'm gon na go ahead and order hemoglobin a1c for the future okay ?
[patient] sure .
[doctor] um for your second problem , your anxiety . it sounds like you know you might have , you know , some issues leading into the winter . how do you feel about that ?
[patient] well , i'll try something new just to help . if it helps that'd be great .
[doctor] okay , all right , and so for your last ish issue , your- your epilepsy , you know , i think you saw your neurologist about three months ago , you must be due to see her again some time soon ?
[patient] i am .
[doctor] and we'll just continue you on the keppra , okay ?
[patient] sure .
[doctor] any questions ?
[patient] not at this point , no .

[doctor] hi , louis . how are you ?
[patient] hi . good to see you .
[doctor] it's good to see you as well . are you ready to get started ?
[patient] yes , i am .
[doctor] louis is a 58-year-old male here for follow up from an emergency room visit . so , louis , what happened ?
[patient] yeah . i was playing tennis on saturday . it was really , really hot that day , very humid . and about after about a half an hour i was very short of breath , i was struggling breathing . i thought i was having a heart attack , got really nervous . so , my wife took me to the er and , uh , everything checked out , but i was just very upset about it .
[doctor] okay . all right . and how have you been feeling since that time ?
[patient] uh , foof , probably , probably about six hours after we got home , i felt very light-head and very dizzy and then , sunday , i felt fine . i just thought it was worth checking up with you though .
[doctor] okay . and have you been taking all of your meds for your heart failure ?
[patient] i have . i have . i've been , uh , very diligent with it . and , uh , i'm in touch with the doctor and so far , so good , other than this episode on saturday .
[doctor] okay . and , and you're watching your diet , you're avoiding salt . have you had anything salty ?
[patient] i cheat every now and then . you know , i try and stay away from the junk food and the salty foods . but , for the most part , i've been doing a good job of that .
[doctor] okay . all right . um , and i know that they removed a cataract from your eye-
[patient] mm-hmm .
[doctor] . a couple of , like couple months ago . that's been fine ?
[patient] that was three months ago , thursday , and everything's been fine ever since .
[doctor] okay . so , no vision problems .
[patient] no .
[doctor] okay . and you had a skin cancer removed about five months ago as well . you've had a lot going on .
[patient] yeah . it's been a really busy year . an- and again , so far , so good . that healed up nicely , no problems ever since .
[doctor] okay . all right . um , so , why do n't we go ahead and we'll do a quick physical-
[patient] mm-hmm .
[doctor] . exam . hey , dragon , show me the blood pressure . so , here , your blood pressure is a little high .
[patient] mm-hmm .
[doctor] um , so , you know , i did see a report in the emergency room that your blood pressure was high there as well .
[patient] mm-hmm .
[doctor] so , we'll have to just kind of talk about that . uh , but let's go ahead and we'll examine you .
[patient] sure .
[doctor] okay ?
[patient] mm-hmm .
[doctor] okay . so , you know , looking at you , your neck is very supple . i do n't appreciate any fibular venous distention . your heart is a regular rate and rhythm , no murmur . your lungs have some fine crackles in them , bilaterally . and you have trace lower extremity edema in both legs . so , what that means , essentially , is that you may have some extra fluid on board , um , from eating salty foods-
[patient] mm-hmm .
[doctor] . along with this history of your congestive heart failure . but , let's go ahead and look at some of your results . hey , dragon , show me the ecg . so , this is , uh , a s- a stable ecg for you . this basically shows that you have some left ventricular hypertrophy which caused your congestive heart failure . um , let's go ahead and review your echocardiogram . hey , dragon , show me the echocardiogram . so , in reviewing the results of your echocardiogram , it shows that your pumping function of your heart is a little low , uh , but it's stable . and , you know , i think that we know this and we have you on the appropriate-
[patient] mm-hmm .
[doctor] medication therapy . and then , i just wan na be reminded about , um , the results of your skin biopsy . hey , dragon , show me the skin biopsy results . okay . and in reviewing the pathology report for your skin cancer-
[patient] mm-hmm .
[doctor] . you know , it looks like they got all of that and everything's fine .
[patient] yep .
[doctor] so , you know , my impression of you at this time , for the shortness of breath that you had in the emergency department , i think it was an exacerbation of your heart failure . and you probably had some , what we call , dietary indiscretion , you ate some salty food which made you retain some fluid .
[patient] mm-hmm .
[doctor] so , for that , i'm going to prescribe you , you know , an extra dose of lasix 80 milligrams , once a day . and , um , we're going to , uh , put you on some carvedilol 25 milligrams , twice a day . okay ?
[patient] okay . perfect .
[doctor] um , and i think from a , a cataract surgery standpoint and your skin cancer removal , everything seems to be fine and you're doing well , so i do n't think we need to adjust any of those medications .

[doctor] thanks , rachel . nice , nice to meet you .
[patient] yeah .
[doctor] um , as my nurse told you , we're using dax . so i'm just gon na tell dax a little bit about you .
[patient] mm-hmm .
[doctor] so rachel is a 48-year-old female here for shortness of breath . she has a history of depression , smoking , and chronic back pain . so tell me about this shortness of breath .
[patient] okay . so there are times when i'm either doing very , very mild exercises or just walking , even if i'm just walking up , you know , my driveway , i find myself palpitating a lot , and there's a little bit of shortness of breath .
[doctor] mm-hmm .
[patient] i do n't know if it's got to do with the back pain , you know , whether that gets triggered as well at the same time .
[doctor] right .
[patient] but definitely i feel it happens more often lately .
[doctor] okay . and anything else change recently ? like , have you changed lifestyle , like you're exercising more than you used to , having any allergies , anything like that ?
[patient] probably exercising more to get rid of the covid 15 .
[doctor] the covid 15 . yeah . now last time i saw you , you were smoking two packs a day . how much are you smoking now ?
[patient] um , it's gone down quite a bit because , yeah , we said we have to make some , you know , changes as you get older .
[doctor] yeah .
[patient] so i would say it's probably , um , maybe , maybe a couple ... probably a coup- i do n't know . probably once or day or something .
[doctor] just couple cigarettes a day ?
[patient] probably once a day , yeah .
[doctor] we're getting close .
[patient] yeah .
[doctor] that's awesome .
[patient] mm-hmm .
[doctor] that's great news . um , and then how's your depression doing ?
[patient] i have my moments .
[doctor] yeah .
[patient] there are some days when i feel , you know , i wake up and everything was great .
[doctor] uh- .
[patient] and then there are times , i do n't , i do n't know whether it's got to do with the weather or what else kind of triggers it .
[doctor] yeah .
[patient] there are some days when i feel extremely low .
[doctor] okay . and you had been taking the effexor for your depression . are you still taking that ?
[patient] yes , i am .
[doctor] okay , great . and then , um the chronic back pain , we've been giving you the gabapentin neurontin for that . is that helping control the pain ?
[patient] i think it is .
[doctor] yeah .
[patient] it is ... it's definitely , um , i feel better .
[doctor] uh- .
[patient] but it does come every now and then .
[doctor] right . what do you do when it's really bad ?
[patient] um , i try to just get as much rest as i can .
[doctor] okay . and you had talked about doing yoga . are you doing yoga anymore ?
[patient] i wish i said yes , but i have n't really made it a habit .
[doctor] okay . okay . well , um , you know , said ... you said you were coming in with shortness of breath , so we sent you to get some pulmonary function tests .
[patient] mm-hmm .
[doctor] so let's just look at those . hey , dragon , show me the pulmonary function tests . okay , so it looks like ... , it's interesting . it says that you might be having a little bit of asthma or , uh , copd . and if you are , we'll talk about that .
[patient] mm-hmm .
[doctor] let's look at our x-ray . hey , dragon , show me the most recent x-ray . okay , i said it wrong . hey , dragon , show me the most recent chest x-ray . okay , this is interesting . your ... kind of your diaphragm is a little bit flatter , and we'll see that in some , uh , copd , which happens with smokers often . so let's just do a quick physical exam . i know my nurse did the review of systems with you . is there anything else bothering you that we need to talk about today ?
[patient] no other issues .
[doctor] okay . great . let's do the exam . all right , so your physical exam looks pretty normal other than you've got kind of these mild wheezes in all your lung fields . and so i think you do have copd from your pulmonary function tests , your x-ray , and that . so i'm gon na diagnose you with copd . chronic obstructive pulmonary disease . it means you're not able to exhale appropriately .
[patient] mm-hmm .
[doctor] so we're gon na put you on a medicine called combivent . okay , you're gon na do two puffs twice a day . it's gon na help open up your lungs . it's an inhaler .
[patient] mm-hmm .
[doctor] i'm also gon na prescribe albuterol , which you use when you get really short of breath . it's like a rescue thing .
[patient] mm-hmm .
[doctor] um , and then i'm gon na prescribe some steroids to help , also some prednisone . so let me just order those .
[patient] okay .
[doctor] hey , dragon , order combivent , uh , two puffs twice a day . order albuterol , two puffs as needed . and order , uh , prednisone uh taper pack . okay , so and then it sounds like your depression's stable , so we're not gon na change anything . you're gon na keep taking the effexor . um , do yoga for depression and your back pain , so for your back pain , stay on the neurontin , and we just wo n't do anything different . any questions for me .
[patient] no , i think this is good . thank you .
[doctor] perfect . hey , dragon , finalize the note . why do n't you ...

[doctor] hi , edward , how are you ?
[patient] i'm doing well , yourself ?
[doctor] i'm doing okay .
[patient] good .
[doctor] so , i know the nurse told you about dax . i'd like to tell dax a little bit about you .
[patient] absolutely .
[doctor] edward is a 59 year old male with a past medical history significant for depression , hypertension and prior rotator cuff repair who presents for followup of his chronic problems . so , edward , it's been a little while since i saw you .
[patient] mm-hmm .
[doctor] how are you doing ?
[patient] i'm doing pretty well , actually . it's been a good , uh , good six months .
[doctor] good . okay . so , you know , the last time we spoke , you know , you were trying to think of some new strategies to manage your depression . you did n't wan na go on medication because you're already on a bunch of meds .
[patient] absolutely .
[doctor] so , how are you doing with that ?
[patient] i'm doing well . i see a counselor , uh , once a week . uh , and i've been out swimming at the pool a lot this , this , uh , summer , and , uh , fall . so , things have been well , going well with my depression .
[doctor] okay , so , you do n't wan na , you do n't feel the need to start any medications at this time ?
[patient] no , no , no . but , i know i can call you if i do .
[doctor] yeah , absolutely .
[patient] okay .
[doctor] yeah . all right . and then , in terms of your high blood pressure , how are you doing with that ? i know we , we were kind of struggling with it la- six months ago . how are you doing ?
[patient] i still have my good days and my bad days . i do take my medicine daily . uh , but , you know that burger and wine , every once in a while , sneaks in there , and that salt be ... we know what that does .
[doctor] yeah . so , i love burgers and wine too .
[patient] okay .
[doctor] so , i get it . um , okay , so , and you're taking the norvasc ?
[patient] norvasc , yep .
[doctor] okay . um , and , you're checking your blood pressures at home , it sounds like ?
[patient] i , i do . well , i go to cvs pharmacy . they , they have a , uh , machine that i can sit down at quickly and get my , uh , blood pressure taken . and , i go there about once a week .
[doctor] okay . all right . and then , i know that you had that rotator cuff repaired about eight months ago . how are you doing ?
[patient] um , it's doing well . i , i'm , i'm , been stretching with a yoga ball .
[doctor] uh- .
[patient] and , uh , i'm getting stronger each time . and , i can continue that once a week also .
[doctor] okay . are you still seeing the physical therapist in the center , or are you just doing exercises at home ?
[patient] i'm just , i progressed to exercises at home .
[doctor] okay . all right . great . all right . well , i know you did a review of systems sheet when you checked in .
[patient] mm-hmm .
[doctor] and , you know , it seems like you're doing well . any symptoms at all ? any nasal congestion or chest pain , shortness of breath , anything ?
[patient] no . none of those . i do , do notice that i get a little bit of a de- , uh , swelling in my ankles .
[doctor] okay .
[patient] uh , mainly near the end of the day .
[doctor] okay .
[patient] um , it seems to go away by the next morning .
[doctor] okay . all right . all right . maybe that has to do with some of the salt intake you're , you're eating .
[patient] okay .
[doctor] all right . well , i wan na go ahead and do a quick physical exam , okay ?
[patient] mm-hmm .
[doctor] hey , dragon ? show me the blood pressure . yeah , so , your blood pressure's a little elevated today , 156 over 94 .
[patient] okay .
[doctor] you know , you could be a little happy to see me . i do n't know .
[doctor] um , but let's look at some of the readings . hey , dragon ? show me the blood pressure readings . yeah , so , they've been a , running a little high over the past couple months .
[patient] okay .
[doctor] so , we'll have to just kinda talk about that , okay ?
[patient] okay .
[doctor] i'm gon na go ahead and listen to your heart and lungs , and i'll let you know what i find , okay ?
[patient] okay .
[doctor] okay . all right . so , on physical exam , you know , everything looks good . on your heart exam , i do appreciate a slight three out of six systolic ejection murmur , but we've heard that in the past .
[patient] okay .
[doctor] so , that seems stable to me . um , on your lung exam , everything sounds nice and clear , and on your lower extremity exam , i do appreciate , you know , 1 to 2+ pitting edema in your legs , okay ? so , we'll have to just talk a little bit about your diet and decreasing the salt intake , okay ?
[patient] okay .
[doctor] so , let me just look at some of your results , okay ? hey , dragon ? show me the labs . so , looking here at your lab results , everything looks really good . you know , your creatinine , that's your kidney function , that looks stable . everything looks good from that standpoint . hey , dragon ? show me the ekg . and , looking here at your ekg , everything , you know , looks fine . there's no evidence of any coronary artery disease . it's a nice , normal ekg , which is good .
[patient] okay .
[doctor] okay ?
[patient] good .
[doctor] so , let me just talk a little bit about my assessment and my plan for you . okay ? so , from a depression standpoint , it's , you know , your first problem , i think that that sounds like you're doing really well managing it . you know , you have good strategies . it sounds like you have a good support system , um , and i agree . i do n't think you need to start on any medication at this time , but you said before , you know you can call me , okay ?
[patient] yes .
[doctor] for your second problem , your hypertension , i , i do n't believe it's well controlled at this time . so , i wan na go ahead and , you know , increase the norvasc up to 10 mg a day , and i wan na go ahead and order an echocardiogram and a lipid panel , okay ?
[patient] okay .
[doctor] hey , dragon ? order an echocardiogram . and , for your third problem , your rotator cuff repair , i , i think you're doing really well with that . i would just continue with the exercises and , uh , i do n't think we need to intervene upon that anymore . it sounds like that's pretty much resolved , okay ?
[patient] good . good .
[doctor] do you have any questions about anything ?
[patient] no questions .
[doctor] okay , great . hey , dragon ? finalize the note .

[doctor] hello , mrs . peterson .
[patient] hi , doctor taylor . good to see you .
[doctor] you're here for your hip today , or your- your leg today ?
[patient] yes . i hurt my- the- my- top part of my right leg here .
[doctor] hey , dragon . i'm seeing mrs . peterson , here , she's a 43-year-old patient . she's here for left leg pain . right leg pain , right leg pain ?
[patient] yes .
[doctor] um so , what happened to you ?
[patient] i was bowling and as i was running up to the lane , i had my bowling ball all the way back , and when i slung it forward , i hit it right into my leg instead of the lane and so then i fell but- yeah-
[doctor] did you get a strike ?
[patient] no . in fact , i actually dropped the ball and it jumped two lanes over and landed in the other people's gutter .
[doctor] terrific , terrific . so , did it swell up on you ?
[patient] it- not- did n't seem like it swelled that much .
[doctor] what about bruising ?
[patient] um , a little bit on the back- back end , that side .
[doctor] have- have you been able to walk on it ?
[patient] just a little bit . very carefully .
[doctor] sore to walk on ?
[patient] yes . it's very sore .
[doctor] um , and going upstairs or downstairs , does that bother you at all ?
[patient] yeah , well , i do n't have stairs , but um , i would avoid that at all costs .
[doctor] okay . um , it looks like you had a history of atopic eczema in your past ?
[patient] yes . yes , i have eczema .
[doctor] okay . and you take uh- uh , fluocinonide for that ?
[patient] yes , when it gets really itchy , i'll- i'll use that and it usually takes care of it .
[doctor] okay . and , it looks like you have a pre- previous surgical history of a colectomy ? what happened there ?
[patient] yes , i had a- um , some diverticulosis and then um , i actually went into diverticulitis and they ended up going in and having to remove a little bit of my colon .
[doctor] okay , let me examine you . does it hurt when i push on your leg like that ?
[patient] yes , it does .
[doctor] okay . if i lift your leg up like this , does that hurt ?
[patient] no .
[doctor] so , on my exam , you have some significant tenderness to the lateral aspect of your um right upper leg . you do n't seem to have any pain or tenderness with flexion or extension of your um your lower leg . um , are you taking anything for it right now ?
[patient] i've been going back and forth between taking ibuprofen and tylenol .
[doctor] okay . well , my impression is that you- you probably have a contusion , but let's take a look at your x-ray first . hey , dragon . show me the x-ray . yeah , so if you look at this , this is a normal femur . um , really do n't see any evidence of a fracture or any swelling , so it's essentially , a normal x-ray . so , what we're going to do is , i'm going to start you on um an anti-inflammatory . it's going to be mobic 15 milligrams uh , once a day . i want you to use some ice for the pain , um , and it should , honestly , just being a contusion , get better in the next week or so . if it's not getting better , of course , come on back and- and see me .
[patient] okay , sounds good .
[doctor] hey , dragon . go ahead and um , pres- do the orders and um , procedures uh , as described . come with me , and uh , i'll get you checked out . dragon , go ahead and finish off the note .

[doctor] hi miss russell .
[patient] hi-
[doctor] nice to meet you-
[patient] doctor gutierrez . how are you ?
[doctor] i'm well .
[patient] good .
[doctor] hey dragon . i'm seeing miss russell . she's a 39-year-old female here for , what are you here for ?
[patient] it's my right upper arm . it hurts really , really bad .
[doctor] so severe right upper arm pain .
[patient] yeah , uh yes .
[doctor] and how did this happen ?
[patient] i was playing volleyball yesterday , uh last night . um and i went to spike the ball , and the team we were playing , they're dirty . so um , somebody right across from me kinda kicked my legs from under me as i was going up , and i fell and landed on my arm .
[doctor] mm-hmm , like right on your shoulder .
[patient] yeah .
[doctor] ow .
[patient] yes .
[doctor] that sounds like it hurt .
[patient] it was nasty .
[doctor] um , so this happened , what ? like 12 hours ago now ?
[patient] uh , seven o'clock last night , so a little more than that .
[doctor] okay .
[patient] eighteen hours .
[doctor] so less than a day .
[patient] yeah .
[doctor] in severe pain .
[patient] yes .
[doctor] have you taken anything for the pain ?
[patient] i've been taking ibuprofen every six hours i think , but it's really not helping at all .
[doctor] okay , what would you rate your pain ?
[patient] it's like a nine .
[doctor] nine out of 10 ?
[patient] yeah .
[doctor] so like really severe ?
[patient] yes .
[doctor] have you used any ice ?
[patient] no , i have n't .
[doctor] okay . and do you have any medical problems ?
[patient] i have gallstones .
[doctor] okay . do you take any medicine for it ?
[patient] pepcid .
[doctor] okay . and any surgeries in the past ?
[patient] yes , i had a lumbar fusion about six years ago .
[doctor] okay .
[patient] um , yeah .
[doctor] all right . let's uh , let's look at your x-ray .
[doctor] hey dragon . show me the last radiograph . so this is looking at your right arm , and what i see is a proximal humerus fracture . so you kinda think of your humerus as a snow cone , and you knocked the-
[patient] the top of the snow cone ?
[doctor] the top off the snow cone . um , so i'll be gentle but i want to examine your arm .
[patient] all right .
[doctor] okay .
[patient] all right . all right .
[doctor] all right . are you able to straighten your arm ?
[patient] yeah , i can just straighten the elbow as long as i do n't move up here .
[doctor] as long as you do n't move your shoulder .
[patient] yeah .
[doctor] go ahead and bend . okay . so your exam is generally normal , meaning that the rest of your body is normal
[patient]
[doctor] but you've got some swelling and erythema-
[patient] yeah .
[doctor] . on that right shoulder . you've got uh , tenderness over your right shoulder . you've got normal pulses , and everything else is normal . any numbness or tingling in that right arm ?
[patient] no .
[doctor] okay . um , so what we're going to have to do- the good thing about um , these kinds of fractures is generally , they will heal up without surgery . um , but we have to put you in a sling that weighs your arm down and pulls it down . so we're going to put you in a long arm cast and a sling , and then we're gon na check you in two weeks to see if those bones have realigned and if they have n't , then we're gon na have to talk about doing surgery at that time .
[patient] okay .
[doctor] i'm going to prescribe you some pain medicine . we'll do lortab 500- lortab 5 milligram .
[doctor] um , you can take one to two tablets every uh , six hours as needed for pain . i'll give you 20 of those .
[patient] all right .
[doctor] and um , do you have any allergies to medicines ? i did n't ask .
[patient] no , i do n't have no allergies .
[doctor] okay . um , hey dragon , go ahead and order any medications or procedures discussed . um , do you have any questions for me ?
[patient] no , i do n't .
[doctor] okay , great . why do n't you come with me , we'll get the tech to put the cast on .
[patient] okay .
[doctor] and we'll get you checked out .
[patient] thank you .

[doctor] hi ms. hernandez , dr. fisher , how are you ?
[patient] hi dr. fisher . i'm doing okay except for my elbow here .
[doctor] all right . so it's your right elbow ?
[patient] it's my right elbow , yes .
[doctor] okay . hey dragon , ms. hernandez is a 48-year-old female here for a right elbow . so , tell me what happened .
[patient] well , i was , um , moving to a new home-
[doctor] okay .
[patient] and i was , um , moving boxes from the truck into the house and i lifted a box up and then i felt like this popping-
[doctor] hmm .
[patient] and this strain as i was lifting it up onto the shelf .
[doctor] okay . and when- when did this happen ?
[patient] this was just yesterday .
[doctor] all right . and have you tried anything for it ? i mean ...
[patient] i put ice on it . and i've been taking ibuprofen , but it still hurts at lot .
[doctor] okay , what makes it better or worse ?
[patient] the ice , when i have it on , is better .
[doctor] okay .
[patient] but , um , as soon as , you know , i take it off then it starts throbbing and hurting again .
[doctor] all right . uh , let's review your past medical history . uh ... looks like you've got a history of anaphylaxis , is that correct ?
[patient] yes . yes , i do . yeah .
[doctor] do you take any medications for it ?
[patient] um , ep- ... just an epipen .
[doctor] just epipen for anaphylaxis when you need it . um , and what surgeries have you had before ?
[patient] yeah , so carotid . yeah-
[doctor] . yeah , no , uh , your , uh , neck surgery .
all right . well let's , uh , examine you here for a second .
so it's your , uh , this elbow right here ?
[patient] yeah .
[doctor] and is it hurt- ... tender right around that area ?
[patient] yes , it is .
[doctor] okay . can you flex it or can you bend it ?
[patient] it hurts when i do that , yeah .
[doctor] all right . and go ahead and straighten out as much as you can .
[patient] that's about it .
[doctor] all right .
[patient] yeah .
[doctor] so there's some swelling there . and how about , uh , can you move your fingers okay ? does that hurt ?
[patient] no , that's fine .
[doctor] how about right over here ?
[patient] uh , no that's fine . yeah .
[doctor] okay . so on exam you've got some tenderness over your lateral epicondyle . uh , you have some swelling there and some redness . uh , you have some pain with flexion , extension of your elbow as well . uh , and you have some pain on the dorsal aspect of your- of your forearm as well . okay ? so let's look at your x-rays . hey dragon , show me the x-rays . all right . your x-ray of your elbow-
it looks like , i mean , the bones are lined up properly . there's no fracture-
[doctor] . it , uh , there's a little bit of swelling there on the lateral elbow but i do n't see any fracture , so that's good . so , looking at the x-ray and looking at your exam , uh , my diagnosis here would be lateral epicondylitis , and this is basically inflammation of this area where this tendon in- inserts . and probably that happened when you were moving those boxes . so we'll try some motrin , uh , about 800 milligrams every six hours . uh , i'll give you a sling for comfort , just so you can use it if- if it's causing a lot of pain .
[patient] hmm .
[doctor] and it should get better , uh , in about , you know , in a couple of days it should be improved . and if it does n't get better , give us a call and we'll see you some time next week . okay ? so we'll give you a sling , we'll give you the motrin , i'll give you about , uh , 30 , uh , uh , 30 , uh , uh , medications for that . uh , do you have any questions ?
[patient] no , no . thank you .
[doctor] hey dragon , order the medications and the procedures . all right , why do n't you come with me and we'll get you signed out ?
[patient] okay , sounds good .

[doctor] okay . all right . um , any nausea or vomiting ?
[patient] not really . yeah . maybe a bit of nausea .
[doctor] okay .
[patient] i- sitting at the back of a car , that makes me nauseous at times .
[doctor] okay . all right . um , well , how are you doing in terms of your knee replacement . i know you had that done last year . that's going okay ?
[patient] mm , it seems okay . yeah .
[doctor] okay . you're walking around without a problem ?
[patient] yup , yup . just not good enough to run yet , but everything else works just fine .
[doctor] all right .
um , and i know a few years ago , you had , had that scare with the possible lung cancer , but then they did the biopsy and , and you've been fine .
[patient] yup , yup . all good .
[doctor] turned out to be benign .
[patient] yup .
[doctor] okay . great . all right . well , let's go ahead and do a quick physical exam . so looking at you , you do n't appear in any distress . your heart is regular . your lungs sound nice and clear . you have some tenderness to the right lower quadrant to palpation of your abdomen . your lower extremities have no edema .
[doctor] um , all right . well , let's go ahead and look at your labs , okay ?
[patient] yup .
[doctor] hey , dragon , show me the hemoglobin . yeah , so your hemoglobin is 8.2 , which is quite low for somebody of your height and weight , so we'll have to look into that a , a little bit further . i know that they did the endoscopy in the emergency room . hey , dragon , show me the endoscope results .
[doctor] good . so it looks like you had some gastritis , which is just inflammation of your stomach and they also found a slight polyp , which i know that they biopsied and the results are pending at this time . um , so , you may have had some bleeding from the gastritis . it's not usual for people to have bleeding from that .
[doctor] um , okay , well , hey , dragon , show me the anemia panel . okay .
[doctor] anyway , okay . well , vincent , i think , you know , in terms of , my impression of you is that you've had this newfound anemia and for that , i think that we should go ahead and put you on protonix , 40 milligrams , once a day to help with the gastritis . does that sound okay to you ?
[patient] it does . you're the doctor . i do n't know what it is .
[doctor] so that's just , uh , what we call a proton pump inhibitor which , uh , helps decrease the amount of acid secreted within your stomach .
[patient] got it . makes sense .
[doctor] hey , hey , dragon , order protonix , 40 milligrams , once a day .
[doctor] and i'd like you to try to cut down on your caffeine 'cause that can also irritate your stomach . try not to take any ibuprofen and try to cut down on any alcohol intake , okay ?
[patient] yup , yup . the coffee's the hard part .
[doctor] yeah . it always is . how about one , one , one eight-ounce cup a day ? okay ?
[patient] sure .
[doctor] um , and we'll go ahead and we'll see you in a couple weeks , okay ?
[patient] sure thing .
[doctor] i'm going through , uh , i'll also order another , uh , cbc on you . hey , dragon , order a complete blood count .
[doctor] all right . the nurse will be in soon . it's , you know , settle all that . i'll see you soon .
[patient] see you .
[doctor] hey , dragon , finalize the note .

[doctor] next patient is christine hernandez , uh , date of birth is january 13th , 1982 .
[doctor] hey , miss christine , how are you doing today ?
[patient] i'm good , thanks . how are you ?
[doctor] i'm pretty good . so it looks like you've completed the covid vaccine , that's great .
[patient] yes , i did .
[doctor] anything new since your last visit ?
[patient] no , i did all the tests that you had recommended me to take . i have n't been able to take the thyroid medicine , the one that you prescribed , as i'm still taking my old one . um , the price was a little high on the new one .
[doctor] okay , so did ... did you try the coupon that i gave you ?
[patient] i did not try the coupon , uh , there was a charge of $ 75 .
[doctor] okay , well , next time that ... that coupon should help , and it should only be about $ 3 .
[patient] okay , um ... i do n't have it , do you happen to have another one you can give me ?
[doctor] yep , right here .
[patient] wonderful , thank you so much , and ... and then the gel , they are charging me $ 100 for it . so , i do n't know if this is because it's a ... it's wal-mart , or if i should try somewhere else , or ... maybe you know how or where i can get it cheaper .
[doctor] yeah , let's try something else , um ... sometimes it can be cheaper if we just prescribe you the individual ingredients of a medication , rather than the , the combined medication itself .
[patient] that would be great .
[doctor] so , that's clindamycin gel and benzoyl peroxide , uh , maybe by doing them separately , they could be a lot cheaper . so , that we can do . the unithroid , with the discount code , should only be about $ 9 for 90 days .
[patient] okay , that would be great . yeah , they were charging me $ 75 , and i just could n't pay that .
[doctor] maybe we'll try different pharmacy , as well .
[patient] okay . so , do you think that my weight gain could have been the birth control that i was taking before that caused it ?
[doctor] maybe . i do n't really see an endocrine cause for it , at least , so i would need to see the , the hyperandrogynism or high testosterone . or , a high dhea , to cause acne , or hair growth , or any of that stuff . but , the numbers are n't showing up out of range .
[patient] okay .
[doctor] i really do n't see any endocrine cause for it , like i said . your growth hormone was fine , but we definitely want to and need to treat it . um , i do n't know if we talked about maybe a little weight loss study .
[patient] you mentioned the weight loss study , and you mentioned that i have some meal plans , um , that you had given me . i still have those , too .
[doctor] have you tried to make any changes in the diet since the last time we spoke ?
[patient] i've been trying to get better . i will start back at the gym in july , because of my contract , i had to put a hold on it until then .
[doctor] okay .
[patient] so , i do want to start doing that . i will be a little freer since , um , i'll be on vacation after july 8th .
[doctor] okay , good .
[patient] and then my cousin was telling me to ask you about cla , because it's supposed to help your metabolism . is that okay to take ?
[doctor] um , i'm not sure . what is c , cla ?
[patient] i'm not sure what it is , either .
[doctor] okay , well , i'm unfamiliar with it , so ...
[patient] okay . i also have a coworker who has a thyroid issue too , and she suggested to try chromium for weight loss .
[doctor] so , that likely will not help too much . you can try either , if you really want to , but then ... it will not accept you into the weight loss study if you try those two .
[patient] okay .
[doctor] chromium is just a supplement and it wo n't help that much .
[patient] it wo n't , okay , thank you .
[doctor] it wo n't hurt ... okay , i should n't say that it wo n't hurt , but , it also wo n't help that much . so , it's up to you .
[patient] okay . and so , my cousin also suggested amino acids , and that i might find them in certain foods , i guess , for my workout .
[doctor] yeah . amino acids are fine , they wo n't , wo n't really help with weight loss either , but it might help , uh , you replenish , and just kind of , feel hydrated .
[patient] okay . are they proteins ? um , my cousin said she had lost some weight , and has been working out every day , but she does n't work , so ... i do n't know .
[doctor] yes , amino acids are what make up the protein , which is in any food you eat , with any protein . so , meats , dairy , nuts , any of that sort of thing .
[patient] okay , thank you . got it .
[doctor] all right . um , are you allergic to any medications ?
[patient] no , not that i know of .
[doctor] okay . is your s- skin pretty sensitive ?
[patient] yes .
[doctor] all right .
[patient] um , yeah , my size , i will start getting rashes , with different products .
[doctor] and have you ever tried clindamycin topical , as an antibiotic for your acne ?
[patient] no , i've never tried anything for it .
[doctor] okay . we might give you some of that .
[patient] okay . and i also want to mention that my feet do swell up a lot .
[doctor] okay . i'm ... let me take a look at that for just a moment . um , any constipation ?
[patient] yes , i also do have that problem .
[doctor] all right . mira- miralax will definitely help with that .
[patient] okay , yes , my doctor did also recommend that .
[doctor] great . all right , let's do an exam real quick . please have a seat on this table and i'll listen to your lungs and heart .
[patient] okay .
[doctor] all right , deep breath . all right , again .
[patient] okay .
[doctor] all right , sounds good .
[patient] great .
[doctor] let me take a look at your feet and ankles .
[patient] okay .
[doctor] all right , they look okay right now , certainly let your doctor know about this if it gets any worse or reoccurs .
[patient] okay , i will do that .
[doctor] now , let's go over your lab work . so , when you took that pill , the dexamethasone test , you passed , which means you do n't have cushing's syndrome . on that test , at least . the salivary cortisol , though , unless you did one wrong ... two of them were completely normal and one was abnormal , so , we might need to repeat that in the future .
[patient] okay , that's okay .
[doctor] all right , so , your cholesterol was quite high . the total cholesterol was 222 . the good cholesterol was about 44 . the bad was 153 , and it should be less than 100 . the non-hdl was about 178 , and it should be less than 130 . the good cholesterol should be over 50 , and it was 44 . so , your screen for diabetes is ... was fine . you do have a vitamin d deficiency , and , i do n't know if we started the vitamin d yet , or not .
[patient] yes , we did . i- i do need to take one today , though .
[doctor] okay . so , i also checked a lot of other pituitary hormones , iron levels ... everything else seemed to be pretty good , and in decent range .
[patient] okay , that sounds great . so , i wanted to also show you my liver enzymes , um , because i have n't come back since then ... but i was also happy , because one of them was back to normal .
[doctor] okay , great . let's see them .
[patient] okay . so , the one that's 30 , that was almost 200 not so long ago .
[doctor] yeah , your alt was about 128 .
[patient] okay , and , and back in october was 254 .
[doctor] yeah , this is much better .
[patient] okay , great . and then it dropped in january , and then it dropped a little more in march , since i stopped taking the medicine in december .
[doctor] okay , that's good . so ... i'm proud of you with the course of your labs , so before i forget , i'm going to , uh , just put your labs into the computer today , and i wo n't be checking your vitamin d level for some time .
[patient] okay . so , with the thyroid , and the low vitamin d , does that always happen together ?
[doctor] um , i do have a lot of people that have thyroid , thyroid issues and they have vitamin d deficiency .
[patient] okay .
[doctor] this is what i'm , um , i'm going to do . i'm going to put , print out your prescriptions , so you can shop around at the pharmacies and see if you can find better prices .
[patient] okay , that way i can go ask them and try cvs .
[doctor] yeah , that sounds like a plan .
[patient] okay , good . so , the weight loss study that you mentioned , when does that start ? or , how does that work ?
[doctor] so , we are about to start , as we just got approval last week , and we are just waiting on our paperwork so we can get started .
[patient] okay , and what's involved with that ?
[doctor] so , it'll involve you receiving a medication which has been used for diabetes treatment , and it works mostly in the gut on satiety , or satiety hormones . um , the most common side effects are going to be nausea , vomiting , diarrhea and constipation . they are s- uh , six arms , to the study . one is a placebo , the other ones are a , various as ... various dosages of the medication , excuse me . um , you would receive an injection once a week . also , keep in mind that most of the weight loss medications are not covered by insurance .
[patient] okay .
[doctor] so , it's a way of getting them , but , the odds of getting one of the arms with the medication that are in your favor , right , might be only one out of five of our hundred patients that we have on the list for the study that will receive the placebo .
[patient] okay .
[doctor] does that make sense ?
[patient] yes , it does .
[doctor] so , we do expect pretty big weight loss , because of what we learn in diabetes study . so , it's a year long , uh , process , and it's an injection once a week . you come in weekly for the first four , five weeks , i believe . and then , after that , it's once a month . you do get a stipend for partici- for participating in the study , and parking is validated , and whatever else that you need for the study .
[patient] okay , do you know how much the stipend is ?
[doctor] um , i will have to double check for you , and , you do n't have to be my patient , you just have to meet the criteria . so the criteria is a bmi greater than 30 , if you do n't have any other medical condition . or , a bmi greater than 27 , if you do have another medical condition , like your cholesterol . um , a bmi greater than 27 would quali- uh , qualify you .
[patient] i have a friend who might be interested , and she does have diabetes .
[doctor] if she has d- diabetes , then she wo n't qualify .
[patient] okay , you ca n't if you ... if you have diabetes , got it .
[doctor] correct . yeah , the only thing that , um , they can not have , really , is diabetes . so , either a psychiatric disease , or schizophrenia , bipolar , things like that .
[patient] okay .
[doctor] but , if they have hypertension , high cholesterol , things like that ... they can definitely sign up .
[patient] and they can , okay . thank you for explaining that .
[doctor] of course . so , do you want me to try to get you into that study ? or , would you just like to try , me to prescribe something ? it's kind of up to you .
[patient] i think i'll just wait for a little bit now .
[doctor] all right , sounds good . i'll give you the information for the research , it's just in my office . um , it is a different phone number , though . so then , if you're interested , just call us within a month , because i do n't know how long , uh , the , the wait will be .
[patient] okay , will do .
[doctor] perfect . so , let me go grab your discount card for the unithroid . um , when you go in to activate it , the instructions are on this card , and then you use your insurance ... then , show them this , and ask how much it'll cost . if it's too expensive , just let me know .
[patient] i will . thank you so much for your help on that .
[doctor] you're welcome . then , what i did is , i gave you a topical antibiotic , plus i gave you the benzoyl peroxide . so , the peroxide may bleach your sheets , but , you want to make sure to take it and apply it at night , so you do n't have a reaction from the sun during the day .
[patient] okay , i can do that .
[doctor] but , you do also want to make sure that you do n't mess up your sheets .
[patient] okay , sounds good .
[doctor] um , so , that's that . and then , let's see how you do on the other medications . i think this will , this will get better . in the meantime , a low-carb diet , avoid alcohol and fatty foods , and low chole- cholesterol foods .
[patient] okay .
[doctor] and again , once you finish your dose of vitamin d , for the vitamin d deficiency , you're gon na start with the 2000iu daily , so that you're able to maintain those levels . sound good ?
[patient] yes , that sounds great .
[doctor] i really think your liver enzymes are going to get better once you lose the weight , though .
[patient] okay , that would be great .
[doctor] since we stopped your birth control , we can try once called phexxi , which is kind of like a spermicide , basically .
[patient] okay .
[doctor] and you just apply it before intercourse .
[patient] okay .
[doctor] if you need some , uh , just let me know .
[patient] okay , i will . i'll let you know .
[doctor] okay , perfect . so , stay put for me now . i'm going to go see if they have discount samples , and bring you that prescription . and then , i'm going to order the labs for next time .
[patient] okay , great , thank you so much .
[doctor] you're welcome .
[doctor] so , under the plan , under abnormal liver enzymes , they have improved since discontinuation of her birth control . under abnormal weight gain , her dexamethasone suppression test was normal . two out of three salivary cortisol tests were normal , not consistent with cushing's , and therefore we're ruling out cushing's . under her hirsutism , her androgen levels were normal . for the acne vulgaris , the epiduo was not covered , so we'll try benzoyl peroxide with clindamycin , and remove the previous information . on the hyperthyroidism , we'll print out her prescriptions . unithroid should be better priced with the discount card , and we'll repeat levels of everything before next visit . thanks .

[doctor] this is philip gutierrez , date of birth 1/12/71 . he is a 50-year-old male here for a second opinion regarding the index finger on the right hand . he had a hyperextension injury of that index finger during a motor vehicle accident in march of this year . he was offered an injection of the a1 polyregion , but did not want any steroid because of the reaction to dexamethasone , which causes his heart to race . he was scheduled to see dr. alice davis , which it does n't appear he did . he had an mri of that finger , because there was concern about a capsular strain plus or minus rupture of , quote , " fds tendon , " end quote . he has been seen at point may orthopedics largely by the physical therapy staff and a pr , pa at that institution .
[doctor] at that practice , an mri was obtained on 4/24/2021 , which showed just focal soft tissue swelling over the right index mcp joint , partial-thickness tear of the right fds , and fluid consistent with tenosynovitis around the fdp and fds tendons . radial and ulnar collateral ligaments of the index mcp joint were intact , as the mcp joint capsule . extensor tendons also deemed intact .
[doctor] his x-rays , four views of the right hand today , show no bony abnormalities , joint congruency throughout all lesser digits on the right hand , no soft tissue shadows of concern , no arthritis . hi , how are you , mr . gutierrez ?
[patient] i'm good , how about you ?
[doctor] well , how can i help you today ?
[patient] so i was a passenger in , uh , a car that was rear-ended , and we were hit multiple times . i felt two bumps , which slung me forward and caused me to stretch out my right index finger .
[doctor] so hitting the car in front of you all made that finger go backwards ?
[patient] um , i do n't really know . i just felt , like , it felt like i laid on my finger , and so , i felt like it went back , and it's been hurting since about march . and it's been like that ever , ever since the wreck happened . so i , and i ca n't make a fist , but sometimes the pain's unbearable . and , like , even driving hurts .
[doctor] okay , so this was march of this year , so maybe about three months ago ?
[patient] yeah , and it's still swollen . so i was seeing , uh , an orthopedist , and they sent me to an occupational therapist . and i've been doing therapy with them , and then they sent me to go back and get an mri . so i went and got the mri . uh , then they told me that the mri came back , and it said i had a tear in my finger , but he was n't gon na give me an injection , because the injection was going to make the tear worse .
[doctor] mm-hmm .
[patient] and then , after he got the mri , he said that i have , uh , a tear in my finger , and that he did n't wan na do surgery , but he would do an injection . then i'm thinking that you told me you would n't do an injection in there , and then the oper- , occupational therapy says it's because of the tear . and then , they do n't want me to keep rubbing the thing , and doing things with my hand . so i feel like i'm not getting medical care , really .
[doctor] yeah , i see that .
[patient] so i came to see if you could do anything for this hand , because i am right-handed , and i kinda need that hand .
[doctor] what do you do for a living ?
[patient] uh , i'm an x-ray tech .
[doctor] well , um , so do you have any diabetes or rheumatoid arthritis ?
[patient] nope .
[doctor] uh , do you take any chronic medications of su- , significance ?
[patient] uh , i do take a blood pressure pill , and that's it .
[doctor] okay , and it looks like you suffer from itching with the methylprednisolone ?
[patient] uh , that's correct .
[doctor] all right , well , i'm gon na scoot up closer and just take a quick look at your hand . all right , so , lean over here . all right , so on this exam today , we have a very pleasant , cooperative , healthy male , no distress . his heart rate is regular rate , rhythm , 2+ radial pulse , no swelling or bruise , bruising in the palm over the volar surface of his index finger , normal creases , slightly diminished over the pip of the index finger compared to the middle finger .
[doctor] his index finger rests in a 10-degree pip-flexed , uh , position . all right , is that uncomfortable to correct that , and is it uncomfortable now here ?
[patient] yeah , uh , when you push on it , yeah .
[doctor] all right , how about here ?
[patient] um , there , it's not .
[doctor] okay , not as bad ?
[patient] yeah , it feels , uh , a little numb .
[doctor] gotcha , all right . bend , bend the tip of this finger . bend it as hard as you can . keep bending . keep bending . all right , straighten it out . all right , and now , bend it for me as best you can .
[patient] my goodness . it feels like it's , it's tearing in there .
[doctor] okay , okay . well , bend the tip of this finger , and bend it as hard as you can . keep bending . all right , straighten that out , and now , bend it for me as best you can . all right , good . now , bend that finger , and i'm going to pull , put it down like this . and then bend that finger for me . okay , sorry , can you bend it for me ? all right . now , make a fist . great , so relax the finger . all right , so just keep it , keep , when i bend the finger , we're just going to bend that finger where it meets the hand . is that okay there ?
[patient] ow , .
[doctor] okay , okay . so all the hurt , it seems , is stretching , because you have n't been doing this for so long . so , you know what i mean ? so , um , you're going to have to start really doing that .
[patient] well , i've tried . i even bought myself a splint .
[doctor] well , but a splint does n't help move you . it actually immobilizes you .
[patient] okay . i thought it would straighten it out .
[doctor] no , no . so , so you really need to start bending the finger right here for me , as hard as you can , and keep going , going . all right , so , so you're okay . all right , so i would say the following , that there is a partial tear in one of the two flexor tendons . there is the fdp and the fds , and the fds is the least important of the two . so the mri shows that it's the fds , the flexor digitorum superficialis , which is the least important of the two .
[patient] okay .
[doctor] uh , now , there's two halves of it . so it's a partial tear of one half of a whole tendon . that's not that important , and the other one is just fine .
[patient] so the good one is good ?
[doctor] yes , correct . so the one that goes all the way to the tip is good .
[patient] okay , good .
[doctor] yeah , so you know , i think what you have got so much scar tissue and inflammation around the fds tendon blocking excursion of these other tendons , that they ca n't get through to the pulley .
[patient] okay , all right .
[doctor] so what i would recommend what we try is a cortisone injection , and i would avoid the dexamethasone , because i saw you have a little reaction to that . but we could use the betamethasone , which is a celestone .
[patient] i've gotten another , uh , methylprednisolone , and that itched me like crazy .
[doctor] did it ? yeah , this one is water-soluble , and i think it's fairly low toxicity , but high benefit , and i think decreasing the pain will encourage you to move that finger .
[patient] all right , we'll give it a try .
[doctor] good . so , you do the shot , and it's going to take about three to five days before it starts feeling better . and then probably over the next couple of weeks , it'll start feeling even better .
[patient] perfect .
[doctor] all right , so take advantage of that . you've got ta start moving the finger . you're not going to tear anything or break a bone , uh , because your intensors , extensors are intact . but your collateral ligaments are intact , so you've got a stiff , sore finger . i'm going to try to help as much as i can with this soreness part , and then you have to do all the stiff part .
[patient] the lady in occupational therapy tried some maneuvers to straighten the finger out , but it even hurt after i left . the whole thing just swelled up .
[doctor] hmm . okay , so it was injured , and you had scar tissue . and then , you had post-traumatic inflammation . and so , this will help some with all of that . it's not going to make it to where your finger is like , , my finger does n't hurt at all , but it will make it to where at least tolerable , to where you can make some gains . and we actually might need to repeat this as well .
[patient] will i be able to drive ? i drove myself here today , so ...
[doctor] yeah , it may feel a little weird , but it's totally safe for you to drive .
[patient] okay , good .
[doctor] so for mr . gutierrez , just put that he has a post-traumatic rather severe stenosing tenosynovitis of his right index finger , and the plan is steroid injection today , do a trigger injection , but i'm using a cc of betamethasone . so , mr . gutierrez , do you have , um , therapy scheduled or set up ?
[patient] uh , not at the moment .
[doctor] all right , well , i mean , you know that you need to move that finger , and i think to the degree that they can help you do that . so i want you to move that finger , finger , but i think it would be , uh , beneficial for you to have an accountability , um , so at least you know to check in with them once a week with somebody .
[patient] um , okay . that's kinda why i'm here , for you to tell me what needs to be done , you know ?
[doctor] yeah , so i'll write you out , um , an outpatient prescription . i think if you go back to the same people where you were before , i'm hoping that after this injection , you're going to be able to do a whole lot more with them . so let's do outpatient once a week for six weeks , um , and then full active and passive range of motion is the goal with no restrictions .
[patient] all right , sounds like a plan .
[doctor] all right , well , i will have the nurse set up the injection procedure , and we'll , and i'll be back shortly .
[patient] thanks , doc .
[doctor] right trigger finger injection template . attempted to inject one cc of celestone with f- , a half a cc of lidocaine . however , the patient had a dramatic and violent painful reaction to the introduction of the needle , with contortions of the hand , and with dangerously withdrawing the hand with concerns for secondary needle stick . needle was withdrawn . the patient was counseled as to the importance of attempting to get some therapeutic steroid in the flexor tendon sheath . we attempted a second time for a similar injection using the same technique with one cc of celestone and half a cc of lidocaine . a small parma- , uh , palmar vein bled a scant amount , which was cleaned up and band-aid applied . reassured on multiple occasions that no harm was done to his finger . recommended icing in it this evening , and taking ibuprofen .

[doctor] next patient is paul edwards , date of birth is january 15th 1962 . so he's a 59 year old hiv positive gentleman here for hypogonadism . patient was last seen on november 24th 2020 . his notable things are number one , he is on 1 milliliter every 10 days , uh , his levels were less than 300 to begin with . he's on finasteride currently . he also takes cialis daily so he takes all his pills just from me . um , patient's other area of concern is gynecomastia which is ... which we will discuss with him today . his last psa was 0.66 and his last testosterone was greater than 1,500 .
[doctor] hey , how are you today ?
[patient] all right , how have you been ?
[doctor] i'm good .
[patient] good , good .
[doctor] have you lost some weight or are you at least putting on some muscle ? you look trim .
[patient] no , i think i'm pretty much the same as i've always been .
[doctor] really ? okay , maybe it's just your black shirt . makes you look thin .
[patient] yeah , i guess that's it .
[doctor] so health wise , how is everything going ?
[patient] good , the testosterone's going well .
[doctor] that's great .
[patient] uh , it helped me out . i feel good , more vigorous , sleeping well and i think it's having some positive effects . not so much physically because like i said i've- i've been this way my whole life , but i'm seeing some good improvements in my bloodwork .
[doctor] okay , well that's good .
[patient] so the finasteride i'm only taking half a pill , it's the 5 milligram one .
[doctor] yeah , i remember you telling me that .
[patient] and cialis , on the days i work out i take 5 milligrams otherwise i take two and a half milligram pills , but , uh , i have been out of it .
[doctor] okay .
[patient] but overall i'm doing well , i'm actually taking the correct steps to get my life together .
[doctor] good . it's always great to hear . well let's take a look . uhm , i'm gon na listen to your heart and lungs .
[patient] okay .
[doctor] please use my general exam template , all right . just take a few breaths .
[patient] okay .
[doctor] in and out .
[patient] okay .
[doctor] all right , everything sounds good , no concerns there .
[patient] great . so i wanted to show you something .
[doctor] sure .
[patient] look at this .
[doctor] okay , this is your cholesterol ?
[patient] yeah , my cholesterol and triglycerides . uh , i used to have high triglycerides , you see they were 265 milligrams per deciliter , and i took my first dose of the testosterone on the 28th .
[doctor] right .
[patient] now 5 months later look at my numbers .
[doctor] wow , that's remarkable .
[patient] is it the test ? it's the only change .
[doctor] i do n't know , i have n't honestly seen many guys over the years that have cholesterol problems and this . i mean there's a big correlation between diabetic control and testosterone replacement , meaning those who get good levels of their test see their diabetic control improve .
[patient] yeah .
[doctor] but i have n't seen a lot of data on the impact on cholesterol . regardless , we will take it .
[patient] i agree . i was very impressed with my triglycerides and was just wondering if the test may be what's helping .
[doctor] yeah , that's an unbelievable difference .
[patient] 145 milligrams per deciliter from 265 milligrams per deciliter is awesome . i also read that it- it's cardioprotective .
[doctor] absolutely .
[patient] my red blood cell count has increased .
[doctor] yeah , i saw that . it's fine though .
[patient] stable .
[doctor] your psa today is also , uh , is good also . it's , uh , .6 i think .
[patient] yeah . , is it ?
[doctor] yeah , it was .5 last year and anything under 4 is good .
[patient] nice , that's good news .
[doctor] so it just needs to be checked every year or so .
[patient] so in terms of , uh , estrogen control i've been hearing that indole-3-carbinol , or broccoli extract , supposedly can improve my estrogen levels . have you ever heard of it ?
[doctor] yeah , i've heard of it but i have n't had anybody consistently use it . i mean , your levels are fine and we checked your estra- estradiol and it was not elevated , so .
[patient] okay .
[doctor] i would argue that we could test that in the fall if you want , but we do n't need to do , uh , do any more tests ... any more than test once a year , excuse me .
[patient] okay , what about increasing my testosterone to 175 milligrams ? i'm at 140 now .
[doctor] well , your levels are high .
[patient] are they right now ?
[doctor] well , i mean they were last time .
[patient] yeah but i just- just injected though , or i had right before that was taken .
[doctor] i know . i know you had then , uh , when did you inject this time ?
[patient] i figure i'm on my eighth day today .
[doctor] okay .
[patient] so i'm due to dose on thursday or friday .
[doctor] all right .
[patient] i have a little med calendar and i put checks and ts on it . that helps me .
[doctor] that's a great idea . so look , the biggest issue i've seen , even if your levels today are around 700 , is that your peaks are getting greater than 1,500 , putting you at a higher chance of needing to come off due to blood thickness . and your risk will only astronomically go up the higher the dose that we go on .
[patient] okay .
[doctor] you look well , your levels are good and you're feeling well .
[patient] yeah , i'm feeling good .
[doctor] i'm going to be blunt . unfortunately this happens often where you're feeling good but you want to feel really good . i mean , i get it and this is why people get into problems with this stuff , right ? it's like , back in the day when it was n't prescribed by doctors and people would get it at gyms and stuff and they would take huge doses . and then they would have a heart attack at 50 .
[patient] yeah , they have to be taking a lot .
[doctor] likely they are taking more than testosterone , but still .
[patient] and they are taking stuff for a long time .
[doctor] true . but right now i would not change your dose .
[patient] okay .
[doctor] make sense ?
[patient] it does , i appreciate the discussion .
[doctor] no problem . what pharmacy are you using ? have you changed it or anything ?
[patient] no changes , i use walmart pharmacy . i do need more cialis and finasteride .
[doctor] okay .
[patient] i would prefer the paper prescription .
[doctor] for all of them ?
[patient] sure .
[doctor] all right , will do . i'm gon na get your prescriptions .
[patient] okay , thank you .

[doctor] patient is pamela cook . medical record number is 123546 . she's a 36-year-old female post bilateral reduction mammoplasty on 10-10 20-20 .
[doctor] hey , how are you ?
[patient] good . how are you ?
[doctor] i'm doing well . it's good to see you . how have you been ?
[patient] i've been doing good .
[doctor] great . how about your breasts , are they doing all right ?
[patient] great .
[doctor] are you having any chills , fever , nausea , or vomiting ?
[patient] no .
[doctor] good . all right . let's take a peek real quick .
[patient] sure .
[doctor] how's life otherwise ? pretty good ? nothing new ?
[patient] no , just enjoying summertime .
[doctor] okay . how's your family ?
[patient] they're good .
[doctor] good . all right . i'm going to take a look at your breast now . if you would just open up your gown for me .
[doctor] everything looks good .
[patient] yeah .
[doctor] how's your back pain ?
[patient] i'm not really having any more .
[doctor] any hard spots , lumps , or bumps that you've noticed ?
[patient] i did when i came in last time when i saw your pa , ruth sanchez in march . she said i , she said she found a lump right here under my left breast , but i have n't felt it since then . but i did the massages .
[doctor] okay , well . that that's good . uh , it's probably just the scar tissue , but everything looks good and you're healing wonderful , so .
[patient] i told her that the scars here was kind of bothering me and i got scar gel . i was using it everyday , but i do n't think i need it now .
[doctor] yeah , that scar did widen a little bit . let me take a closer look , hang on . this one widened a little too , ? the incisions are well healed though with no signs of infection or any redness on either breast , so i'm not concerned .
[patient] yeah , but this one just bothered me a little bit more .
[doctor] i understand . um , you can close your gown now .
[doctor] the only thing that is really going to help out that is to uh , to cut it out and re-close it .
[patient]
[doctor] and you do n't want that , ?
[patient] i mean , not right now .
[doctor] um , you want to come back and revisit um , maybe six months ?
[patient] yeah , i will do that . i still have n't , i still have some more of the gel and i can try using that again .
[doctor] okay . keep doing that twice a day . the gel is going to lighten the color a little bit , which is already pretty light . um , but , just in that area , and it's high tension , so it's going to rub a little bit .
[patient] yeah , but it kind of bothers me a little bit .
[doctor] uh , i do see that . like i said , the only way to really fix that is to cut it out .
[patient] uh- .
[doctor] um , let's take a look in six months and then we'll go from there . sound like a plan ?
[patient] but we have n't hit a full year yet .
[doctor] i know . um , i would n't do any revisions anyway for scar tissue until we're at least a year out anyway .
[patient] okay .
[doctor] so let's wait those six months . you can keep using uh , the mederma scar gel twice a day . massage and scar gel will help for the scars . um , you can put it on other scars too , if you need .
[patient] okay .
[doctor] um , so that's what i would do . let's just get some pictures today so we can keep up um , with them . and keep an eye on these scars and then we'll go from there .
[patient] sounds good .
[doctor] all right , well it's good to see you . i'm glad you're doing well .
[patient] yeah , same here .
[doctor] all right . well , i'm going to tell the front desk six months and we'll revisit those scars .
[patient] all right .
[doctor] thank you . they're gon na come get your photos now , okay ?
[patient] okay .

[doctor] next patient is nicole miller . date of birth is 09/18/1949 . patient was called for a follow-up with me for chronic congestive heart failure with diastolic dysfunction . bmp's been , uh , 3,000 in march , and is about six- was up to 6,000 in april . she was increasingly dyspneic . we changed her furosemide and torsemide 20 milligrams by mouth daily . uh to note , the patient is not currently on potassium supplement . her lisinopril had- has also been increased up to 10 milligrams daily in march . also did when i saw her last april . she reported being interested in having her right knee replaced this summer at east metro . it was recommended that we work to control her cardiovascular status before surgery .
[doctor] hey , miss miller , how are you today ?
[patient] i'm doing okay , thank you .
[doctor] i asked you to come in today because we want to keep- we want you to have this knee surgery this summer but we want to keep a close eye on you to make sure a week before your surgery you do n't suddenly go into congestive heart failure and it gets postponed .
[patient] yeah , that would not be good .
[doctor] i see you're scheduled on the 24th for surgery .
[patient] yeah , that's right .
[doctor] okay , good . well it looks like you have lost about 3 , 3 and a half pounds since i saw you last in april . some of that might be water weight , but still , this is positive .
[patient] yeah , i noticed that too . i think the oxyglutinine is helping as well . my urgency to use the bathroom is much better .
[doctor] well that's great .
[patient] yeah , i , i'm pleased about it too .
[doctor] you ever get leg or finger cramps or anything like that ?
[patient] yeah , i had leg cramps the other day , but i thought it might , was maybe just because i was cold as i had my ceiling fan on and fell asleep . i had cramps when i woke up in both legs right here . um i drank pickle juice and it went right away .
[doctor] well do n't , do n't get crazy with the pickle juice because all of the salt in it .
[patient] haha , i know , i only drink about 4 ounces or so .
[doctor] okay good .
[patient] um it went away so i did n't drink anymore . i find it works a lot better than trying to put some cream on my leg .
[doctor] sure just , just keep it in moderation .
[patient] okay .
[doctor] and then are you still on an iron supplement ? and are you using the bathroom okay ?
[patient] uh yes , everything is good .
[doctor] good . how is your heart burn doing ? any problems with that ?
[patient] no , it did get bad for a while so i tried to take some prilosec and then stopped that other one .
[doctor] okay .
[patient] um i did that for like , gosh , i think it was two weeks back in january and have n't had any problems since .
[doctor] great .
[patient] um and after i stopped taking that um i went back to the stomach one , so i'm doing good now .
[doctor] okay and you're still due for a colonoscopy , correct ?
[patient] uh yeah , that's right .
[doctor] all right , let's review your blood work real quick . i checked your hemoglobin level because you have had some anemia in the past but that is still doing great .
[patient] good , that's a relief to hear .
[doctor] your potassium is 3.9 so it's holding steady on the torsemide . your creatinine was .7 not .8 so you're doing well with kidney numbers . your bun may be a tiny bit elevated at 23 which is the number we look for for dehydration sometimes the kidneys , but it's not terrible . um so when i look at your numbers as a whole i think you're tolerating the torsemide okay at the current dose . i also sent out to look at the heart failure number- i sent to look at your heart failure number . there is a test called a bmp that i was monitoring and in march it was up to 3,000 and then went up to 6,000 in april before i made the change . i'm still waiting for those results .
[patient] okay .
[doctor] all in all i think you're doing good on paper though .
[patient] what about , um what's it called , a1c ? does that show up ?
[doctor] um i do n't think i ordered it but i could . your last a1c was 5.5 in march .
[patient] all righty .
[doctor] so your blood sugar is a little bit high , it was 169 today but that kind of depends on what you ate and you were n't fasting for the blood check so i might have to repeat that test for pre-op , but i do n't think we need to do it today .
[patient] all righty that sounds good .
[doctor] i checked your magnesium level because sometimes you uh urinate out magnesium with the water pills but it was normal at 1.7 and your blood pressure is also looking good .
[patient] okay great . that all sounds awesome .
[doctor] all right let's take a quick listen .
[doctor] use my general physical exam template .
[doctor] and take a couple of deep breaths for me .
[doctor] your lungs sound pretty good to me so keep doing what you're doing . um uh , like i said , i think you're doing good overall but let's just talk about a few things .
[patient] all righty .
[doctor] so we often like to keep people with heart problems on magnesium and get their levels up to around the 2-ish range . yours is a little bit less than 2 and we want that 2-ish range because it can help stabilize the heart muscle . so i might recommend putting you on magnesium supplement . it's supposed to be twice a day so that's kind of annoying , but i know you're on other medicines twice a day too , so i think you'll do fine .
[patient] yeah , that'll be okay .
[doctor] great . now before surgery we'll have to get you off your clopidogrel for a week beforehand .
[patient] yes , okay , i have everything written down on my phone , and i have a letter taped to the side of my bed to remind me .
[doctor] perfect ! we will give you a reminder as well . we will also need to complete a pre-op check within two weeks of your surgery during the first or second week of june .
[patient] okay , i'll put that down .
[doctor] you might also have to repeat an ekg before surgery which we could do today . i know i'm sure it feels like you're doing , you're always doing ekgs . um we do n't need to any x-rays of your chest because you had one recently , and we do n't need any more blood work because we did that today .
[patient] yeah , i do a lot of ekgs . i'm basically a regular . but i'm happy to do one today , no problem .
[doctor] lastly , once we get your knee surgery , um we , we should think about getting you a colonoscopy . we can do it here locally because you have medicare . do you have private insurance also ?
[patient] yeah , i have both .
[doctor] okay so yes , you can get it , your colonoscopy , wherever you'd like .
[patient] okay , well my husband's insurance may be running out . might we be able to get the procedure done sooner ? maybe in the next 30 days ? is that okay ?
[doctor] um i can put it in right now for , uh , for county for the next 30 days , and they might be able to get you in within the next few weeks . it should not take , it should not make you ineligible for the surgery . in other words completing a colonoscopy would not delay your surgery .
[patient] okay , good .
[doctor] so let me see . i've been doing one of two things at every one , and everyone is great so it depends more on timing availability of their or for the colonoscopy . we can send you to dr. martin for the surgery who is at county surgical services down here or the other option is valley medical , and they do it at springfield .
[patient] okay , that sounds good .
[doctor] i think either direction they're good technicians of the colon .
[patient] okay , yeah whatever you can get me in , that works great .
[doctor] so i'll call around . now if you get that done and they tell you 10 years then you'll be good to go .
[patient] great , thank you .
[doctor] you're welcome . have a great day . let us know if you need anything else , okay ?
[patient] sounds good .
[doctor] all right , assessment and plan .
[doctor] chronic chf . mixed presentation . had a exacerbation of cf , chf earlier in the spring . we switched her from a furosemide to torsemide and symptomatically she is doing a lot better . she's about 3 , 3 and a half pounds down in weight . breathing is non-labored . going to repeat ekg today but otherwise continue with her current regimen . labs checked and creatinine is appropriate .
[doctor] uh number 2 , pre-op examination . she is , she's having a right knee replacement end of june . also , she would like to have a colonoscopy performed which we'll try to have done at uh bartley regional , rightley regional hospital in the next month , uh , prior to a change in her insurance . this is just a screening colonoscopy that she is overdue for . no family history of colon cancer .
[doctor] uh the next one is diabetes . a1c is 5.1 on the last check so no need for further a1c today . she may need another one prior to her surgery next month though . thanks .

[doctor] dictating on donald clark . date of birth , 03/04/1937 . chief complaint is left arm pain . hello , how are you ?
[patient] good morning .
[doctor] it's nice to meet you . i'm dr. miller .
[patient] it's nice to meet you as well .
[doctor] so , i hear you are having pain this arm . is that correct ?
[patient] that's correct .
[doctor] okay . and it seems like it's worse at night ?
[patient] well , right now the hand is .
[doctor] mm-hmm .
[patient] and the thing started about two weeks ago . i woke up about two o'clock in the morning and it was just hurting something awful .
[doctor] uh- .
[patient] and then i laid some ice on it and it finally did ease up .
[doctor] okay , that's good .
[patient] so i got up , i sat on the side of the bed and held my arm down , thinking it would , like , help the circulation , but it did n't .
[doctor] okay , i see .
[patient] and so , after a while , when it eased off , maybe about four , five am , i laid back down and it did n't start up again .
[doctor] mm-hmm , okay .
[patient] um . i went back to sleep but for several nights this happened , like , over and over . so , i finally went to see the doctor , and i do n't really recall her name .
[doctor] okay . yeah , i think i know who you're talking about , though .
[patient] um , she's the one who sent me to you , so , i , i would , i would think so . but when i went to her after the third time it happened and she checked me out , she said it was most likely coming from a pinched nerve .
[doctor] probably . uh , do you notice that moving your neck or turning your head seems to bother your arm ?
[patient] uh , no .
[doctor] okay . is moving your shoulder uncomfortable at all ?
[patient] no .
[doctor] and do you notice it at other times besides during the night ?
[patient] um , some days . if it bothers me at night , then the day following , it usually will bother me some .
[doctor] okay . and do you just notice it in the hand , or does it seem to be going down the whole arm ?
[patient] well , it starts there and goes all the way down the arm .
[doctor] okay . have you noticed any weakness in your hand at all ?
[patient] uh , yes .
[doctor] okay . like , in terms of gripping things ?
[patient] yeah .
[doctor] okay .
[patient] uh , this finger , i hurt it some time ago as well .
[doctor] really ?
[patient] yeah . it does n't work properly . or , it works very rarely .
[doctor] gotcha . and did i hear that she gave you some prednisone and some oral steroids , or ?
[patient] uh , well , she gave me some numbing medicine . it helped a little bit . the other two were a neck pill and gabapentin . uh , you should have my full list in your notes , though . since then it has n't really bothered me at night . also , just so you know , i am a va and i'm one percent disabled from this leg , um , issues from my knees down to my feet .
[doctor] okay . is it neuropathy ?
[patient] uh , yep .
[doctor] gotcha . that is good to know . all right , well , let's go ahead and take a look .
[patient] okay .
[doctor] all right . so , to start , i'm gon na have you do something for me . uh , just go ahead and tilt your chin as far as you can down to your chest . okay , good . and now , go the other way , tilting your chin up as far as you can . now , does that seem to bother you at all ? okay . and now , come back to normal , just look and turn your head as far as you can that way . great . and now , as far as you can towards that wall . uh , does that seem to bother you at all ?
[patient] no . well , actually , i do feel a little strain .
[doctor] okay . so , you feel it in the neck a little bit ?
[patient] yeah , just a little strain .
[doctor] okay . uh , now squeeze my fingers as hard as you can with both hands . great . now , hold your arms like this .
[patient] okay .
[doctor] and i'm going to try to strain your arms and try to keep them as stiff as you can . do n't let me strain it . okay , good . good . now , when i , i'm just touching your hands like this . does it seem to feel about the same in both hands ?
[patient] uh , yes .
[doctor] okay . all right . so , i do agree with betty . uh , more than likely , this seems like it would be coming from your neck . that's the most common reason that causes what , what you're experiencing . and i looked at an x-ray of your neck , and you do seem to have a lot of arthritis there , and there does seem to be potential for a disc to be pushing on a nerve . and now , what i do n't have is an mri , which would show me , uh , kind of exactly where the nerve roots are getting pinched off .
[patient] i see .
[doctor] so , gabapentin can help a little bit with the nerve pain , and what i would like to do is potentially set you up for an epidural . and what that is is it , it's a focused anti-inflammatory medicine , excuse me , that works behind the nerve roops that , nerve roots that we are thinking might be getting squished off . it can often help alleviate your symptoms , and i do need to get an mri of your neck . um , i know we have had one of your lower back , but i need one of your neck to see exactly where the roots are getting pinched off . so , what i can do is tentatively set you up for an epidural , but before you do that , we do need to get that mri so i can see right where i need to put the medicine for your epidural . uh , what do you think of that ?
[patient] i think that sounds good to me .
[doctor] okay , good . and just to confirm , do you take any blood thinners ? i do n't think i saw any on your medicine list .
[patient] uh , no , i do n't .
[doctor] okay , good . and what i would have you do is continue with the gabapentin . um , are you taking 300 or 100 ?
[patient] um , not sure . my lady friend helps me handle this stuff .
[doctor] okay .
[patient] i am taking eliquis , though .
[doctor] okay . um , so whatever you are doing you can just keep doing it , and i'm going to set you up for the epidural and imaging study , um , just so i know right where to put the medicine . and i will follow up with you after s- um , that's in . we can do the shot , just to make sure your arm is feeling better . sound good ?
[patient] sounds good . for the last couple of nights , though , my neck has not been bothering me .
[doctor] okay . s- um , so , presumably what's happening , then , is when you're sleeping your neck is kind of gets off-tilt , uh , kilter , and it compresses the nerve roots there . now , if you think you're doing fine , we could hold off , but at the very la- least , i'd like to update that mri of yours and see what's going on , because probably this is something that will likely flare up again .
[patient] yeah , it , it has been for the last week , so , i understand .
[doctor] okay . all right . well , do you want to do that work-up and do the epidural , or do you think you're doing fine and you want to wait ?
[patient] well , my hand is still bothering me .
[doctor] okay . so , you're saying your neck is not bothering you but the hand is . okay . so then , let's just stick with the plan . mri of the neck , so we can see where the nerve roots may be compressed , that's giving your hand the issue . and then , we're going to set you up with the epidural .
[patient] okay . sounds good .
[doctor] all right . so , keep going with the gabapentin . i will order the imaging of your neck , and the shot will hopefully help some with those symptoms in your hand , and then we'll follow up afterwards .
[patient] all right . is the mri today ?
[doctor] um , you probably ca n't do it today , but let me talk with roy and see how soon we can get it done . just give me a quick minute , and then roy will come in and get things scheduled as soon as we can .
[patient] all right .
[doctor] all right . well , it was nice meeting you , my friend .
[patient] you as well . thank you .
[doctor] physical exam , elderly white gentleman presents in a wheelchair . no apparent distress . per the template , down through neuro- neurologic . one plus bilateral biceps . triceps brachioradialis . reflexes bilateral all negative . follow up and take out the lower extremities . gait not assessed today . strength and sensation is per the template . uh , upper and lower extremities . musculoskeletal , he is non-tender over his cervical spine . he does have mildly restricted cervical exte- extension . right and left lateral rotation which is symmetric , which gives him mild lateral neck pain but no radi- radicular pain . spurling's maneuver is benign .
[doctor] paragraph , diagnostics . cervical x-ray 6421 . cervical x-ray reveals significant disc degeneration at c56 , and to a lower extent c45 and c34 . significant lower lumbar facet arthropathy c67 and c7-t1 is difficult to visualize in the current x-rays .
[doctor] paragraph , impression . number one , left upper extremity neuropathy suspicious for cervical radicularopathy . possible contribution of peripheral neuropathy . number two , neck pain in the setting of arthritis disc degeneration .
[doctor] paragraph , plan . i suspect that this is a flare of cervical radicularopathy . i'm going to set him up for a cervical mri , and we'll tentatively plan for a left c7-t1 epidural afterwards , although the exact location will be pending the mri results . he'll continue his home exercise program as well as twice a day gabapentin . we'll follow up with him afterwards to determine his level of relief . he denies any blood thinners .

[doctor] eugene walker , n- date of birth 4/14/1960 . he's a 61-year-old male who presents today , uh , for a routine follow-up with chronic medical conditions .
[doctor] of note , the patient underwent an aortic valve replacement and ascending aortic aneurysm repair on 1/22/2013 . regarding his blood work from 4/10/2021 , the patient's alkaline phosphatate- phosphatase , excuse me , was elevated to 156 . his lipid panel showed elevated total cholesterol of 247 , hdl of 66 , ldl of 166 , and triglycerides at 74 . the patient's tsh was normal at 2.68 . his cbc was unremarkable . his most recent vitamin d level was at the high end of normal at 94 .
[doctor] good morning , mr. walker . how are you doing ? i mean , it's been a crazy year .
[patient] i'm doing fine , for the most part , but there are a few things i want to cover today .
[doctor] sure . go right ahead .
[patient] uh , well , i'm having more fatigue , but i do n't know if it's age or if it's just , you know , drained at the end of the day . but i still ride my bike . i ca n't go as fast as i used to . i'm still riding , and , you know , after a long bike ride , i'll sit down and then boom . i'm out , you know ?
[doctor] yeah . what's a long bike ride to you ?
[patient] uh , 20 to 30 miles .
[doctor] 20 to 30 miles on a road bike ?
[patient] yeah , road bike . i think it's a time thing . if i had more time , i would try to do my 40 miles , but i have n't done that . obviously , we're too early in the season so my typical ride is , like , 20 , 30 . in years back , i could do 40 on a good day . i can still do 20 but , you know , i'm tired and have to take a break when i get home .
[doctor] yeah , i understand .
[patient] and tyler's my buddy . he's always nice and waits for me , but i used to be able to beat him . but now , he waits for me all the time . he's older than me and it- it kills me .
[doctor] yeah , i can imagine that would upset me too .
[patient] well , the last time , you know , you found a heart thing , then . just making sure that the valve is holding out , you know ?
[doctor] right . so , when was your last stress test ?
[patient] it was september 9th , 2019 , because i'm eight years out from surgery , and back then , they said , you know , it's going to last eight years . and i'm at that year , so i just want to make sure . i asked dr. lewis for an echocardiogram to see how i'm doing .
[doctor] yeah .
[patient] but it's not ... like , nothing has changed drastically since i saw you .
[doctor] okay , good . do you still go down to hopkins at all ?
[patient] no , not at all . i just get follow-ups intermittently , here . going there is just ... it's too much stress .
[doctor] okay .
[patient] one more thing , i want to make sure i do n't forget . my wife and friends tell me that when i walk , i purse my lips when i'm breathing . other doctors have said , " did you notice your pursed lips breathing ? " i do n't know if that's a bad habit or what .
[doctor] okay . is there any wheezing associated with that ?
[patient] no , no wheezing .
[doctor] and you're able to bike 30 miles and mostly keep up with your friend , tyler , correct ?
[patient] yeah . the only other thing i want to mention is it's not like i do routine testicular exams , but i know i have this little nodule on my right testicle .
[doctor] on the testicle or the epididymis ?
[patient] epididymis . uh , i really do n't know . i'm not super concerned . i read a little online . just wanted to ask you .
[doctor] and did you have a vasectomy ?
[patient] no . let me pull my notes out and make sure i mentioned everything i wanted to tell you . those were the only things and it's not like my tiredness is depression or anything . i'm a pretty happy guy overall , you know ? i just know you would ask those questions .
[doctor] what time are you going to sleep , and about how many hours do you sleep a night ?
[patient] um , it varies . usually , i get six to seven hours of sleep . i get out of bed some days to be at work by 7:00 , lecture , and i try to work out in the morning . i- i do n't ... i'm not ... i'm not always successful , and now what i do is i- i do make reservations twice a week for a 5:45 swim in the morning .
[doctor] okay , so you're getting six to seven hours of sleep , and has your wife ever mentioned if you snore or stop breathing at any time ?
[patient] i believe i snore a little bit , but she's never said anything about me not breathing .
[doctor] okay . so , you're currently taking vitamin d3 , around 5000 units on sundays , and two thous ... or 50,000 units on sundays , excuse me , and 2000s on the other six days , and then clindamycin prior to dental procedures , correct ?
[patient] yeah , that's right .
[doctor] have you had a covid-19 shot yet ?
[patient] i've received both . my first dose on january 15th , '21 and my second on february 5th , '21 .
[doctor] good . if you'd hop up here on the table , we're just going to do a physical exam .
[doctor] well , mr. walker , overall you're doing well . i'm going to order an echocardiogram and a stress test . i also recommend that you follow up with cardiology , i think dr. vincent sanchez would be a great fit for you .
[patient] all right .
[doctor] also your recent labs showed an elevated alkaline phosphatase level at 156 . now this could be related to your liver but most likely related to your bone health . we're going to check a few labs today .
[patient] you're going to have them done today ?
[doctor] yes , sir , and we will send the results through your patient portal unless something is way off then we'll give you a call .
[patient] sounds good .
[doctor] now as far as your breathing , i observed the pursed lip breathing and your exhalation is low . i think you should do a pulmonary function test to further evaluate , and i'll order that as well .
[doctor] now the nodule in your right testicle should be evaluated by urology , and we will place that referral today , also .
[patient] sounds like i'm going to be busy getting this all checked out .
[doctor] yes , sir . now you are due for your mmr and i'm recommend you get the shingles vaccine as well . you have completed your covid-19 , so that's good .
[doctor] now i'm going to have , uh ... have you return in about a year for your wellness visit . we'll see you back sooner if needed after i review all those labs and those other studies .
[doctor] do you have any other questions for me ?
[patient] no , doc . i think you covered it all .
[doctor] great . okay , the nurse will , uh , be back in a minute to give you mmr today , and the front desk will line up a time to do the shingles vaccine next month .
[patient] thanks , doc . have a great day .
[doctor] all right , i used my general physical exam template for respiratory notate : pursed lip breathing , low exhalation phase , clear to oscillation , no wheezing . uh , genitalia notate : right testicle with two to three millimeters palpable nodule does not feel as if it will ... does not feel as if with the epididymis or variococele ; left testicle , normal ; no hernia . all other portions of the physical exam are normal default .
[doctor] assessment history of the aortic aneurysm repair : the patient underwent and aortic valve replacement and ascending aortic aneurysm repair on 1/20/2013 . he is doing well overall and currently asymptomatic . he is currently not seen by cardiology routinely . suggest the following up and suggested vincent sanchez as his physician . we will perform an echocardiogram , eh , slash , stress test .
[doctor] elevated alkaline phosphatase level . most recent cmd showed elevation at 156 . this could be related to his liver but most likely re- related to his bone health . i've ordered an alkaline phosphatase and again a gt .
[doctor] lung field abnormal finding on exona ... excuse me , on examination . the patient has been noted to purse his lips while breathing . he was found himself ... he has found himself feeling more fatigued at the end of the day . he does bicycle around 20 to 30 miles at a time . his exhal- exhalation phase is low on exam , and i've ordered pfts today to further ... for further evaluation .
[doctor] the right testicular nodule is about two to three millimeters , i've noted on the exam . there's no hernia palpable , and i have suggested reaching out to ro ... urology for a possible ultrasound .
[doctor] preventative health : the most recent blood work was reviewed with no significant abnormalaries ... abnormalities other than the cmv . uh , we will perform mmr titer today . i have suggested the shingles vaccine and he is fully vaccinated against covid-19 .
[doctor] patient will return , uh , for a follow-up in one year for a wellness visit , sooner if needed . he is to call with any questions or concerns .

[doctor] patrick allen . date of birth : 7/7/1977 . new patient visit . past medical history includes gerd , anxiety , depression . here for chronic abdominal pain . he had an abdominal ct on 1/23/2020 . impression is a normal ct of the ab- abdomen .
[doctor] hello , are you mr. allen ?
[patient] yes , i am .
[doctor] hi . my name is dr. edwards . nice to meet you .
[patient] nice to meet you .
[doctor] welcome to the gi specialty clinic .
[patient] thank you .
[doctor] did you have any problems finding us ?
[patient] no , i've been here with my sister once before .
[doctor] good . so how can i help you today ? uh , the referral i have is for abdominal pain and diarrhea .
[patient] right . so i've had ... i've been having this pain right here in my stomach , like right around here .
[doctor] so in the area of your mid abdomen , just below the belly button ?
[patient] correct . i've had the pain on and off for about two years . i finally went to the er and a ... a few months ago and they did a ct scan .
[doctor] i saw that .
[patient] yeah . they said they did n't really see anything on the scan .
[doctor] yes , i agree . it looked normal .
[patient] the problem is i'm either constipated or have explosive diarrhea .
[doctor] is the pain there all the time ?
[patient] it's a nagging feeling and it just depends . sometimes it bothers me , sometimes it does n't .
[doctor] has this been the case over the past two years as well ?
[patient] more recently in the past couple months , at least with the constipation and diarrhea .
[doctor] and before that , how are your bowel movements ?
[patient] they were normal .
[doctor] uh , okay . so any blood in your stool ?
[patient] nope .
[doctor] do you feel like you have more constipation or diarrhea ?
[patient] probably more constipation .
[doctor] okay , so when you're constipated , do you not have a bowel movement or is the stool hard ?
[patient] i usually do n't go , but when i do , it's hard .
[doctor] and how often do you have a bowel movement when you are constipated ?
[patient] about three to four times a week . it's like when i need to go to the bathroom , if i can massage it , it feels like it's moving some and i can eventually go .
[doctor] okay . and when you have a bowel movement , does the pain change ?
[patient] yeah , it gets a little better .
[doctor] and are you eating and drinking okay ? any nausea or vomiting , heartburn or indigestion ?
[patient] none of that .
[doctor] okay . so tell me about the diarrhea , how often do you get it ?
[patient] it kinda just depends on what i eat . i think i have a very sensitive stomach . if i eat pasta with a creamy sauce , i'm probably gon na have diarrhea .
[doctor] okay . and it does n't happen for multiple days in a row or is it just one time ?
[patient] it's usually just one time and then it's over .
[doctor] and how's your weight been ? any fluctuation ?
[patient] nice and pretty stable , although i could stand to lose about 25 pounds .
[doctor] okay . and is there any family history of gi issues that you know of ?
[patient] not that i can think of . well , actually my sister does have problems with her stomach too . she has irritable bowel syndrome and that is kind of what i always thought i had even thought i've never been diagnosed with it .
[doctor] okay . and is there any family history of gi cancer or liver disease ?
[patient] nope .
[doctor] have you ever had any surgeries on your abdomen ?
[patient] i've never had any surgery .
[doctor] okay , so your gallbladder , appendix , all those are still intact ?
[patient] yup .
[doctor] and have you ever had a colonoscopy ?
[patient] no . i thought that happen when you turn 50 .
[doctor] well , that's for colon cancer screening , but there are other reasons to have a colonoscopy , like unexplained abdominal pain and changes in bowel habits .
[patient] okay .
[doctor] well , come have a seat here and lay back so i can examine you .
[patient] okay .
[doctor] i'm gon na start by listening to your belly with my steth- stethoscope . and i hear bowel sounds in all four quadrants .
[patient] what does that mean ? is everything okay ?
[doctor] it just means that i can hear little noises in all areas of your belly , which means your bowels are active and working .
[patient] okay , good .
[doctor] so now , i'm going to push on your upper and lower abdomen . let me know if you have any pain .
[patient] it hurts a little when you push right there on the left side , near my belly button .
[doctor] okay . i do feel stool in your lower colon , which would coincide with constipation , but i also feel a slight enlargement of your liver here on the upper right side . have you had any lab work done recently ?
[patient] yes , i have a physical about four months ago and they ... i had blood drawn then .
[doctor] okay . and did your primary care physician say anything about the lab results ?
[patient] he said i had some very slightly elevated liver enzymes , but we would recheck them in about six months .
[doctor] and you remember what enzymes were elevated , alt , ast , alp ?
[patient] he said the alt and the ast were elevated .
[doctor] and do you take any medications , either prescription or over-the-counter ?
[patient] i take crestor and olmesartan daily and then tylenol for occasion- occasional pain .
[doctor] and how frequently do you take the tylenol ?
[patient] hardly ever . maybe once a month .
[doctor] and do you consume alcohol ?
[patient] uh , yes , but only a couple of beers after working in the yard on saturdays .
[doctor] okay . and no previous history of heavy alcohol or drug use ?
[patient] nope .
[doctor] and have you had any recent issues with excessive bruising or bleeding ?
[patient] nope .
[doctor] and how about any issues with your ankles or feet swelling ?
[patient] no .
[doctor] okay . i'm gon na take a look at your eyes and skin . i do n't see any jaundice .
[patient] what would cause that ?
[doctor] issues with your liver . let me take a quick listen to your heart and lungs .
[patient] okay .
[doctor] lungs are clear , bilateral heart sounds are normal , no murmurs , gallops , or rubs noted .
[patient] that's good .
[doctor] yes . the rest of your physical exam is normal other than what seems to be an increased stool burden in your colon and a slight hepatomegaly .
[patient] what's that ?
[doctor] increase stool burden means that there's a lot of stool sitting in your colon .
[patient] and that's the constipation , right ? but what about the other thing ?
[doctor] the hepatomegaly means the liver is enlarged .
[patient] but you said mine was slightly enlarged ?
[doctor] correct .
[patient] so what does that mean ?
[doctor] well , let's talk about what we found and then some possible next steps if you're in agreement .
[patient] okay .
[doctor] so as i said , the hepatomegaly means your liver is enlarged .
[patient] could that be why my stomach is hurting and i'm having issues with the constipation and diarrhea ?
[doctor] no , i think you're constipated and have occasional bouts of diarrhea because of certain foods you eat . and we can get you started right away on a fiber supplement that should help with that .
[patient] so what about my liver ? why is it enlarged ?
[doctor] well , there are many reasons why people can have an elevated liver enzymes and also enlarged liver . some possible causes are certain medications that can be toxic to liver , alcohol abuse , fatty liver disease , hepatitis , cirrhosis , and other liver diseases like wilson's disease .
[patient] so what do i need to do ?
[doctor] well , i think since it's been about four months since your blood work was done , we should check your liver enzymes in addition to a few other labs .
[patient] okay . and then what ?
[doctor] we will get those drawn today and then depending upon the results you may need an ultrasound of your liver . i think we need to talk about your medications too .
[patient] which medications ?
[doctor] crestor , how long have you been taking that ?
[patient] about 18 months .
[doctor] okay . well , crestor is one of the medications that can cause liver toxicity so it may be a good idea to discuss other alternatives .
[patient] should i talk to my primary care or can you change it ?
[doctor] i would recommend calling your primary care and discuss that with him since he follows you for your blood pressure and cholesterol .
[patient] okay . i'll call him this afternoon .
[doctor] great . i also think we should go ahead and get you scheduled for a liver ultrasound . if your blood work looks good , then we can always cancel that .
[patient] okay . when do you think i'll be able to get the ultrasound done ?
[doctor] hopefully , within the next two weeks . you will receive a call from the radiology scheduling this afternoon to get it set up .
[patient] okay . and then what happens ?
[doctor] when i get the results from the test , i will contact you . and depending upon what we find , we'll come up with our next steps .
[patient] and when should i see you again ?
[doctor] uh , let's schedule an appointment when you check out to return in four weeks . we'll discuss how you're doing with the fiber supplement and your constipation and review test results to determine if we need to do further testing on your liver .
[patient] okay . is there anything else i can do to help with these issues ?
[doctor] definitely refrain from drinking any alcohol , increase your water intake to at least 48 ounces a day in addition to taking the fiber supplement to help with your constipation . and be mindful of eating foods that you were sensitive to so you can avoid the bouts of diarrhea .
[patient] okay . and i'll talk to my primary care about my crestor .
[doctor] excellent . and do you have any other questions for me ?
[patient] i do n't think so .
[doctor] great . so remember when you check out the front desk , schedule follow-up appointment with me for four weeks and then go to the lab to get your blood work drawn .
[patient] okay . sounds good .
[doctor] and expect a call from radiology scheduling about setting up your ultrasound .
[patient] all right . thanks , dr. edwards .
[doctor] thank you , mr. allen .
