Patient: I'm seventy six years old. I'm also a resident of A S D F if that matters.
Doctor_2: Thank you, ma'am.
Doctor: Doctor A B C requested for you to see us, correct?
Patient: That's correct.
Doctor: Perfect. Doctor X, could you go over her previous diagnoses?
Doctor_2: She is diagnosed with hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and atherosclerotic cerebrovascular disease. Is this all correct, ma'am?
Patient: Sounds about right.
Doctor: I see she underwent a procedure. What was it, Doctor X?
Doctor_2: She underwent a decompression for L three and L four. Did Doctor Stanley Gertzbein perform this procedure for your back?
Patient: He did. He also did surgery on my lower legs.
Doctor_2: Thank you for confirming.
Doctor: I see after the surgery, you had some pain in your right L four distribution, correct?
Patient: That's correct.
Doctor: Doctor X, did the M R I report of the outside lumbar come in?
Doctor_2: It did. We also have a report of a lumbar C T myelogram, but no films came.
Doctor: What does the C T myelogram say?
Doctor_2: It says she has spondylolisthesis and L four and L 5 stenosis with right posterior surgical fusion changes at both levels.
Doctor: I see. There are some notes from Doctor Reitman. What does it say?
Doctor_2: It looks like she is being sent for an L four selective nerve root block to rule out if she would be a candidate for a T L I F at L four and L 5.
Doctor: I see. Could you review the M R I film as well?
Doctor_2: The M R I reveal a grade two L four anterior spondylolisthesis without major canal stenosis. She does, however, have facet joint disease at this level and dorsal postoperative changes. She also has a foraminal disc protrusion on the right and a severely degenerated disc at L three and L four.
Doctor: Thank you for that. So, miss. Where are you feeling pain today?
Patient: I feel it in the font of my lower leg and right hip.
Doctor: What kind of pain are you feeling?
Patient: I told Doctor X about it. He could let you know.
Doctor_2: She claimed she had a burning, shooting, aching, and constant pain in nature.
Doctor: I see. Is it worse when you do certain activities?
Patient: Yes. When I walk and stand.
Doctor: Are you able to walk at all?
Patient: I can walk around a block before it gets to the point where I get weak.
Doctor: When does it feel better?
Patient: I feel more comfortable when I'm resting, sitting, sleeping, or getting a massage.
Doctor: From a scale of zero to ten, with ten being the worst pain, how would you rate the pain on average?
Patient: I'd say like a nine.
Doctor: That's the intensity on a daily level, correct?
Patient: Yeah, that's correct.
Doctor: What's the lowest pain you've ever felt?
Patient: I think it was a five.
Doctor: I see. Doctor X, did you ask her the series of questions about bowel function?
Doctor_2: I did. She denied any bowel or bladder dysfunction, saddle area hypoesthesia, numbness, tingling, weakness or Valsalva related exacerbation.
Doctor: Great. Have you taken any medication recently?
Patient: Uh. I think it starts with a T.
Doctor_2: It states here you took Tylenol, correct?
Patient: That's correct. | Section Header: HISTORY of PRESENT ILLNESS
Summary: Ms. XYZ is a 76-year-old resident of ASDF. She is seen at the request of Dr. ABC. She carries a diagnosis of hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and atherosclerotic cerebrovascular disease. She underwent an L3-4 decompression in Month DD, YYYY by Dr. Stanley Gertzbein for back and bilateral lower extremity pain.

She has apparently spondylolisthesis and L4-5 stenosis with right posterior surgical fusion changes evident at both levels. According to Dr. Reitman's notes, she is being sent for an L4 selective nerve root block to rule out whether or not she would be a candidate for a TLIF at L4-5. Her MRI films are reviewed. These reveal grade 2 L4 anterior spondylolisthesis without significant canal stenosis, though she has facet joint arthropathy at this level and dorsal postoperative changes. She has a foraminal disc protrusion on the right, as well as a severely degenerated disc at L3-4. The patient complains essentially of pain along the anterior tibia and along the right hip, which his burning, shooting, aching and constant in nature. It is worse with standing and walking.

Doctor: Hello sir, how are you?
Patient: I don't know, I don't know whether I am good, or my problem is getting worse and that is the reason I got myself to your clinic for a neurological consult.

Doctor: Oh, okay. What do you do?
Patient: Well, I was the catholic priest at my parish, like we have our own small administrative district and church.
Doctor: Okay, and when did you notice first that you are forgetting things?

Doctor: Hi there! Welcome to the Neurology clinic, sir.
Patient: Hi! Thank you.
Doctor: What brings you in to the clinic today?
Patient: I was diagnosed with binocular diplopia twenty five years ago but I haven't had much of an issue with it until about a year ago.
Doctor: What did you notice as far as symptoms?
Patient: Suddenly, I started having double vision.
Doctor: Did the double vision happen more than one time?
Patient: It has been happening almost every day off and on through out the day.
Doctor: How long do the episodes last?
Patient: They last for only a few minutes at a time. When I was first diagnosed years ago it happened for a year and then it stopped happening. It was not happening as often as it is now.
Doctor: Did you ever receive any treatment for your binocular diplopia?
Patient: No. It spontaneously resolved and so I didn't need to seek any treatment. Back when all this was happening it had two episodes of a drooping eyelid. I thought I had myasthenia gravis but I was told that that was probably not the case.
Doctor: What eyelid was drooping?
Patient: I don't remember?
Doctor: What is your dominate hand?
Patient: I am right handed.
Doctor: And how old are you?
Patient: I am sixty seven.
Doctor: Involving the double vision, does it become worse when looking at distant objects?
Patient: Yes.
Doctor: When you look at objects off to either side of midline does it become worse?
Patient: Yes. That makes it worse too. When I put my hand over one eye is goes away.
Doctor: Do you have any other symptoms related to the vision issues?
Patient: No. | Section Header: HISTORY of PRESENT ILLNESS
Summary: This 67 y/oRHM first began experiencing horizontal binocular diplopia 25 years prior to presentation in the Neurology Clinic. The diplopia began acutely and continued intermittently for one year. During this time he was twice evaluated for myasthenia gravis (details of evaluation not known) and was told he probably did not have this disease. He received no treatment and the diplopia spontaneously resolved. He did well until one year prior to presentation when he experienced sudden onset horizontal binocular diplopia. The diplopia continues to occur daily and intermittently; and lasts for only a few minutes in duration. It resolves when he covers one eye. It is worse when looking at distant objects and objects off to either side of midline. There are no other symptoms associated with the diplopia. |
Doctor: How old is your son?
Guest_family: He is almost five and a half years old now.
Doctor: What seems to be the problem?
Guest_family: He has a lot of pain about both feet, and if you look at it, it looks like his feet rotate inwards.
Doctor: Okay, let me see, okay, um, he has rocker bottom feet.
Guest_family: Okay.
Doctor: I believe he would benefit from a subtalar arthrodesis, possible autograft, and lengthening of the Achilles. I'll go over the details of that procedure right now.
Guest_family: Can we do the surgery soon?
Doctor: Yes we can. But we'll probably need to do another procedure until his foot matures some more. This is a stabilizing measure.
Guest_family: What are the risks of infection if we do the surgery?
Doctor: Historically, the risk of infection is very low, usually less than one percent.
Guest_family: How do you get the risk so low?
Doctor: We use prophylactic antibiotics to minimize the infection risk.
Guest_family: Will he be able to walk again right after the surgery?
Doctor: No, he'll need to stay off it for a while, we call this nonweightbearing. It will only be for some time after the procedure, it's not permanent.
Guest_family: What are the rest of the risks?
Doctor: The total risks of surgery include risks of anesthesia, infection, bleeding, changes in sensation and motion of the extremity, hardware failure, need for other surgical procedures, need to be nonweightbearing for some time. I would not worry about these risks, though. The risk is low.
Guest_family: Okay. Let's do the surgery. | Section Header: HISTORY of PRESENT ILLNESS
Summary: The patient is a 5-year-4-month-old male who presents for evaluation of feet. He has been having significant feet pain with significant planovalgus deformity. The patient was noted to have flexible vertical talus. It was decided that the patient would benefit by subtalar arthrodesis, possible autograft, and Achilles lengthening. This was explained to the mother in detail. This is going to be a stabilizing measure and the patient will probably need additional surgery at a later day when his foot is more mature. Risks of surgery include risks of anesthesia, infection, bleeding, changes in sensation and motion of the extremity, hardware failure, need for other surgical procedures, need to be nonweightbearing for some time. All questions were answered and the mother agreed to the above plan. |
Doctor: Welcome back to the clinic.
Patient: Thank you.
Doctor: I understand that we are doing an impairment rating exam today.
Patient: Yes, that's correct.
Doctor: And we are evaluating your right shoulder injury. Correct?
Patient: Yes.
Doctor: Was this a workrelated injury?
Patient: Yes. I was working as a C N A at the Veteran's House.
Doctor: How did the work injury happen?
Patient: I was transferring a patient from a wheal chair to a bed, and I hurt my shoulder.
Doctor: What is the date of the incident?
Patient: January first, two thousand and two.
Doctor: Are you currently working?
Patient: No. I have not been able to go back to work yet.
Doctor: I am required to ask some specific questions for the L and I paperwork. What is your ago, ethnicity and gender?
Patient: I am a thirty one year old, white, female.
Doctor: Have you ever had a prior injury to your right shoulder?
Patient: No.
Doctor: Are right or left hand dominant?
Patient: Right.
Doctor: Other then your shoulder injury, do you have any other chronic health problems?
Patient: No.
Doctor: Are you experiencing any fever, chills or illnesses?
Patient: No.
Doctor: Let discuss some of the previous treatments and test that you have been done for your shoulder.
Patient: Okey. I have done a lot of different treatments.
Doctor: What treatments have you done?
Patient: I tried physical therapy. They did a subacromion decompression treatment in November, two thousand and two.
Doctor: Did either of those treatments help?
Patient: Not much. I went and saw Doctor Lin and he said that I might have a nerve fiber injury. I forget what he called it.
Doctor: Brachial plexopathy?
Patient: Yes. That sounds right.
Doctor: Oh, I see his notes in your chart. It says that he felt like you had a right superficial radial neuritis and blocked this with resolution of your symptoms. Then it looks like he sent you to get E M G testing at Valley Medical. Let me look for those results.
Patient: Okey. They should be in my chart. I had Doctor Lin send over all my records.
Doctor: Here it is. It says that the right suprascapular neuropathy although a C5 radiculopathy could not be ruled out. MRI testing on the cervical spine was then done which was negative for disk herniation and underwent suprascapular nerve decompression of the scapular notch on December eighteenth, two thousand and three.
Patient: Whatever that means? I ended up getting a nerve block because I was still in pain. Doctor Lin did one in the frount of my shoulder and then another in the back.
Doctor: This has been a long drawn out course of treatments for you.

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

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

Occasionally, his bed partner wakes him in the middle of the night, when the mask comes off, and reminds him to replace the mask. The patient estimates that he uses the CPAP approximately 5 to 7 nights per week, and on occasion takes it off and does not replace the mask when he awakens spontaneously in the middle of the night. The patient's sleep pattern consists of going to bed between 11:00 and 11:30 at night and awakening between 6 to 7 a.m. on weekdays. On weekends, he might sleep until 8 to 9 a.m. On Saturday night, he might go to bed approximately mid night. As noted, the patient is not snoring on CPAP.

Doctor: Good morning, young man.
Patient: Good morning, doctor.
Doctor: Who is this young lady, is this your grandmother, or sister?
Guest_family: Oh doctor, yes, I am his grandmother.
Doctor: Good, my chart says that you're fourteen years old. Is that correct?
Patient: Yes sir.
Doctor: Good, so what seems to be the problem today?
Patient: I've been having pain in this knee for about a month now.
Doctor: Can you remember a specific injury to this knee?
Patient: Um, yeah, I was playing basketball when I jumped, and then when I landed I felt this knee pop.
Doctor: Do you remember the date of your injury, young man?
Guest_family: Um, it was on December twenty second two thousand seven.
Doctor: Good, so how have you been treated for this so far?
Patient: We went to another clinic first, and they put me in a splint.
Guest_family: Yeah, and then they referred us over to Children's.
Doctor: Have they taken x rays yet?
Patient: Yes, I got back a few minutes ago.
Doctor: Let's have a look. Well, you broke your leg.
Patient: What, where? Can you show me?
Doctor: Right here, this is a tibial tubercule avulsion fracture with patella alta.
Guest_family: What does that mean, doctor?
Doctor: Well, he's broken his leg, and pulled some bone off by doing so. We'll need to do surgery on this.
Guest_family: Oh no, what's the name of the procedure?
Doctor: It's called an O R I F. We'll go in there with some hardware to put everything back together, and he can get on the road to healing.
Guest_family: Let me call his father while we discuss this. What's the risk of infection from this surgery?
Doctor: Historically, it's less than one percent. We use antibiotics to control for infection.
Guest_family: Okay, will he be asleep for this?
Doctor: Yes, he won't feel a thing.
Guest_family: That's good too. Will he need this hardware out in the future?
Doctor: We can remove everything once he has healed up nicely. Other risks include bleeding, changes in the sensation of the leg, hardware failure, need for post op rehab, need for hardware removal, and failure to restore extensor mechanism tension. But I would not worry about these things. I have been doing these surgeries for years and things like this rarely happen.
Guest_family: Yes, his father agrees. We're going to do the surgery. | Section Header: HISTORY of PRESENT ILLNESS
Summary: The patient is a 14-year-old male who reported having knee pain for 1 month. Apparently while he was playing basketball on 12/22/2007 when he had gone up for a jump, he felt a pop in his knee. The patient was seen at an outside facility where he was splinted and subsequently referred to Children's for definitive care. Radiographs confirmed comminuted tibial tubercle avulsion fracture with patella alta. Surgery is recommended to the grandmother and subsequently to the father by phone. Surgery would consist of open reduction and internal fixation with subsequent need for later hardware removal. Risks of surgery include the risks of anesthesia, infection, bleeding, changes on sensation in most of the extremity, hardware failure, need for later hardware removal, failure to restore extensor mechanism tension, and need for postoperative rehab. All questions were answered, and father and grandmother agreed to the above plan. |
