[ { "source": "primock57", "dialogue": "[Doctor] Hello? Hi. Um, should we start? Yeah, okay. Hello how um. Good morning sir, how can I help you this morning?\n[Patient] Hello, how are you?\n[Patient] Oh hey, um, I've just had some diarrhea for the last three days, um, and it's been affecting me I need to stay close to the toilet. And, um, yeah, it's been affecting my day-to-day activities.\n[Doctor] Sorry to hear that. Um, and and when you say diarrhea, what'd you mean by diarrhea? Do you mean you're going to the toilet more often? Or are your stools more loose?\n[Patient] Yeah, so it's like loose and watery stool, going to the toilet quite often, uh and like some pain in my, like, lower stomach?\n[Doctor] \n[Doctor] Okay. And how many times a day are you going, let's say, in the last couple of days?\n[Patient] Um, probably like six or seven times a day? Yeah.\n[Doctor] Six, seven times a day. And you mention it's mainly watery. Have you noticed any other things, like blood in your stools?\n[Patient] No, no blood, yeah, just watery and loose stool.\n[Doctor] Okay. And you mentioned you've had some pain in your tummy as well. Whereabouts is the pain, exactly?\n[Patient] Yep. So in my lower abdomen, so, uh, like, um...yeah, just to one side.\n[Doctor] One side. And what side is that?\n[Patient] Uh, on the left side.\n[Doctor] Left side. Okay, and can you describe the pain to me?\n[Patient] Yeah, it feels, um, like a cramp, like a muscular cramp, and, um, yeah i feel a bit uh weak and shaky.\n[Doctor] Okay. And is the pain, is that, is it there all the time, or does it come and go?\n[Patient] Uh, it comes and goes.\n[Doctor] Come and go. Does the pain move anywhere else, for example towards your back?\n[Patient] Uh...no, just maybe my stomach.\n[Doctor] Okay, fine. And you mentioned you've been feeling quite weak and shaky as well. What do you mean by shaky? Do you mean you've been having, uh have you been feeling feverish, for example?\n[Patient] Yeah.\n[Patient] Um, yeah, it doesn't feel like -- yeah, it just makes me feel weak. I haven't had a fever, um, at the moment, but I did notice um a temperature when the symptoms started, so, um, yeah around about three or four days ago.\n[Doctor] \n[Doctor] You measure your temperature then?\n[Patient] Yeah, I uh I didn't mention my temperature, no, but I felt, um, just a bit hot. And, y'know.\n[Doctor] Okay. Okay. Any other symptoms like sweating, or um, night sweats? No? And, uh, any vomiting at all?\n[Patient] Uh, no.\n[Patient] Yeah, so um, I vomited at the start of the symptoms but now um I've stopped vomiting.\n[Doctor] You stopped vomiting, okay. And was your vomit, I know it's not a nice thing to talk about, but was it just normal food colour Yeah. And there was no blood in your vomit, is that right?\n[Patient] Yeah, yeah, just normal vomit, yeah. No no blood, no. Yeah.\n[Doctor] No, okay. Um, and um, any any other symptoms at all? So you mentioned tummy pain, you mentioned diarrhea, you mentioned your vomiting, uh, anything else that comes to mind?\n[Patient] Yep. Um, I had a loss of appetite, um, so I haven't been eating as much, but I've been able to hold down fluids.\n[Doctor] Okay.\n[Doctor] Okay, so you're drinking fluids. Um, what kind of foods have you managed to eat, if anything?\n[Patient] Yep.\n[Patient] Um, just soups, and, uh, yeah, light foods. Like smoothies and, yeah, liquid foods mainly.\n[Doctor] Okay. Fine. Um, and sir these started three days ago the symptoms. Are you aware of any triggers which may have caused the symptoms uh to kick on. So for example, think like takeaway foods or eating out or being around other people with similar symptoms.\n[Patient] \n[Patient] Yeah, so I had takeaway about four days ago, um, uh, but other than that I've, yeah, been, uh, eating normally. Nothing unusual here.\n[Doctor] Okay. Do you remember where you ate?\n[Patient] Um, yeah, I ate at a Chinese restaurant with friends. Yeah.\n[Doctor] Okay. Anyone else unwell with similar symptoms?\n[Patient] Um, so no one else in the family, so a wife and two kids and one, um, child was vomiting, but they haven't got diarrhea. There's no one with the same symptoms.\n[Doctor] Okay, okay. Fine. Um, alright. And uh, in terms of your , your overall health, are you normally fit and well? Or, uh\n[Patient] Um, yeah, I mean, other than um athsma, um I use an inhaler, everything uh else is fine.\n[Doctor] Okay. And, is your asthma well-controlled?\n[Patient] Uh, yeah, that's fine. I just, yeah, use an inhaler, and uh that's under control.\n[Doctor] Fine. And you don't have any other tummy problem, bowel problems I should be aware of?\n[Patient] No.\n[Doctor] No, okay. Um, and apart from the inhalers, do you take any other medications?\n[Patient] Uh, no, no other medications.\n[Doctor] Okay, fine. And in terms of just your day to day life, you said it's been affecting your life, um, in what way has it been affecting your life?\n[Patient] Yeah.\n[Patient] Uh, so, I need to stay close to the toilet 'cause I go quite frequently during the these past three days. Um, yeah, other than that, it's uh, yeah, the main concern.\n[Doctor] Okay.\n[Doctor] Yeah. And have you, are you currently working at the moment? \n[Patient] Uh, yes, yeah. I I work, er. Um, I'm an accountant.\n[Doctor] Would, would work.\n[Doctor] Okay. Have you been going into work the last three days, or have you been at home?\n[Patient] Uh, yeah, I've been going to work. Yeah. Yeah, it's been quite difficult.\n[Doctor] okay. That must be difficult for you then. fine. And you said, you mentioned you live with your wife and two children, is that right?\n[Patient] Yes, yeah.\n[Doctor] Right, alright. Um, just a couple of other question we need to ask, sir. Um, do you smoke at all?\n[Patient] Uh, no, I don't smoke.\n[Doctor] And do you drink much in the way of alcohol?\n[Patient] Uh, no, I I don't drink alcohol, no. \n[Doctor] Okay. so um, er normally at this stage I like to um, examine you if that's okay, but um, um, but but having listened to your story, sir, I think uh, um, just to recap for the last three days you've been having loose stool, diarrhea, a bit of tummy pain uh mainly on the left-hand side, um and vomiting and fever and you're quite weak and lethargic um, you mentioned you had this Chinese takeaway as little as three days ago and I wondered whether that might be the cause of your problems.\n[Patient] Yeah.\n[Patient] \n[Patient] Okay.\n[Doctor] Um, it seems like you may have something, uh, called gastroenteritis, which essentially just a tummy bug or infection of your uh of your tummy.\n[Patient] \n[Doctor] Uh, mainly caused by viruses but there can be a possibility of bacteria uh causing its symptoms. Um.\n[Patient] Yeah.\n[Patient] Yeah.\n[Doctor] At this stage, uh, what, what we'd recommend is just what we say conservative management. So, um, I don't think you need anything like antibiotics. It's really just, um, making sure you're well hydrated, so drinking fluids.\n[Patient] \n[Patient] Mm-hmm.\n[Doctor] Um, there are things like Dioralyte you can get from the pharmacy, which uh it's um it helps helps replenish your minerals and vitamins.\n[Patient] Okay.\n[Doctor] Um, and if you are having vomiting diarrhea I would say recommend that in the first, you know, first couple of days.\n[Patient] Yep.\n[Doctor] If you are feeling feverish and weak, eh taking some paracetamol, uh, two tablets up to four times a day for the first few days can also help.\n[Patient] Yep.\n[Doctor] I will certainly advise you to take some time off work, actually I know you're quite keen to work but I would say the next two, two to three days as the infection clears from your system to take some time off and rest.\n[Patient] Okay.\n[Patient] Yeah.\n[Doctor] Um, I'll admit if your symptoms haven't got better, you know, in in three to four days, I'd like to come and see you again. \n[Patient] Okay, sure.\n[Doctor] Because if it is ongoing then we have to wonder whether something else caused your symptoms.\n[Patient] Yep.\n[Doctor] Uh, and we may need to do further tests like um taking a sample of your stool so we can test that.\n[Patient] \n[Doctor] Um, etcetera etcetera.\n[Patient] Yep, sure, yep.\n[Doctor] How's that sound?\n[Patient] That sounds great, yeah. Yeah.\n[Doctor] Do you have any questions for me?\n[Patient] Um, no, no further questions, no.\n[Doctor] Okay, and is uh is the treatment plan clear?\n[Patient] Uh, yes, yeah, that's that's very clear. Thank you.\n[Doctor] Great. Well, I wish you all the best.\n[Patient] Okay, thank you. Bye.\n[Doctor] Thank you.

But um\n[Doctor] OK.\n[Doctor] Did it help?\n[Patient] Um I mean, at that time yes. That's, those symptoms, like these symptoms appear like, when the symptoms appeared again, I tried those and it didn't work. I've tried a few things. Like I bought a, a steroid cream at the pharmacy last night. But it apparently didn't help, because it's still itching a lot today. Uh, yeah.\n[Doctor] OK. OK. Do you remember the name of the cream you bought?\n[Patient] A steroid cream.\n[Doctor] OK, steroid, OK. um would you say these symptoms are very similar to your eczema symptoms, or different?\n[Patient] Um it's much more like itchy. And my eczema was more like only in the arm. But now it's also on the chest. And in the on the, on the hands as well.\n[Doctor] OK.\n[Patient] Like pretty, yeah when, like I like, for instance hiking, during the weekend. And\n[Doctor] \n[Patient] I am, I can't really do it anymore, because it's like very like I wanted to do that last weekend. And because super painful, and I I have to take like showers every day to be able to, cannot uh ease this itching part, which is very very annoying.\n[Doctor] Yes.\n[Doctor] No. Well OK. That's so you mentioned the itchiness. Um you also mentioned it's been quite sore.\n[Patient] Yeah.\n[Doctor] Um have you, have you noticed any uh bleeding or discharge from your skins?\n[Patient] . OK.\n[Patient] No. Um so my skin is a bit cracked in some parts, like kind of cracked, if you see what I mean. But uh, yeah.\n[Doctor] OK. You've not, haven't uh seen any other uh pus or blood, coming out of your skin.\n[Patient] No.\n[Doctor] No. And you mentioned it all started three days ago. Are you, four days ago. Are you aware of any triggers, or anything that you may have done, that may have caused your symptoms to start?\n[Patient] Four days ago.\n[Doctor] So for example, have you changed your uh shower gel, any clothing? Have you been around anyone else?\n[Patient] No I . It's actually like, it's really annoying, because I'm thinking about, maybe I should change something. Because I I haven't, and I don't understand I cannot, um afraid of asking people around me because it's cannot you know um, I don't feel really comfortable asking about these questions. It's kind of intimate that. So I your help now.\n[Doctor] Mm. Mm. No no, OK. That's OK. Um Fine, so just to resummarize. For the last four days, you've had very itchy skin, very sore skin all over your body, mainly your chest. And did you also mention your arms and legs as well?\n[Patient] Yeah.\n[Patient] Uh, no. Just the chest, hands and like, like inside the elbows. Yeah.\n[Doctor] \n[Doctor] OK. anything on your face at all?\n[Patient] Am I what?\n[Doctor] On your face?\n[Patient] On my face? No.\n[Doctor] No, OK. And apart from this, any other symptoms have you noticed? For example, have you noticed any temperature or fevers?\n[Patient] No. just very itchy. Nothing else.\n[Doctor] Itchy. OK. So your, your bowels are working OK? Your chest is OK? No cough, no breathing difficulties?\n[Patient] No.\n[Doctor] You're passing urine OK.\n[Patient] I I think so.\n[Doctor] OK, alright. Um It's always good to know. So, I mean, do you have any ideas as to what could be causing your symptoms?\n[Patient] Any what?\n[Doctor] Any ideas, as to what could be causing your symptoms?\n[Patient] Um so I had eczema before. So maybe it's disease, but it seems like more uh, like uh my eczema was only on the arms. So, I'm I'm not sure. I I really have no idea.\n[Doctor] OK. That's OK. So um, normally at this stage I like to examine you. Um To see the rash itself, to see exactly what type of rash it is. But from what you've told me, you mentioned it's, you've got some dry skin and some, uh cracked skin as well. Uh and has been very itchy. And so would your um\n[Patient] Yeah.\n[Doctor] Uh your your background of eczema. Um So Sorry to say, there's a couple of questions I wanted to ask you, which I completely forgot, my apologies. Um, apart from the eczema, do you have any other medical problems I should be aware of?\n[Patient] Uh, no. I just had asthma in the past. But not anymore.\n[Doctor] OK. Not anymore, OK. And do you take any regular medications at the moment?\n[Patient] Uh no.\n[Doctor] No, OK. Do you have any allergies to anything?\n[Patient] I like some , sorry? Yeah?\n[Doctor] sorry I said do you have any allergies to anything?\n[Doctor] Hello?\n[Patient] Hello? Yes.\n[Doctor] can you hear me? That's alright I think it . Uh do you have any allergies at all?\n[Patient] Ohh, allergies. Uh, no.\n[Doctor] No, OK. Um and tell me about your um uh your situation at home. Who do you live with?\n[Patient] Uh so, I live with a few flatmates. I'm a, so you know I'm thirty one. Uh I, yeah I'm I have a full time job. And so I'm living with a few people to save money.\n[Doctor] OK. And what do you do for work?\n[Patient] Uh I work uh at a pharmaceutical company. So it's been a, it's been a few years now. Uh it's uh, it's kind of interesting. We're working I'm a, like a kind of project manager. Uh I mean, do you want to, to know more about it?\n[Doctor] OK. Uh no no no that's , that's absolutely fine. Um just a couple of questions I want to ask you, which can sometimes affect your symptoms, is, do you smoke at all?\n[Patient] No.\n[Doctor] No. And do you drink much in the way of alcohol?\n[Patient] \n[Patient] Uh you know, once in a while I can, I like hanging out with people once in a while. So yeah I'd say a few, a few beers per week. Something like this. Nothing, nothing crazy. I used to drink a lot more when I was younger. But it's been, it's been a while. \n[Doctor] OK. OK. OK I've got to say, at this stage I've got to say this sound quality is not uh great. But I will continue because we've come this far. Um So um, based on everything you mentioned Sarah , I do wonder whether this is a flare-up of your eczema. Um\n[Patient] \n[Doctor] The reason being that you said it was quite itchy. Um it's mainly affecting your chest and your back. Um and uh, having looked at your skin, uh the the the rash does appear quite familiar. Um you mentioned using steroid creams, yesterday.\n[Patient] \n[Doctor] Um from the pharmacy. I wonder whether giving you a stronger prescription of a of a steroid may be beneficial. Uh, which I'm happy to prescribe to you today. As well as, I'm going to give you something, some emollients, which helps to moisturize the skin.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Doctor] Um which use in the bath and shower. And it's definitely worth um using that for the first seven to ten days.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Doctor] Uh before we make the decision on whether it's working or not.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Doctor] Um it's also worth um using antihistamines, which you can sometimes buy over counter. Things like Loratadine or Piriton, which can help the itchiness of your skin.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Doctor] And uh, um it's also worth keeping a diary of any triggers which are affecting your symptoms, anything you wear or anything you use, in terms of shower gels or soap. Because if that's causing your symptoms, then we need to have a discussion about an eczema CU.\n[Patient] OK. Yes, I have tried antihistamines, uh lately, but it didn't really help.\n[Doctor] Ohh, could you say that again, sorry?\n[Patient] I have tried uh antihistamines, but uh but it didn't really help.\n[Doctor] OK.\n[Doctor] OK. So it's something for you to think about. you can get different types of antihistamines. I can give you something a little bit stronger today as well. Um, something like Fexofenadine, which I can give to you today. It's definitely worth trying, and it's not going to do you any harm.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Doctor] Um but I think using the steroids and the emollients, um on a regular basis Uh over the next week to ten days, should hopefully control your symptoms. But do come back and see me next week, if things don't get better.\n[Patient] That sounds good.\n[Doctor] OK? Um do you have any questions for me?\n[Patient] Uh, no that's it. Thank you very much. Bye. Thank you as well. Bye.\n[Doctor] OK. Well I wish you all the best. Thank you.

But you know, what if it is a brain tumour? What's gonna happen with my future and my career?\n[Doctor] Yeah. Yeah. \n[Patient] You know, really about this. never had headaches like this before. Like why should I get them now?\n[Doctor] Yeah, sure. I mean I can see your concern obviously is a lot, there's a lot of worry there. Um but you know let let let, as I said let's take it step by step, um to see exactly what the cause of these headaches are first. Um, I'm just going to ask you some, um very uh yes no questions if that's OK, ma'am. Um Um have you noticed any problems with your speech at all, any difficulties with your words?\n[Patient] No.\n[Doctor] Any problems with your arms and legs? For example numbness or weakness?\n[Patient] No.\n[Doctor] Any difficulty with balance, your balance or coordination?\n[Patient] No.\n[Doctor] OK. And have you had any injuries to your head? Have you had a fall recently, or been knocked on the head?\n[Patient] No.\n[Doctor] OK, alright. Um and and you're feeling otherwise OK. So, for example your um Uh your your breathing's OK? You're not feeling breathless, or\n[Doctor] No, OK. Um do you have any other medical history I should be aware of?\n[Patient] No, nothing.\n[Doctor] No. So for example, have you had, has anyone told you you've had migraines in the past?\n[Patient] No.\n[Doctor] No, OK. Do you \n[Patient] No. My mum, my mum has, has migraines. But I've, I've not been diagnosed.\n[Doctor] OK. Right, my next question was that of family history. Is there anything in the family? So apart from migraines, is there anything else? Is there anything related to brain, for example?\n[Patient] as well.\n[Doctor] What was that, sorry?\n[Patient] My mom has an underactive thyroid as well.\n[Doctor] thyroid as well. OK. Um OK any other problems with for example, the brain, or? Um you mentioned brain cancer. Any other family history of ?\n[Patient] \n[Patient] No.\n[Doctor] No, OK. Um in terms of medications, do you take anything on a regular basis?\n[Patient] Um I take the pill, Microgynon.\n[Doctor] OK. And how long have you been on that for?\n[Patient] three months.\n[Doctor] Three months, OK. And is that mainly for contraception, or is that for something else?\n[Patient] it's for contraception.\n[Doctor] OK, alright. That's something you meant to have a little discussion about today as well. Um Uh well my next question was about um your social, your situation at home. You mentioned you work in the fashion industry. And your work, is your job quite stressful at the moment?\n[Patient] Yeah it's really stressful, actually.\n[Doctor] Have you been\n[Patient] having problems at like work, you know managers like putting a lot of pressure on me to deliver and, uh yeah it's not a good time.\n[Doctor] . Is it getting you down?\n[Patient] I don't feel down, just a little bit stressed.\n[Doctor] OK, alright. And what kind of things do you do to alleviate your stress, normally?\n[Patient] Nothing really.\n[Doctor] OK. Do you do much in the way of exercise?\n[Patient] No.\n[Doctor] No, OK. Um who's at home with you?\n[Patient] Um, I live on my own.\n[Doctor] OK. Um are you coping OK at the moment?\n[Patient] Fine.\n[Doctor] Yeah? OK. Um do you smoke at all? and do you drink much in the way of alcohol?\n[Patient] No.\n[Patient] No.\n[Doctor] OK, alright. Um, so normally at this I'd like to kind of proceed to examination. Um That's um based on your story, um I wonder whether you may, uh may have a migraine, uh migraine type headache. Uh it sounds Um, very classical of that, of that nature, the the the headache on one side, throbbing nature, the nausea, vomiting, um sensitivity to bright lights. Uh, I'm reassured that you don't have anything more serious, such as meningitis, or indeed Brain cancer, I know that was a big worry of yours initially. Um\n[Patient] thank you, uh thanks so much. I was so worried that I had cancer. And, ohh now you say migraine. Yeah I guess my mum has similar symptoms to me and yeah, it does make sense.\n[Doctor] yeah. Yeah. Well, I hope that puts your, you know, mind at ease. Um, certainly this is the second migraine you've had in the space of a month. Um, So I think, moving forwards, there's a couple of options. I think keeping a headache diary would be quite important, uh to see exactly what's triggering these headaches. And in terms of trying to treat your headaches today, some strong painkillers would be advisable. So, think about Paracetamol, or even Co-codamol. Um, and some anti-inflammatories, such as Ibuprofen and Naproxen. How's that sound to you?\n[Patient] K that sounds good.\n[Doctor] Um and uh, you know if your headaches were to become more persistent, then we could maybe think about giving you some medications that will stop your headaches from happening in the first place, something prophylactic medicines. then we could have a discussion next time I see you next week, perhaps.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Doctor] OK. Um, now a couple of things I want you to think about is, you know if your symptoms aren't getting better next two three days, or indeed they're getting worse. I'd like you to come back and see me, um straight away if possible. So if your headache's getting worse, not responding to medications Or your um neck pain is getting worse, or you develop any weakness in your arms and legs, or your vision, then I want you to come back and see me straight away. OK?\n[Patient] OK.\n[Doctor] Does that sound all OK?\n[Patient] Doctor, that's great.\n[Doctor] Great. Any questions for me?\n[Patient] No. Thank you.\n[Doctor] OK.

And you know, it's uh, it's, it's a bit of a stressful period just around the um, end of the year. Right.\n[Doctor] Mm, OK. Is that stress, is that affecting your um, your mood at all any, in any way?\n[Patient] Um, no I think I think it's, it's the, you know it's the good kind of stress.

Um had initial fever, but now settled. Um I don't think there's a lot to worry about. I think you probably have, you know a bit of a viral, what we say viral illness, maybe a viral upper respiratory tract infection, or maybe early signs of a flu. Um these normally last about seven to days and just gets better really, um over time. But things you can do to really help yourself, um is get plenty of rest. I'd probably advise you taking a day or two off work if you can. Um Making yourself, pushing fluids and make yourself well-hydrated. Continue with the regular Paracetamol, Ibuprofen. Um and and you should see how things go, really. Um if next week you're still not better, I'd like you to come back and see me. Um is that clear? Does that, does that make, does that make \n[Patient] Yeah, yeah, that's that's , it makes sense. Uh, I think I'll take a couple days off, and see how it goes.\n[Doctor] Yeah, yeah. and things to look out for if you're really not getting better, if you if you have a high fever, or your breathing is becoming a bit more labored, or chest pain, I'd like you to come back and see me much sooner, give me a call. Um and we can help you out. OK?\n[Patient] Yeah.\n[Patient] Yeah, yeah I understand. Uh, I'll uh, I'll take care.\n[Doctor] Great. Have a great day. Good luck with your work. Thank you. Bye bye.

Good morning, Tim. Um, how can I help you this morning?\n[Patient] Um, so I'm Having some, some pain, uh, in my tummy, like the lower part of my tummy. Um and I've just been feeling, quite, hot and sweaty.\n[Doctor] OK.\n[Doctor] Right, I'm sorry to hear that. When, when did your symptoms all start?\n[Patient] About two days ago.\n[Doctor] OK. And whereabouts in your tummy is the pain, exactly?\n[Patient] Uh, like below my belly button, it's like quite, sore when I press on it.\n[Doctor] OK. Did the pain come on quite suddenly, or was it more gradual?\n[Patient] , it hasn't been, it's more gradual and it's just, it is getting a bit worse now.\n[Doctor] OK, OK. And can you describe the pain to me?\n[Patient] Uh, it's kind of like a, a, I guess a burning pain. Uh, and it's just right there yeah, in that spot, like uh, that's mostly where I'm feeling it. It hasn't spread anywhere else.\n[Doctor] Just in, just below your belly button you uh, mentioned.\n[Patient] Yeah.\n[Doctor] OK. Um, and is the pain constant, or does it come and go?\n[Patient] It's pretty constant, it's like getting worse. Um, it's not like, I , I can still move and walk around. Uh, I mean I'm still kind of functioning, it's just uh, I'm aware of it time.\n[Doctor] \n[Doctor] . Mm-hmm. OK. Um, and with the pain have you noticed any other symptoms, at all? So, for example, let's, let's focus first on your bowels. Are your bowels working OK?\n[Patient] Yeah, I had a bit of constipation, but that's better, now. That was like, since last week.\n[Doctor] OK. So you've got no other symptoms, like diarrhea or loose stools?\n[Patient] No, I'm , I'm, my bowel movements are normal now.\n[Doctor] No.\n[Doctor] OK. And, what about your waterworks? Are you passing urine OK?\n[Patient] Yeah, I'm fine, that's fine, that's. I did notice that I was a little, the urine was a little pink, in colour. But I haven't like, it hasn't really been burning, specifically or hurting when I pee and uh. And I did notice I was going to the, I was peeing more, regularly, but I have been drinking lots of fluids. So I wasn't sure, um, I wasn't sure, um, like you know, if that was related to the pain.\n[Doctor] Mm.\n[Doctor] And when you mentioned pink urine, do you, was there any blood at all in your urine? Or was it difficult to say?\n[Patient] I can't say, I mean maybe.\n[Doctor] OK, alright. But otherwise, it doesn't hurt, uh, or or or sting, when you pass urine?\n[Patient] And I haven't noticed that it really burns or anything like that. Um, just that I'm, peeing more than , more regularly.\n[Doctor] OK.\n[Doctor] OK. Um, OK. And um, moving on to other symptoms, have you noticed any vomiting, or feeling nauseous at all?\n[Patient] Just a little nauseous, um, but no vomiting.\n[Doctor] No vomiting. Any temperatures or fevers?\n[Patient] I haven't , I felt a bit hot and sweaty, but I haven't really measured it, so I can't really say.\n[Doctor] OK, fine. Um, uh, uh, and Kim, have to ask um, uh all all all patients. This this question is about your cycle, if you don't mind me asking. Um, are you currently um, are you currently sexually active?\n[Patient] Yes.\n[Patient] Uh, yeah I've, I have had the same partner, I am, we were last sexually active about four days ago. Um, my last STD screen was normal, which was about six months ago.\n[Doctor] OK. So you've had no other partner since then.\n[Patient] No, the .\n[Doctor] OK. Um, uh, and do you use any contraception at all?\n[Patient] Uh, I'm, on the Implanon. I had the Implanon inserted about a year ago.\n[Doctor] At the moment, OK, fine. Um, are you still having periods?\n[Patient] Yes.\n[Doctor] When was your last period?\n[Patient] Uh, my last period was about, three weeks ago. I mean, two weeks ago.\n[Doctor] Two week scare, OK. So, is there any chance you could be pregnant? I know you've got an implement in there, but is there any chance you could potentially be pregnant? It's something for us to think about \n[Patient] Well, we don't use any other barrier, method so, we just use the , I just have the Implanon and the same partner. Um. Theoretically, if the Implanon, hasn't been working then I could be pregnant, but I don't suspect .\n[Doctor] Yeah, OK. Well it's something for us to think about. Um, uh, maybe worth taking a pregnancy test later on, just to confirm that. Um OK. And, and so, just to summarize so far, if you don't mind, it's really for the last couple of days, it's tummy pain that's really affected you, mainly lower down towards your belly button. It's quite burning, you said. It's getting worse. Um, you noticed some pink urine. Um, but no burning or stinging pain when you pass urine. Your bowels are working OK. You've felt a little bit nauseous, um, and feeling hot and sweaty. Have I got that all right?\n[Patient] Yeah, that sounds, very accurate.\n[Doctor] Is there anything else, perhaps, that you feel like you should share with me at this stage, anything that might be important?\n[Patient] I don't think so, I think I've, you , we've covered everything that's really bothering me.\n[Doctor] Yeah, OK. Um, tell me, tell me a bit more about your um, medical history otherwise. Are you normally fit and well?\n[Patient] Yeah, , well, I haven't had any, surgical, I don't have any surgical history. I don't have any previous, I haven't had any operations before, or, and I'm not on any other medication, I just have the Implanon.\n[Doctor] \n[Doctor] OK. Um, have you had anything like this before in the past? Any similar symptoms?\n[Patient] I've never , I've never had these symptoms before.\n[Doctor] No, OK. Um\n[Doctor] Fine. Um, any other family history I should be aware of? Anything relevant, family, uh related to bowels, maybe related to history?\n[Patient] No, not that , not that I'm aware of, no.\n[Doctor] OK. Alright. Um, and socially, just tell me a bit more about your home situation. Who's at home with you?\n[Patient] Uh, I live in a share house, and with two other, two other room-mates.\n[Doctor] OK. Um, and uh, are you currently working?\n[Patient] Yeah, I currently, I am currently .\n[Doctor] What do you do for work?\n[Patient] I am an accountant.\n[Doctor] OK. Um\n[Doctor] OK. Um, Do you smoke at all, Kim?\n[Patient] No.\n[Doctor] No. And do you drink much in the way of alcohol?\n[Patient] Uh , socially I drink, but uh, I don't think more, more than normal. .\n[Doctor] No, OK.\n[Doctor] OK. Um, just before I go to the examination, I just want to go through just some few screening questions if that's OK, yes or no. Uh, we've, we've covered the majority of them already. Uh, but I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything else.\n[Patient] All right.\n[Doctor] Um, how's your, how's your chest? How's your breathing? Um, any \n[Patient] I don't feel short of breath uh, or, I'm not having any problems, or I don't have a cough or anything that's , worrying me.\n[Doctor] OK. Any uh, funny heartbeats or rhythms, palpitations?\n[Patient] Not that it, no.\n[Doctor] OK. Any headaches? Any problems with your vision?\n[Patient] No.\n[Doctor] No, OK. Alright. Um, Fine, OK. Um, So really just uh, moving on, um, And so based, based on your story really, uh, uh Kim it's, it's it's difficult. it's it's um, you know you've got some tummy pain. You don't exactly know what's causing it. It could be a few different things that could be causing your pain. Could just be a, you know, could just be a urine infection, for example. Could just be something related to your gut. Um, could just be something related to your, you know, a pregnancy-related cause. Um, and so it's probably worth doing some tests initially. to try and rule out um, what's going on here. Um, which I can organize for you today.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Doctor] Um, and basically those tests, we, we'll have a better idea in terms of how we should proceed. But certainly, it if it's been going on for the last couple of days, um, Uh, you know, it's probably maybe worth empirically treating you for a maybe urine infection. And, so it's an \n[Patient] . Yeah, I , can we do that instead of me, going for tests, and then seeing how that goes?\n[Doctor] Yeah, absolutely. So, um I think it's certainly worth, you know covering you with some antibiotics today. Uh, but i still want you to bear in mind, you know, have a pregnancy test done to make sure we're not missing anything else here. And, um, and I want you to kind of really come back and see me in a few days time, if your symptoms are not getting any better, or indeed if they're getting worse. So, things to look out for would be, you know, worsening tummy pain, um, if you're feeling really hot or sweaty, your temperature's not coming down um, vomiting et cetera. Does that make sense?\n[Patient] Yeah, I think I'm happy with that plan.\n[Doctor] OK. Um, you can try just regular painkillers, uh, Paracetamol would be advisable. Um, make sure you drink plenty of fluids. You can try some cranberry juice as well, which uh, can sometimes help with your urine symptoms. Um, take the antibiotics, uh, and give me a call, you know, if you are worried about anything else.\n[Patient] Uh, sure. That sounds great. Thank you very much. Um, should I just collect the script at my pharmacy?\n[Doctor] \n[Doctor] Yeah, if I send it straight to your pharmacy, start the antibiotics today, something called Trimethoprim. Um, you can take two tablets, uh, one tablet twice a day for three days.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Patient] OK, , that sounds great.\n[Doctor] Uh, , let's see how you get on.\n[Patient] OK. Thank you very much.\n[Doctor] Great.

They just called it something a , uh, something like that, a small heart attack.\n[Doctor] It's more hard to say. OK. Was it like angina or, um,\n[Patient] Um.\n[Patient] Uh, no they, they said that it, uh, it seemed, it was like, more than angina.\n[Doctor] OK.\n[Patient] Um, uh, but um, I didn't, but I only had to stay in hospital for a few days, and, uh.\n[Doctor] OK.\n[Doctor] OK.\n[Patient] And yeah, I've been OK since then.\n[Doctor] You've been OK since then. OK, alright. So, apart from the uh, the heart, the heart problems, the heart failure, any other problems I should be aware of?\n[Patient] Uh, no, I think I'm otherwise, I'm OK.\n[Doctor] OK. Um, do you take any regular medications, apart from your diuretics that you're taking? And do you know which ones?\n[Patient] Uh, yeah, I take something called Furosemide.\n[Doctor] . Do you know which dose you're taking?\n[Patient] I can't remember, I'm sorry doctor. I have to check.\n[Doctor] That's OK. No problems. Um, Any other medications?\n[Patient] Uh, yeah.

Thank you, yeah.\n[Doctor] \n[Patient] Um, .\n[Doctor] And a thousand, OK. Alright. Any allergies at all? Any medications?\n[Patient] Uh, no, no allergies.\n[Doctor] No. OK. And is there anything in the family that's, uh, that, that's uh, that's important for me to know? Any family history of medical problems, heart problems, lung problems?\n[Patient] Uh , my, my father died of a, uh, of a heart attack.\n[Doctor] I'm sorry to hear that. And, um, how old was your father when he passed away?\n[Patient] Uh, he was, um, early sixties.\n[Doctor] Early sixties, OK. Alright. Anything else I should be aware of?\n[Patient] Um, my mother had osteoporosis.\n[Doctor] OK. Is your mother still with us?\n[Patient] Uh, yeah, she's still living.\n[Doctor] OK, alright. Um, and socially, sir, just tell me a bit more about your situation at home. Who lives at home with you?\n[Patient] Uh, I live on my own. Well, I got two cats.\n[Doctor] You've got two cats. OK, great. Do they have names?\n[Patient] They're my family. Uh, they're, they're called, um, they're called, Polly and Tim.\n[Doctor] OK. Um, so it's just you and your cats. And um, in terms of day to day, are you working at the moment?\n[Patient] Uh, I work part-time as, a, uh, lorry driver.\n[Doctor] OK. And how is that? Is that quite stressful, long hours?\n[Patient] Uh, it's OK. Um, I uh, yeah , when I'm working it's pretty exhausting.\n[Doctor] Mm.\n[Patient] Um, I guess I'm a bit worried, that if I get sick I won't, if I get more sick then, I won't be able to work properly.\n[Doctor] Yeah, that's certainly a consideration, isn't it? So let's, let's try and get you better soon, so it doesn't have any um, impact on your, on your job.\n[Patient] No.\n[Doctor] Uh, and do you find yourself doing a lot of anti-social hours? Do you , do you do a lot of night driving, weekend driving? \n[Patient] Ohh no, I , I , I, I only take shifts during the day, I don't like working at night.\n[Doctor] OK. OK, alright. And what about smoking and alcohol? So, 'cause that can sometimes be very important when it comes to heart problems. Do you, do you smoke at all?\n[Patient] Not any more.\n[Doctor] So, you used to smoke?\n[Patient] Yeah.\n[Doctor] And how many did you smoke a day, on average?\n[Patient] Ooh it was about, about a pack a day, back in the day.\n[Doctor] Um, and how many, how many years was that for?\n[Patient] Ohh that was, oof, good twenty five years.\n[Doctor] OK. And what about the stopping? That must have been difficult for you. stopping. Um, and what, what about alcohol?\n[Patient] I don't drink alcohol.\n[Doctor] OK. Do you do much in the way of exercise, sir?\n[Patient] Uh, I try and walk to the shops, at least once a day.\n[Doctor] OK.\n[Patient] Um, but uh, that's about it, I've. Yeah, I don't, I don't go running like I used to when i was young.\n[Doctor] OK.\n[Doctor] Right, OK. And certainly now your symptoms, you, you're, you said you're feeling more breathless even walking to the uh, to the shop, she said. Um, right. Ohh um, based on your, based on you history, and having listened to your story, I, I wonder whether you've had a flare-up of your heart failure, sir. Um, Which can sometimes happen. Um, um, and uh,\n[Patient] Mmm. That.\n[Doctor] It's . So, it seems like your heart's not pumping as well as it should be. Um, and obviously having diagnosed with heart failure, there's obviously\n[Patient] What's going on.\n[Doctor] Um, that's the first thing that comes to my mind. Um, now there's a couple of options move forward. Um,\n[Patient] Mmm.\n[Doctor] Given that you're otherwise well at the moment, and having examined you, your chest, and your saturations and blood pressure are all OK, I'm quite happy to increase your dose of Furosemide. Maybe, rather than one tablet a day, we can do two tablets a day, for the first few days. Um, and see, and see how you're getting on.\n[Patient] OK. If you think that'll be better.\n[Doctor] Uh, I think, I think, it's, it's, it's definitely worth treating your symptoms. But what we should also think about is maybe doing a couple of other tests, like a blood test, and maybe an echocardiogram of your heart, to see how well your heart's pumping.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Doctor] Is that something you've had before? Yeah, so um, an , it's a, it's a general scan of your heart. You might have had this done before, when you were diagnosed. And it's just to get a good\n[Patient] What does that?\n[Patient] Ohh yes, I remember now.\n[Doctor] Sorry?\n[Patient] Uh, yeah, I remember now. .\n[Doctor] You remember that. OK, fine. That's something I can organize for you today. And, and that might take a week or two weeks for that to be organized. But, I think certainly in the meantime, let's, um, Let's, let's get a blood test done. We can check your um, you know your full blood count, look for signs of anemia. We can have a check of your kidney function. Um, and we can definitely increase your um, your Furosemide, uh, to you know, one tablet twice a day. But I really like, would like you to come back and see me in about a week's time, see how you're getting on. That sound reasonable?\n[Patient] I think that sounds like a good plan.\n[Doctor] And of course, in the meantime if you are getting more unwell, feel like you're getting more breathless, or you're having any other symptoms like chest pain, or palpitations or dizziness, then, uh, you know I want you to give me a call sooner than that, and we can have a chat on the phone as well.\n[Patient] OK. I'll see how I get on.\n[Doctor] OK? Do you have any questions for me?\n[Patient] Uh, I think that's all pretty clear. Thank you very much Doctor.\n[Doctor] Great, and then well I wish you all the best! Have a good day. OK. Thank you.\n[Patient] OK.

Have you noticed yourself, any, any, any temperatures or fevers? Um, feeling hot and cold? Sweaty?\n[Patient] Yeah, yeah that's, that's, that's, that's definitely something I've noticed. Like, you know in, in bed with the wife and having to, you know get out and, get the blanket off, and put it back on again it's, it's not, it's not pleasant. I mean, I'm keeping her up at night as well, which is a, bloody nightmare but, I mean, you know how these things are.\n[Doctor] .\n[Doctor] .\n[Doctor] Yeah, .\n[Doctor] Seems, seems very difficult at the moment.

I mean again, you know I'm , I'm getting a just a wee bit older now so it, it's, it's not something that I, I was thinking about but, I have, I have noticed like when I, you know, when I'm bending down and.

'Cause I was out, for my wife's, uh she's, she was, doing this wee thing, we had a wee bit of a celebration, so we were out for that.\n[Doctor] .\n[Patient] And I remember saying to her, it was like you know what?

I don't know whether it's like, you know, the restaurant we went to was like, it was like, pretty good, so I wouldn't have expected them to be serving me anything. Dodgy or anything like that but, I , I, I, I don't know, you know. So, , nothing that I can see.\n[Doctor] , OK.\n[Doctor] And , without prying too much, what were you celebrating?\n[Patient] Well, my wife, has just been, uh, promoted. So, she's now going to be, uh, a head teacher, of, of primary school. So, just took her out.\n[Doctor] .\n[Doctor] .\n[Patient] . Yeah, wee, a wee night on the tiles, for that, so uh, it was good, . Yeah, yeah.\n[Doctor] , very nice.\n[Doctor] , good, excellent. So just moving on sir. Uh, regarding your, um, what we say, past medical history. Are you, do you have any other medical problems I should be aware of? So anything to do with your heart, lungs?\n[Patient] Uh, I mean, I'm a , I'm a wee bit, on the chunky side.

What type of , is it type one or type two?\n[Patient] Uh, it's, it's uh, type, two, two. Aye, type one, , aye, aye.

Yeah, OK. .\n[Patient] And uh, aye, when I was speaking to uh, it was this, it was other, another doctor I spoke to a while ago but. Aye when he, took the, when he was telling me this as well he, took my blood pressure and that said that was, that was high, uh, high, higher than it should be.\n[Doctor] .\n[Doctor] .\n[Doctor] You've been diagnosed with high blood pressure, uh, or . OK, all right. So um, moving on. Come to your medications, , which medications do you take on a regular basis?\n[Patient] . Yeah, yeah.\n[Patient] Uh, give me, I'm just gonna check. It's, it's, let me know if I'm pronouncing this correctly 'cause I haven't got, I haven't got my glasses with me. So, it's , Metformin?\n[Doctor] , that's correct, OK.\n[Patient] and, and there's another one, , Lisinopril? Is that? Yeah, . I mean that's those two, I had, I've got them written down a wee bit of paper so.\n[Doctor] OK. Lisinopril, yeah. That sounds like.\n[Doctor] No problems, no problem, that's fine. Anything else sir?\n[Patient] Uh, no, no, just, just, just those two. Yeah, I mean a wee bit of like , a wee bit of Aspirin or whatever every now and again, but you know nothing long-term.\n[Doctor] Right.\n[Doctor] OK, all right. And just moving on swiftly sir. Do you have any allergies at all?\n[Patient] Uh, not that I'm, not that I'm aware of. You know, I mean, what, what are the, what are the allergies you get? Just, you know, nah, not.\n[Doctor] Just allergies to , medications really, I'm, I'm asking not, as opposed to um, other things.\n[Patient] Right ah, yeah. No, nothing, nothing that, nothing that I'm aware of, doctor's never said nothing to me, so.\n[Doctor] .\n[Doctor] OK. And just very briefly, socially sir, just it's very important to ask. Uh, you said you live, with your wife. Anyone else at home with you?\n[Patient] Uh, no, no, kids, the kids have uh, they've flown the nest. So uh, now it's just me and the missus, you know, good life.\n[Doctor] OK.\n[Doctor] OK, OK. And are you, yep, and are you working at the moment? Uh, yourself?\n[Patient] Uh, I am. Yep, yeah, yeah um, .\n[Doctor] What, what do you do at work?\n[Patient] Uh, well I'm, it's one of the, there's a wee factory, just uh, down the road, um, so we just you know, we just manufacture like uh. Uh, it's like, kind of steel, steel parts, uh, things like that. You know, so it's a, good wee job, you know, keeps us, a roof over the, over us.\n[Doctor] \n[Doctor] \n[Doctor] . Pays the bills, really. Um.\n[Patient] Yeah, yeah, aye, exact, exactly.\n[Doctor] What, what about smoking and alcohol, sir? Do you, you do either?\n[Patient] Uh.\n[Patient] I, I do, I do like a wee drink. Uh, aye the doc, the old, doctor I had, he, he, he did say I was drinking just a wee, a wee bit too much. I mean I'm not like, you know I'm not, not an alky or anything, but just, just uh, yeah, do like a few, a few pints every now and again.\n[Doctor] roughly on average, how many you would drink a week?\n[Patient] Uh, pints?\n[Doctor] Well, whatever you drink. Is it , beer, lager, wine, spirits?\n[Patient] . You know, maybe, maybe what like four, four pints on like Saturday and then, you know on, Sunday as well, , maybe like. Nine, nine pints in a week, I would say.\n[Doctor] OK, OK. And what about smoking, sir?\n[Patient] Uh, ugh, , a wee, every now and again, but I'm, I, I am trying to cut that down. I've got a wee uh, what are those wee things called? The wee vaporisers.\n[Doctor] Ohh OK, OK.\n[Patient] Yeah I've got, I got, I got myself one of those, so I've been, I've been cutting down on the cigarettes. Uh, and I just got this wee, this wee thing, it's great, it is, it's actually like amazing, by the way.\n[Doctor] Well, I wish you , all the best on your journey to quit, I , I highly recommend it. Um, if you can, it'll certainly help your health as well. Um, so just to , just to summarise, I think you know, uh, based on your story.\n[Patient] Thank you.\n[Doctor] Um, yeah I'm not, worry. I think you know what you essentially have is a bit of a, a bit of a viral illness perhaps, a bit of a, maybe early signs of a flu, um.\n[Patient] Mm-hmm.\n[Doctor] Which I think should, settle down, um, really on it's own, uh, over time. Um, things to you know, you, you can do, help yourself you know, , stay rested, drink plenty of fluids.\n[Patient] Right.\n[Patient] Yes, aye.\n[Doctor] Um, if you are, if you are feeling hot and cold and sweaty, taking regular Paracetamol would be beneficial. Um, you mentioned feeling a bit short of breath. Um, I'm a little bit on the edge about giving you antibiotics. I don't think you've got a chest infection, but what we could think about is giving you a.\n[Patient] Aye.\n[Doctor] A script for antibiotics, which maybe use in next, twenty four to forty eight hours, if your symptoms don't get better.\n[Patient] Right, so , so if, so if I'm, I just , just lie down and take it easy. If I'm still, feeling a bit rubbish then, I go in, I .\n[Doctor] Yeah.\n[Doctor] Yeah, , I will, yeah, I'll, I'll give you a script today, give it about twenty four to forty eight hours. If you feel like you're still feeling breathless and, run-down, I think there's no harm in starting a course of antibiotics, something like Amoxicillin. One tablet, three times a day. Um, uh, and , if you're still not better by next week, come back and see me, we can have another look.\n[Patient] \n[Patient] All right, OK. OK, so I just, plenty of rest, lots of water, hopefully this thing pass.\n[Doctor] Exactly.\n[Doctor] Yes, absolutely.\n[Patient] Right, that is, that's perfect, that's just what, , what I wanted to hear.\n[Doctor] Great, well, I'm, glad I could help. And um, I wish you and your football team all the best.\n[Patient] Cheers.\n[Patient] Aye, I hope so, I hope so. It's not, not looking too good, but uh, aye.

Has that.\n[Patient] I don't have any spots, and no fever , and I'm not sweating either.\n[Doctor] OK.\n[Doctor] Thank you, for mentioning all those. Um, OK. Uh, so the coconut butter hasn't helped, with the itch?\n[Patient] No, .\n[Doctor] OK. And, uh, you mentioned work's been quite stressful. What do you do for work?\n[Patient] Um, I work as a teacher.\n[Doctor] OK. And, uh, in what way has work been stressful?\n[Patient] I think the kids have been really annoying these days.\n[Doctor] OK. .\n[Patient] And, I've been working really long hours.\n[Doctor] OK, all right. Well I'm sorry to hear that, and I hope it gets better. Um, going back to your skin. I mean is it anything you've done perhaps, uh, which may have triggered your symptoms? Anything you've touched or, you know, for example shower gels, soaps, fabric , fabric cleaners?\n[Patient] , I went swimming a few days ago.\n[Doctor] OK. Is that the first time in your life or have you been before?\n[Patient] Uh, no, I've been before.\n[Doctor] OK. And did your symptoms start after you went swimming?\n[Patient] Uh, yes, .\n[Doctor] OK, all right. Um, you mentioned you've had no other fevers, is that right? No fevers? No vomiting?\n[Patient] No.\n[Doctor] No. How's your health otherwise?\n[Patient] It's pretty good, yeah. I'm not on any medication.\n[Doctor] And all , we'll get to medication in just a second. Um, , do you, do you feel generally run-down? Do you feel tired?\n[Patient] Uh, yeah, I think I have been, quite tired.\n[Doctor] OK, OK. Are you eating and drinking OK?\n[Patient] Yeah, I've been drinking, and eating as normal.\n[Doctor] Your appetite's fine is it? OK. And your bowels, are your bowels working OK?\n[Patient] Yeah.\n[Doctor] Uh, no, no problems with vomiting, or loose stools?\n[Patient] No.\n[Doctor] OK. And your waterworks are uh, all OK? You're passing urine OK?\n[Patient] Yep.\n[Doctor] OK, all right. Um, so just moving on. In terms of your other medical history, is there anything else I should be aware of?\n[Patient] I'm currently taking .\n[Doctor] Microgynon.\n[Patient] Yeah.\n[Doctor] OK. Do you know what that is?\n[Patient] Uh, no.\n[Doctor] OK. , it's a contraceptive pill\n[Patient] \n[Doctor] Does that make sense? Is that something you're, is that, does that ring a bell now?\n[Patient] Ohh yeah.\n[Doctor] OK. Is there, any other medications that you take?\n[Patient] Uh, no.\n[Doctor] No. So, in terms of your medical history, there's no, problems of skin problems in the past, things like eczema or, um, dermatitis?\n[Patient] Uh, no, I think it might just be the weather.\n[Doctor] Sorry what was that? You think it's. The .\n[Patient] I think it might just be the weather.\n[Doctor] The weather?\n[Patient] Yeah, .\n[Doctor] Ohh, you think the , OK. You think the weather, OK. OK. No that's OK, no, no problems. Well um, uh, move . Do you, do you suffer from allergies? Are you someone who suffers from allergies?\n[Patient] Um.\n[Doctor] Food allergies? Medication allergies?\n[Patient] I think, um, I might be lactose intolerant.\n[Doctor] Lactose intolerant, OK, that could be helpful to know. Um, fine. And tell me of family history, is there anything in the family that you're aware of?\n[Patient] Um, yeah, so um, my dad has asthma, and, my mum has hayfever.\n[Doctor] Hayfever, OK. Um, fine, but any, again, any skin problems that you're aware of?\n[Patient] Yep.\n[Patient] Uh, no.\n[Doctor] No, OK, all right. Socially, who do you live with at home?\n[Patient] Ohh, it's just me.\n[Doctor] Live alone?\n[Patient] Yep.\n[Doctor] And, uh, do you smoke at all? Do you, can I ask? Do you smoke? Are you a smoker?\n[Patient] Uh, no, I don't smoke.\n[Doctor] Do you drink much in the way of alcohol?\n[Patient] Uh, no.\n[Doctor] Recreational drugs?\n[Patient] No.\n[Doctor] OK. And you said you , you work as a primary school teacher?\n[Patient] Yes, that's right.\n[Doctor] Uh , the reason I ask is sometimes stress can be a , contributing factor. Um, you felt, you noticed yourself, find, uh, , life's been more stressful recently. Is that right? Do you think that might have any correlation to your symptoms?\n[Patient] I don't. I certainly think so.\n[Doctor] OK, all right. Um, fine. Um. OK, well, normally at this stage I like to proceed to examination, but um, based on your uh, story. Um, it's difficult. I think that, you know, , you've, essentially the story is you've got a dry itchy rash on your, mainly your hands. you mentioned. Um and your arms which started, perhaps after swimming a few days ago. Um, but no other symptoms, you're feeling otherwise, well, no fevers, no bleeding or discharge from skin.\n[Patient] Yep.\n[Doctor] I wonder whether you may have something called dermatitis. Um, have you heard of that condition before?\n[Patient] I have, yeah.\n[Doctor] OK. Um, great. Well I can give you a patient information leaflet about that, which gives a bit more information about the disease, but, um, it, it's something that we can readily treated. Um. With couple options, we have steroid creams I can give you, um, which will help with the inflammation. And, uh, something called emollients, which can help with the dry, dry skin. And that's something you just need to kind of paste on, uh, on to your skin, uh, , throughout the day for the next few days. Um, and hopefully that helps your symptoms.\n[Patient] OK, it's cool. Thank you very much.\n[Doctor] Um, , you can also try antihistamines, so you can get things over the counter, Piriton, Loratadine, they can sometimes help with the itchiness.\n[Patient] Yeah, that sounds good.\n[Doctor] OK. And um, that's probably what I recommend. Paracetamol on this occasion, wouldn't be helpful. Um, uh, uh, painkillers wouldn't be helpful , on this occasion, but let's, let's, let's see how the next few days go. And if it's still not getting better, come back and see me next week, and we can have another look again, at your symptoms.\n[Patient] OK, perfect. Thank you very much.\n[Doctor] Right. Do you have any questions for me?\n[Patient] Uh, no.\n[Doctor] OK. Well, I wish you all the best. Have a good day.\n[Patient] Well, thank you very much. Bye.\n[Doctor] Thank you.

Uh, not sure what to do.\n[Doctor] Right, well , I, thank you for coming in, so hopefully we can help with your symptoms. Um, so you mentioned it started a few days ago. Um, so, can you tell me a bit more about that, what kind of pain it is, that you're experiencing?\n[Patient] Um, it's, it's not too bad, it's sort of like a stinging kind of pain. Um. It's not like unbearable, but uh, it's , it's definitely uh, it definitely bothers me when I pee. Um. And uh, yeah I also maybe sometimes get some like, pain kind of lower down in my tummy, when I, when I go to the bathroom. Uh, yeah.\n[Doctor] \n[Doctor] , OK. And, and, uh, the pain in your tummy, is it, can you describe the , the pain to me? Is it cramping, burning, sharp?\n[Patient] , yeah, I don't know maybe uh, sort of, sort of cramping. I'm not really sure, but it's not like, it's not like cramping like when I get, when I have a period or something. It's like, I don't know, .\n[Doctor] Right, right, OK, OK. Um, fine. And, have you found yourself going to the toilet more often than normal?\n[Patient] Um, not, I don't think so, I haven't noticed that.\n[Doctor] No, OK, fine. Have you noticed any, any funny colour to your urine? So, has there been, uh, , any blood in your urine? Have you noticed any other darkening of urine?\n[Patient] Um, there was a little bit of blood earlier today, um, but besides that, not at all, no. Um. It does kind of, it, it kind of like, doesn't smell very, it smells a bit weird I guess, um, but, no, not really anything uh, anything drastic.\n[Doctor] Yes.\n[Doctor] \n[Doctor] OK, fine, OK. Um, right, let me just , write a few notes down as well. Um. , and you mentioned a tummy pain, that also started a few days ago. Does the pain move anywhere else? Does it move towards the back, or towards your flank, the sides?\n[Patient] No, not really, no.\n[Doctor] No, OK, fine. With those symptoms, have you noticed any other symptoms like nausea, vomiting?\n[Patient] Uh, no, not , not at all.\n[Doctor] OK. Any fevers, or temperatures?\n[Patient] think so.\n[Doctor] , sorry, was there any, any fevers or temperatures? Sorry, I didn't hear you.\n[Patient] No, no, no fever, no.\n[Doctor] No fever, OK, fine, sorry. Um, OK. Um, in terms of your bowel, are your bowels working OK?\n[Patient] Um, uh, I think so, yeah, it seems .\n[Doctor] So, uh, by that I mean, um, any, any diarrhoea, loose stool?\n[Patient] Uh, no, not that I've, not that I've noticed at all.\n[Doctor] OK, all right. And um, Jessica, sometimes we have to ask very private sensitive questions, uh, just to , get a full history. Um, hope you don't mind me asking, but are you currently sexually active?\n[Patient] \n[Patient] Uh, yeah I am.\n[Doctor] OK, is that with a regular, partner?\n[Patient] Ohh, yeah, so I, I've had a boyfriend for about a, a couple of months now, yeah.\n[Doctor] Fine, OK. Um, have you noticed any other discharge from, from down below?\n[Patient] I haven't noticed anything.\n[Doctor] No, OK. When was your last um, uh, last STD screen? If, if ever?\n[Patient] Don't think I've ever, I don't think I've ever had one.\n[Doctor] No, OK, fine. And, and um. Do you use any form of contraception, at all?\n[Patient] Uh, yeah, we use condoms.\n[Doctor] You use condoms, OK. And when was your last, period?\n[Patient] Uh, couple of weeks ago.\n[Doctor] Three weeks ago, OK. Is there any chance you could be pregnant perhaps?\n[Patient] Say again.\n[Doctor] Is there any chance you could be pregnant?\n[Patient] Uh, I don't think so, I don't.\n[Doctor] No, no. , it's always worth asking uh, young females like yourself, um. Uh, um, so if that obviously you are worried about the pain.\n[Patient] Yeah.\n[Doctor] Um, not getting any better, uh, then I'd always , advise getting a pregnancy test, to rule out pregnancy. OK? Um, fine. So just moving on, moving on. Are you otherwise fit and well?\n[Patient] Uh-huh.\n[Patient] Um, yeah, I think I'm, I'm feeling OK, otherwise, yeah.\n[Doctor] And so by that I mean, do you have any other medical problems, medical , medical history?\n[Patient] Um, so, in the past I've had some uh, some IBS. Um. But, other than that I think no like uh, real serious medical problems that seem, yeah.\n[Doctor] OK. Do you take any regular medications?\n[Patient] Uh, no, I did uh, I did uh, a little bit ago, or a couple of days ago, try some uh, over the counter bicarbonate, to try and help with the pain but it wasn't, it wasn't really helping.\n[Doctor] OK. So you've tried that and it didn't help? OK, all right. Um, do you have any allergies to any medications?\n[Patient] Uh, yeah, I'm allergic to, Clindamycin.\n[Doctor] And what happens when you take Clindamycin?\n[Patient] Um, I, I get some like a, a, a swelling, basically.\n[Doctor] Right then, OK. So it's quite a, seems like a quite severe allergy to it, is , is that right? Um, OK. Fine. In terms of your family history, is there anything I should be aware of, um, related to kidneys, bladder, bowels, guts?\n[Patient] Yeah.\n[Patient] Uh, no I don't think so, not that I, not anything I know about.\n[Doctor] OK, all right. And tell me a bit more about your home situation. Who's lives, who's at home with you?\n[Patient] Um, so I live in a, live in a flat near my college, with a, a couple of like friends of mine. Uh, so I'm, I'm not like living at home or anything. Um.\n[Doctor] OK, and what .\n[Patient] about sorry.\n[Doctor] OK, and are you a, are you working at the moment, or are you a student?\n[Patient] I'm a student.\n[Doctor] OK, and what are you studying?\n[Patient] Uh, I'm studying biology.\n[Doctor] And how's that going?\n[Patient] Um, it's good yeah, it's really, it's really interesting uh, learning about, learning about how uh, how the world works, yeah.\n[Doctor] great. Do you have any aspirations for the future, in terms of careers?\n[Patient] Uh, I don't know, maybe a doctor someday, you never know.\n[Doctor] , recommend it, we need doctors. Um, what about smoking and alcohol? Do you drink much in the way of, , do you, do you smoke, or do you drink much in the way of alcohol?\n[Patient] Uh, I don't, I don't smoke, uh, I do drink, like on the weekends, yeah.\n[Doctor] , so socially, OK. All right. Um, right, excellent. So, um, at this stage I , I would proceed to examination.\n[Patient] Yeah.\n[Doctor] But um, based on your story, um, just to summarise really. So, last three days, you've been having bit of burning pain on passing urine. A bit of, crampy tummy pain lower down. Um, , essentially but, but no other fevers or back pain, uh, if I, if I understand correctly.\n[Patient] \n[Doctor] I think probably do have what we call a simple UTI or urinary tract infection, bladder infection, um, which can be readily treated. So, I'll give you a course of antibiotics today.\n[Patient] Mm-hmm.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Doctor] Something, called either Nitrofurantoin, or Trimethoprim. Uh, and it's normally a three day course. Uh, so, one tablet, twice a day, for three days.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Doctor] And , that should hopefully help your symptoms, but I also advise you to drink plenty of fluids. Let's try and flush that, you know, that infection out of your body, if you can.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Doctor] Um, you can try, cranberry juice, that can sometimes help with your symptoms. Um, and if you're still not better, by the end of this week, I want you to give me a call or come back and see me. And uh, we can have another look at your symptoms.\n[Patient] \n[Patient] OK, so three days of the medication, and then wait a little bit, if it still doesn't go away, call back, that OK?\n[Doctor] OK.\n[Doctor] Yeah, yeah absolutely. And things to look out for would be, you know, if you are having kind of, high temperatures, a back pain, um just , generally feeling more unwell. Uh, you know, I do want you give me a call back, 'cause then we do worry whether your infection may be spreading up towards your kidneys, which is something we wanna avoid. So, do, do give me a call if you're having any concerns, OK.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Patient] OK, is there, is there anything like, like, should I be worried about? Like, like, not having sex or anything within the next week, or anything like this?\n[Doctor] Yeah I mean if you can try and avoid it, I think that'd be sensible. Um, uh, it's great that you're using barrier contraception. I would recommend you to continue using barrier contraception, but if you can avoid it while your symptoms clear up. That'd probably be the best for you and your boyfriend,.\n[Patient] OK, OK. Uh, that, that makes sense. Ohh, OK, thank you so much.\n[Doctor] All right. Great. Thank you very much.

And how can I help you this afternoon, Dan?\n[Patient] Um so I've just um, been having some troubles, basically in the uh, I guess it's been a little while now. And I've just been feeling not so great. And It's all come from like, uh it's like basically I think it's diarrhoea. And it's like just coming out, like loads of it. Like I go to the toilet and it's just super watery and it Yeah it doesn't feel very solid. It so, it just, it's just pouring straight from my bum, and like just coming out. And it's, uh, Yeah it's just uh not, not been very pleasant. And like I just, it just kind of hasn't, doesn't feel like it's getting better. So\n[Doctor] Wow, no. Sorry to hear. Seems like there's a lot going on there. Well, when did it all start, your symptoms?\n[Patient] Um, so I think it was a few, when I think about it So Monday, Tuesday, I I, so I think it was about three, it's been about three days now.\n[Doctor] OK. And is it mainly diarrhoea? So, you mentioned watery stools. Um How many times are you going a day, would you say?\n[Patient] Um so I , I feel like it's like almost every hour, when I'm awake. Um, so . Sorry?\n[Doctor] Alright, wow. OK. So you're losing a lot of, a lot of, you're using a lot of fluid there.\n[Patient] Yeah, so I mean I'm , I'm trying to drink a lot of water. But um, yeah it's just quite a lot and Uh it's, yeah I I, I think I I feel like it's just, just fluids coming out.\n[Doctor] OK. Have you got any blood in your stools?\n[Patient] Um So I, no I don't, I don't remember anything, like, no I , I think it's just I, nothing like that. There's nothing like that.\n[Doctor] OK. And any, any tummy pain? Any, any, any pain in your tummy? \n[Patient] Yeah. I mean I, it, I feel, I feel a cramp. and then, and then I know it's time to go right? So, around every hour I just feel something come up. And then I have to go. So, yeah I mean that's, that's the , kind of the first sign.\n[Doctor] \n[Doctor] Where is this crampy pain? Which part of your tummy?\n[Patient] It's kind of, . If I think about it, it's like, it's like at the bottom. Uh, I don't know if that makes sense. Um\n[Doctor] . Well why don't we start with, is it, is it in the middle, or is it to one particular side?\n[Patient] Um I I think it it , it feels pretty , like in the middle, to me. Not on any side, left or right.\n[Doctor] OK. And does the pain come and go, or is it there constantly?\n[Patient] Um, it it comes and goes. It comes and goes.\n[Doctor] . Fine, OK. And if I was to ask you on a scale of one to ten, ten being the worst pain you ever had, how bad is this pain?\n[Patient] OK so like Um\n[Patient] So What do you mean by, uh pain? So I, I think it's maybe a\n[Doctor] Is it, is this pain as in making you double over? Is it ten, is it ten out of ten, the worst pain you ever had? Or is it more of a kind of a mild pain, like a three out of ten?\n[Patient] I I guess so. I'm, when I think about it, like when I get it, I can pretend that I don't feel it. So I can still sit down and Uh I can still like cover it up, and people don't really notice. So I, I don't know what that means. But maybe is that like a six, or a seven? \n[Doctor] solid six. OK, OK. Alright, good. Um, and apart from the pain and diarrhea, any other symptoms like nausea, vomiting?\n[Patient] OK.\n[Patient] Um, yeah I definitely, I definitely feel kind of nauseous. Um Like I and, like I've have vomited. And when I like, I think it's maybe something to do with like, whenever I have like milk or something like that, I just feel like I want to vomit. And actually, yeah one time I just like had some milk, and I just completely vomited it.\n[Doctor] Not sleeping. OK, alright. Uh\n[Patient] Um, I've been, I've been trying to avoid it. But um, yeah.\n[Doctor] And the vomiting is not as pronounced as the diarrhea. Is that right?\n[Patient] Um, sorry could you repeat that?\n[Doctor] and the vomiting is not as, uh, prominent as the diarrhea. Is that right?\n[Patient] Uh no, no it's not.\n[Doctor] OK. OK, alright. Um, any other symptoms, like fevers or temperatures?\n[Patient] Um so I, yeah I think I am pretty, I feel kind of really hot all the time. And uh I'm pretty sure I'm burning up. I haven't actually done any temperature reading, or anything like that. But it's, I, yeah I've, I've sure I'm, I'm not a, like not a normal temperature.\n[Doctor] OK.\n[Doctor] OK, so you're feeling hoarse. OK. And in terms of your waterworks, are you passing urine OK?\n[Patient] Um yeah a bit, I guess less frequently maybe. Um but yeah, it seems to be OK.\n[Doctor] OK, alright. Um, fine. And, and you said that, you mentioned, three days ago was when it all kicked off. Are you aware of any triggers? I mean, have you for example gone out, had some takeaway food? Have you been around anyone else, um with diarrhea, for example?\n[Patient] Um so I , so my um my brother has had, actually had something like this for um he has it as well for five days, as well. Um and I I've, I'm not, yeah I I can't think of what, what the trigger is for me. I mean, my brother normally can deal, deals with this stuff a lot better than me. But , yeah I, that's why\n[Doctor] Is your, is your brother now better?\n[Patient] Um He, so he's been like this for five days. I think he's getting better, but I'm not, I'm not really sure. He said, he said he had, he's had something for a little while as well.\n[Doctor] OK, alright. Are you having anything to eat or drink? Have you, I can see you're drinking a coffee, but are you keeping it down? Are you keeping your fluids down?\n[Patient] Um so it just feels like the, the fluids do go down. But it just feels like it's going straight through. It just feels like it's going straight through.\n[Doctor] OK, alright. Fine. When was the last time you had anything solid to eat? And which , which uh which you kept in?\n[Patient] Um so, I had some, I mean I had some lunch today. Um But again it just it just came, come out pretty loose.\n[Doctor] OK, alright. Um and and Dan, moving forwards, are you otherwise fit and well, or do you have any other medical history?\n[Patient] Um, so I um, yeah I think, I think otherwise I'm fit and well. I um Yeah I mean I, I'm an OK weight. And um, I I can't think of any related medical history. Um, I mean like my, yeah I no I I don't think so.\n[Doctor] Good.\n[Doctor] I'll take it you don't take any regular medications, then.\n[Patient] So I Um\n[Patient] No I mean I, I've been taking some like Paracetamols and stuff like that lately. But uh, I haven't been, I'm not on any regular medication or anything like that.\n[Doctor] OK. And do you have any allergies to any medications?\n[Patient] Um, so I don't have any allergies that I know of.\n[Doctor] OK. And what about any family history? Do you have any family history of bowel problems? \n[Patient] Um bowel, so would, would bowel like, is is the colon like something that\n[Doctor] Yeah, yeah. So what I mean by bowel is the whole gut. So it could be anything from the mouth anus.\n[Patient] So my, yeah my, my dad actually has um colon cancer at the moment.\n[Doctor] Ohh dear. I'm very sorry to hear that. How is he?\n[Patient] So um, from what I heard he's kind of, So I don't I don't speak to him that often. So I don't, I don't know the exact details. And I, I don't exactly know the full things of like the steps of cancer, and all that kind of thing. But um, he's sort of in his third stage. Uh, I'm not sure what that means exactly.\n[Doctor] \n[Patient] Um, and yeah. So yeah it's, it's um, he's, yeah you can, yeah I can see he's kind of weaker, and it's affecting him a lot. And um, that's it's quite, I I guess he's um, had it for a little while now.\n[Doctor] Yeah, OK.\n[Doctor] \n[Doctor] Yeah I'll make a not of that 'cause uh, important to know these kind of details. Um, and socially, tell me more about your home situation. Who's at home with you, Dan?\n[Patient] Um so, uh not my brother. He doesn't live with me. I'm, I live with my, um sister and my mum.\n[Doctor] OK. And, uh, how are things at home?\n[Patient] Um, I think, I mean in what sense do you mean that?\n[Doctor] Don't . in general day-to-day life are you managing OK? Any particular ?\n[Patient] I mean uh I think uh, yeah it's been, it's been tricky. Um Going to work with all of this. Um I dislike um, taking time off work. I feel like I I just want to go, um when I can. So I I try and go um I think at, at home, uh yeah I just haven't really um I I don't normally actually um, eat with my family. I normally am buying stuff and that kind of thing. So, I don't think it's affected them. And I haven't really been, haven't really gone into detail with my sister and my mom about it. Um Yeah. I'd, I'd just rather deal with these things. Um so \n[Doctor] Sure. you mentioned work. You mentioned work. What is it you do for work?\n[Patient] Um So I work at a, I I work at um an office, um in Central London. Um it's uh, so I work in government.\n[Doctor] , OK. So , OK right. And just a couple last final couple, uh couple questions. Uh, smoking and alcohol, do you do either? Do you smoke, or do you drink much in the way of alcohol?\n[Patient] Um so I I smoke um, I smoke uh, uh for like socially, but not like regularly. Um So normally if if it's a, a Friday or something like that I might, I might have a cigarette or something like that. But um not .\n[Doctor] \n[Patient] Sorry?\n[Doctor] And alcohol?\n[Patient] So alcohol, um uh you know I might have a a beer during the weekdays, maybe uh not that many, maybe um . On Fridays I have more um alcohol um\n[Doctor] But not .\n[Patient] But yeah uh, I'll have my units um\n[Doctor] \n[Patient] Uh, honest, I suppose um, not every week, but maybe I'll once or twice a month, that yeah, I'll go out with my friends and drink a lot so that that's um, yeah um\n[Doctor] \n[Doctor] Well thank you for me. That's really helpful to know. So um, Dan, just as a a conclusion, uh um, just to wrap it all up, I think your symptoms are suggestive of something called gastroenteritis.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Doctor] bit of a basic infection of your tummy. . There's nothing to worry about. Uh um uh uh I suspect this will just settle down in the next few days.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Doctor] Just like you did for you brother. Drink, make sure you drink plenty of fluids, OK? And you can \n[Patient] Uh-huh.\n[Patient] Should I just drink like normal water? I just feel like every time I drink it's just coming out. Um \n[Doctor] Right. fluid is probably best. But I am obviously worried about the fact that you are losing minerals and vitamins. Um so, you can get things like Diarolyte, which is um, a fluid replacement you can get from the pharmacy. It's probably worth uh recommending that.\n[Patient] Do i need like a prescription for that?\n[Doctor] no, you can just get that over the counter.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Doctor] Um, you can try just you know regular Paracetamol if you are feeling feverish. But if your symptoms aren't settling down in the next couple of days, so forty eight hours, I want you to give me a call back.\n[Patient] \n[Doctor] Because um, you know if you are getting dehydrated then we need to do further investigations, OK? But I think let's, let's see how you are in the next one to two days.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Doctor] And uh, we'll catch up soon, OK?\n[Patient] OK. So you're saying that I should, I could, uh I'll try and buy this Dioralyte. What, what should I do in terms of um, food and that kind of thing? Should I just focus on fluids?\n[Doctor] clear fluids. You can use soft diet, things like soup, mash. And then gradually build up, um as much as your body can tolerate. Um, but let's try and keep yourself well-hydrated first, OK?\n[Patient] OK. Is it OK for me to carry on having like, um Paracetamol and things like that?\n[Doctor] Absolutely. If you are having, if you've got a bit of tummy pain, if you're feeling feverish, then I think Paracetamol is very sensible.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Doctor] OK? Try and avoid alcohol if you can.\n[Patient] Uh, OK I'll try. Yeah.\n[Doctor] OK. Alright then.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Doctor] Thank you for your help.\n[Patient] Alright. Thank you very much.

Um, thanks for, thanks for, being here. Um, before I go any further, can I uh, confirm your name and your age please?\n[Patient] Yes, it's um Adriana Katherine . And I'm twenty six year old.\n[Doctor] \n[Doctor] OK, Adriana, and how can I help you this afternoon?\n[Patient] Well, I have this like really crazy headache that's been going on for a few days. And it really annoys me.\n[Doctor] Ohh dear, OK. , when, when did it exactly start, this headache?\n[Patient] Eh, around three days ago, maybe.\n[Doctor] Three days ago, OK. And whereabout in your head, is this pain?\n[Patient] Um, it's basically like, it kind of feels all over my head, but like mainly, um, around my right eye. Um\n[Doctor] , OK. Um, and is the, headache there all the time, or does it come and go?\n[Patient] Um it's, it kind of comes and goes. Um but, I mean it is there all the time, but like sometimes it's stronger.\n[Doctor] OK, so it comes and, fine, OK. And if I was to ask you on a scale of one to ten, um, ten being the worst type of pain you ever had. How would you rate this headache?\n[Patient] Ohh it's probably a eight.\n[Doctor] Eight. And if I was to ask you describe the headache to me, um, in terms of the nature of the pain. Is it sharp? Is it dull? Is it crampy? Is it throbbing?\n[Patient] Um, it's kind of, it's dull but sometimes it gets a bit sharper. So basically it like, it developed gradually, I guess. It's like the first day it just started when I was at work.\n[Doctor] Mm-hmm.\n[Patient] And by the end of the day it was like pretty, pretty, like it was a lot, basically. And then I was thinking OK, maybe I'll just go to sleep. And when I woke up the next morning like, it was even, even worse basically. So\n[Doctor] Mm-hmm.\n[Doctor] So, you think the headache is getting worse over the last three days?\n[Patient] Yeah.\n[Doctor] OK. Have you tried anything which has made the headache better?\n[Patient] Um so I tried uh Ibuprofen. Um so I took, like a few. Um for the last two days, basically.\n[Doctor] Did that help?\n[Patient] But it doesn't really help, no. In in the past it did help me, which is why I decided to try it. But\n[Doctor] OK, all right. And except for the headaches, any other symptoms at all?\n[Patient] Um\n[Doctor] So, example any, problems your eyesight or your vision?\n[Patient] Not really, but just when it started, I I got this like weird shooting lights. And like now like light is quite annoying, my eyes.\n[Doctor] So when you say annoying, does it hurt to look, uh, look at bright lights?\n[Patient] Yeah, yeah. It hurts. So\n[Doctor] , OK. And um, have you had any loss of vision or blurry vision?\n[Patient] Not loss of vision, I wouldn't say. It's just like some lights from, shooting lights .\n[Doctor] Mmm, , OK. Any nausea or any vomiting?\n[Patient] Um, well I'm like basically, I I'm sick with the headache. But I, no vomiting.\n[Doctor] When you say sick, you mean you feel sick? OK. Yeah, no vomiting, OK. Any neck pain or neck stiffness?\n[Patient] Yeah.\n[Patient] No.\n[Doctor] OK. And any difficulty with speaking or, um, speech?\n[Patient] No.\n[Doctor] Any difficulty , with weakness in your arms and legs?\n[Patient] No, it's hard to focus though. So, I I had to take a couple of days off work, actually.\n[Doctor] Ohh really? OK. OK, yeah probably, well I'll, I'll ask you a bit more about your work later on. Um, any recent head injuries at all?\n[Patient] Uh, no.\n[Doctor] OK. And have you had anything like this before in the past?\n[Patient] Yeah I mean, headaches, you mean.\n[Doctor] Or, uh, or similar, similar to, similar to this kind of headache, ?\n[Patient] Yeah. I mean I had. But, usually after I I take uh Ibuprofen it kind of goes away. So, but this time it's just not. .\n[Doctor] not, OK. All right. Um, any temperatures, or fevers?\n[Patient] No.\n[Doctor] Any rashes at all, on your skin?\n[Patient] Mm, no not that I've noticed.\n[Doctor] OK. And just moving forwards. Are you otherwise fit and well, Adriana?\n[Patient] Am I what, sorry?\n[Doctor] You fit and well? , do you have any other medical history?\n[Patient] Yeah, I think so. It's just the headache.\n[Doctor] Any history of migraines at all?\n[Patient] Not myself, I've never had a migraine. But my sister and my mom have them quite frequently.\n[Doctor] OK. Um, fine. I'll ask you a bit more about that in just a second. Before I go any further, can I ask, do you take any regular medication?\n[Patient] Uh, no no.\n[Doctor] Are you on the pill?\n[Doctor] OK. Do you have any allergies to any medications?\n[Patient] Mm not that I know of.\n[Doctor] OK. So you mentioned your mother and sister both have migraines.\n[Patient] Yeah.\n[Doctor] Are they, is that normally well-controlled or are they um, having difficulty, controlling their symptoms?\n[Patient] Um so my sister's, like better. Like it's kind of, it's very rare. But my mom's is like quite bad, um usually when there's like a season changing and stuff like that. It's, yeah.\n[Doctor] Mm-hmm, OK.\n[Patient] Takes her out for a few days, basically.\n[Doctor] Ohh right, OK, fine. Um, socially, tell me a bit more about your life, outside of, um, outside of, work. So , who lives at home with you?\n[Patient] Uh I live with housemates. So, three of them. So we're four .\n[Doctor] OK. Excellent. And are you working at the moment? You mentioned this , impacting on your work.\n[Patient] Yeah so I work, well I work in IT. So I work with computers a lot. So it kind of is difficult to focus. Um I had to like reduce the uh, brightness of my screen.\n[Doctor] Mmm. OK. Do you wear glasses?\n[Patient] Yes, I do.\n[Doctor] Have you had any, uh, have you had any recent eye check, done? Eye test?\n[Patient] No, uh I've been wearing them since I was five , five year old. So, it's quite a long time.\n[Doctor] OK, all right. Something for you to bear in mind if you feel that you are, your eyes are straining. Um I would always recommend having a repeat eye test done. Um, have you been feeling more stressed or anxious at work recently?\n[Patient] \n[Patient] Well, it's been a bit stressful, kicking off a new project. But um, yeah nothing out of the ordinary, really.\n[Doctor] OK, all right. Great. Um, regarding smoking or alcohol. Do you drink or smoke at all?\n[Patient] I socially smoke. And I drink only socially.\n[Doctor] But only socially? OK. Right. Now um, Adriana, do you have any ideas as to what could be causing your symptoms? Have you, have you read anything online, or spoken to people?\n[Patient] Um Not really. Um at first I thought it's stress, or maybe I didn't drink enough water. Because sometimes when I don't drink enough water, I I like get headaches. Um\n[Doctor] Mm-hmm.\n[Patient] But, I don't think that's it. And I'm like worried, it's, I don't want it to be a migraine. Because I know what it's like, from my mom and my sister.\n[Doctor] \n[Doctor] Mmm.\n[Patient] And it's really annoying. So I I really don't want to have that. And I know it's genetic. So I've researched that. Um but I don't know if that is the case. So, yeah.\n[Doctor] OK. Is it anything in particular you were hoping I could do for you today?\n[Patient] Yeah maybe just kinda, if you have any recommendations of that I can take something stronger. Because apparently, Ibuprofen doesn't help me. Uh\n[Doctor] OK.\n[Patient] Usually it gets resolved if I have headache in like, after like one or two days. But currently it, it didn't help me.\n[Doctor] How many tablets did you take of Ibuprofen?\n[Patient] Uh, three a day.\n[Doctor] Three a day, OK. All right. Um, so uh, Adriana, so um, really what I think is going on here. I , uh, unfortunately I do think this could be, a headache very similar to a migraine.\n[Patient] \n[Doctor] Um, the reason I say that is because the history is very suggestive of it, given your mum and your sister also migraines. I think it's something for us to think about. Um, now I'm not saying it's gonna, keep happening, but, it may just be a one-off. But it's certainly worth treating it today stronger analgesia or painkillers. Um, now moving forward, we have some options which we can discuss. Uh, you tried the Ibuprofen. Now, my only worry is, I'm not sure whether you're taking, the correct dose. You can take up to two tablets, three times a day.\n[Patient] Ohh right.\n[Doctor] So, so , there's definitely room for, improvement there. Or, I can prescribe you something stronger, like Naproxen, which is another anti-inflammatory, which can be helpful.\n[Patient] Mm-hmm.\n[Doctor] Um, we can also add in other, painkillers like, Paracetamol, or Codeine. Which might be helpful as well.\n[Patient] Mm, yeah. I think is what my mom takes for when she has um, um migraines.\n[Doctor] OK. And I think it's , certainly worth looking into that, so I can give you a , prescription for that today. Um, with regards to um, the next few days. It may be worth keeping a headache diary so we can try and work out what's, you know, if there's any triggers which could be causing your headaches to become worse.\n[Patient] Mm-hmm.\n[Doctor] And, and, you know I'd like you to come back and see me, in about uh, a week's time, week to two weeks' time. If you are having , more frequent episodes of these type of headaches. We can think about giving you medications as, prophylactic. Which basically means, medications to stop you from having these headaches on a regular basis. But we can have that discussion next time.\n[Patient] Mm, OK.\n[Doctor] OK. In the meantime if your headaches aren't getting any better, or they're getting worse. Um, you know, I want you to give me a call, or come back and see me sooner. OK?\n[Patient] OK. Yeah.\n[Doctor] So, if you're having any problems with your vision, or weakness in your arms and legs, or you're just not feeling very well. Just give me a call, and come back and see me.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Doctor] All right?\n[Patient] Great.\n[Doctor] Great. Well, have a good day.\n[Patient] Thank you. You too.

Let's focus on your cough first. Can you tell me a bit more about your cough?\n[Patient] Uh, it's just so continuous. It's really, really frustrating. It's quite dry. And it's just all day, it like keeps me up at night as well, which is really annoying.\n[Doctor] OK. So it's a dry cough. So you're not bringing up any , you're not bringing up any mucky, ohh I can hear that, yeah. Um you're not bringing up any uh, mucky phlegm or anything like that. No, OK. So it keeps you up at night.

But it's not like, you know not more than, than that. You know just, just my throat is irritated from coughing. But it's not like, it's not that bad when I swallow or anything.\n[Doctor] \n[Doctor] Right. Do you have any uh, how are your ears? Do you ears feel blocked or?\n[Patient] No.They feel OK, actually. Yeah. . Nothing, nothing on the ears.\n[Doctor] No pain, no discharge coming from your ears. \n[Doctor] OK, alright. Um fine. In terms of your breathing, how is your , how's your chest? Is your breathing more labored?\n[Patient] Um, I don't think so. Like, I guess I get laboured when I'm coughing and I can't breathe. But I, not, yeah, not, I, I don't think so. Not really.\n[Doctor] Day to day when you walk around, uh you don't feel breathless do you?\n[Patient] I don't feel restless. No, I feel you know, generally tired.\n[Doctor] \n[Doctor] OK. OK.\n[Patient] So like, yeah, but not, not anything special with my chest.\n[Doctor] Any pain in your chest? \n[Patient] No not, not that either.\n[Doctor] OK. You mentioned feeling tired. Um have you felt feverish at all? Have you had a temperature?\n[Patient] Um I've been having like, like shivers, even when I'm in, when I'm in bed. You know like, when you, when you go to sleep and, and you feel like I I should be warm. But I'm still, still you know, shivering a little bit.\n[Doctor] \n[Doctor] OK.\n[Patient] But I haven't taken my temperature, so I'm not a hundred percent sure if I had a fever. But it feels like I probably did. 'Cause I was just, I was next to my boyfriend. And he was completely warm and totally fine. And I just like couldn't stop shivering. And kept adding more sweaters on, and I was still cold.\n[Doctor] \n[Doctor] OK. OK. OK. Alright. Um, fine. And in terms of any other symptoms, so have you had any nausea? Have you had any vomiting?\n[Patient] No. No, no nausea. No vomiting. Like, um yeah, nothing like that.\n[Doctor] OK.\n[Doctor] How's your appetite?\n[Patient] Um, I mean it's OK. I, at the beginning, like when I was starting to have the , the , the coughing and stuff. Um, I had a little bit of diarrhea. Um but, but it didn't, it didn't cut my appetite or anything. I just like, my stomach wasn't feeling great.\n[Doctor] \n[Doctor] \n[Doctor] OK. Has that got better now, the diarrhea?\n[Patient] Yeah, yeah. It got better. It was only like the first, like it started at the same time as the cough started. And then it stopped. So I thought everything would be fine. But then the cough just kept going.\n[Doctor] OK fine. Um, any problems with your waterworks at all? \n[Patient] With my what?\n[Doctor] Uh your your waterworks, your urine. \n[Patient] Ohh. Uh, no. No no, it's fine.\n[Doctor] you're passing urine OK. You're drinking plenty of fluids, and passing urine OK.\n[Patient] No. I, I drank loads of water, when I started having the diarrhea. Now that it stopped, I just went back to normal.\n[Doctor] OK, alright. Um in terms of any other thing, do you notice any, any find any skin rashes, or um problems with your muscles or joints?\n[Patient] Uh like my, you know when I had the, when I was telling you I had like the, I had chills, and I was really cold. My muscle was really hurting.\n[Doctor] Yeah. OK. \n[Patient] Sometimes I do pilates. But like, it's hurting me so much at the moment. Um so, to be honest, all I feel like doing is just lying in bed.\n[Doctor] Right.\n[Doctor] Right, OK. OK. I'm sorry. That must be very difficult for you. \n[Patient] Yeah, right. Especially like in my arms, my legs, like just everywhere basically.\n[Doctor] quite lethargic and weak, you mentioned. Um, OK. And um, April are you normally otherwise fit and well?\n[Patient] Yeah, pretty much.\n[Patient] Am I normally what?\n[Doctor] Uh fit and well. So do you have any other medical history?\n[Patient] Uh, well I have type two diabetes. And I have quite high blood pressure.\n[Doctor] OK.\n[Doctor] OK. And what do you take for your blood pressure? Any, or what what medications do you take on a regular basis, if you don't mind saying?\n[Patient] Um I take Metformin for the diabetes. And I take Lisinopril for the high blood pressure.\n[Doctor] Yep.\n[Doctor] Zinopril. OK, fine. Any allergies at all, to medications?\n[Patient] No. No allergies.\n[Doctor] No, OK. Regarding any family history, is there anything I should be aware of?\n[Patient] Uh my dad also has type two diabetes. But I think that's it.\n[Doctor] OK, alright. Who's looking after your diabetes? Is there anyone, is there a doctor in a hospital, who looks after your diabetes?\n[Patient] I just regularly go see a doctor. Um, that just checks up on it. Same with the high blood pressure. Like I, I have it under control. And since I've started taking this medication, I've just been like regularly checking that it, it's under control.\n[Doctor] \n[Doctor] Right, excellent. And in terms of your social situation, who lives at home with you?\n[Patient] Uh just, it's just me and my partner.\n[Doctor] lives OK, um fine. Is your partner well at the moment?\n[Patient] Yeah he has none of this. Like he's just going ahead like, like nothing. Like I was a bit worried that I would pass it to him but, not uh, diarrhea, nothing, fine.\n[Doctor] Right, OK. So he\n[Doctor] Go away, he's got away with it, at the moment. OK. And uh, are you working at the moment, April?\n[Patient] \n[Patient] Uh, yeah I am working. But the, the first day I skipped. because I was feeling just too shit. Um, but then, I just felt like had to go back, 'cause I had so much to do. So I've been going in. But it's not been fun.\n[Doctor] Yeah.\n[Doctor] \n[Doctor] No, I can imagine. What is it that you do for work?\n[Patient] Uh, I am a developer.\n[Doctor] Ohh, so you work in the IT field. OK. IT field. Right, OK. Uh\n[Patient] yeah. Work in IT. not too active a job. Uh, yeah.\n[Doctor] No. Has it been quite stressful recently?\n[Patient] Not more than usual. I don't think it's related to stress. Like I, I don't feel like I've had a particularly hard time at work that way. Um\n[Doctor] OK.\n[Doctor] The reason I ask is sometimes\n[Patient] I've been able to take a day off to try and recover. So yeah, I don't think it's related.\n[Doctor] Sure. reason I ask is because sometimes stress can really affect your immune system. Um but uh it's good to know you're you're you're not feeling stressed. Um, do you smoke at all, April?\n[Patient] I used to, but I've stopped for about six months now.\n[Doctor] OK. Um and what about alcohol?\n[Patient] I mean, yeah I, I don't think I drank that much. Like, I I don't really know how you count the units. So I guess like I don't drink more than like, like, let's say three evenings a week? And I rarely get like properly drunk, or anything.\n[Doctor] And what is it that you drink?\n[Patient] Wine, mostly.\n[Doctor] The wine. How much do you drink on those nights?\n[Patient] Uh, I'd say like maybe two or three glasses.\n[Doctor] OK. So um, yeah so you're probably just about under the limit of um, the recommended limit. Something think about, just in terms of your blood pressure and diabetes, maybe something that you can maybe cut down on if you can.\n[Patient] Yeah? I should cut down on it.\n[Doctor] really ideally, the the the right answer is to cut down completely. But so in practice I know that's not realistic. So maybe for the first few weeks, why don't you cut down to two glasses a week. And then, one week thereafter Um and if you are coping OK, then you can maybe try and cut down altogether.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Doctor] OK? Just something for you to think about. Um, right so uh just as we wrap up really, um April I think based on your story, I think uh essentially I think you're, you're going through a bit of a bit of a viral illness. Um, I don't think there's anything to worry about.\n[Patient] Yeah.\n[Doctor] You know you've had a bit of a cough, bit of a runny nose, feeling quite weak and lethargic. I'm hoping that, you know, you're probably over the worst of it now. It's been five days. I'm hoping you're maybe going to get better in the next couple of days. It normally lasts for about a week to ten days.\n[Patient] What, what should I do if it just keeps going on and on? Like if it's still going on in, in say four days?\n[Doctor] Yeah, absolutely. So, you know things you can do to help yourself in the meantime is to, you know get some nice, good rest. Drink plenty of fluids. Keep yourself well-hydrated. You can take regular Paracetamol. If you feel like you're still not getting any better in two to three days, it's probably worth coming back to see me again. We can check you over. And if you are still feeling feverish, um and your cough isn't getting any better, then we may look to give you some antibiotics for your chest. some of the uh uh common source of infection. Um\n[Patient] Do you think I should keep going to work? Or do you think I should just\n[Doctor] Yeah so I think you know , really I think it depends on you. it's um if you are coughing, then there is a theoretical, you know risk that you're maybe slightly infectious still. So I would say maybe take a day or two off work, if you can. Uh and get some good bed rest. Um and maybe think about work early next week.\n[Patient] OK. OK. Thank you.\n[Doctor] But um, if your cough isn't getting any better, or your breathing is getting worse, I want you to come back and see me sooner. OK?\n[Patient] OK. But otherwise, I don't need to worry.\n[Doctor] No no no , nothing to worry about otherwise.\n[Patient] OK. Alright. Thank you very much.\n[Doctor] OK. Well, have a good day.

Like it's very, it's very bad in my hands.\n[Doctor] OK. Can I ask why have you come to see me today? Uh is it because it's got worse recently, your symptoms?\n[Patient] Yeah I mean, it's gotten to a point where, where it hurts a lot. And I can't really do my job. So, I thought I should probably get it checked out.\n[Doctor] Yeah, that sounds like a very sensible plan. Um, which part of your hands are affected, mainly?\n[Patient] Uh the palm. I don't get, yeah.\n[Doctor] Um, OK alright. Um, have you any itchiness in your palms?\n[Patient] Yeah, it's itchy. Not all the time, but yeah, it does get itchy.\n[Doctor] OK. Any bleeding at all?\n[Patient] Um um I don't, I mean, no I don't think so.\n[Doctor] you scratch yourself, you scratching yourself often, and bleeding?\n[Patient] Um, yeah I guess when I scratched it, yes it has bled sometimes but, yeah. Otherwise, it hasn't bled on its own.\n[Doctor] OK. Um, fine. Uh OK. Sorry, I'm writing notes as we go along. Um, and you mentioned that skin is quite cracked as well. Is that right?\n[Patient] Yes, that's right.\n[Doctor] OK, alright. Um , I know it's a long time ago, but do you remember how it all started? what were you doing at the time when it all started? Is it anything you may have done, to bring your symptoms on?\n[Patient] Uh, I mean I am a, I do work as a housekeeper. Um\n[Doctor] \n[Patient] And to be honest, I'm not always very good about wearing gloves. So that could be related. Um, I switched jobs, uh four months ago. Uh\n[Doctor] OK. OK.\n[Doctor] OK.\n[Patient] I've been working for, as a housekeeper for, for a while now, but um, that's the only thing I can think of.\n[Doctor] Yeah, I think that might be quite important actually. I think there's definitely, maybe a correlation between the two. Um, fine. And so you mentioned something about having general dryness. Is that, you mentioned in your legs as well?\n[Patient] Yeah. Yeah but isn't, sorry.\n[Doctor] Is that, is that something you've, you've had for a while now?\n[Patient] Yeah. It's not really, it's not really major. Uh yeah it's just like literally grinding my legs.\n[Doctor] OK.\n[Patient] \n[Doctor] Right, OK. \n[Patient] trouble.\n[Doctor] OK. I'm just going to ask you some very brief yes or no questions, if that's OK. With your symptoms, have you, have you had any other symptoms, such as fever, or temperatures?\n[Patient] No.\n[Doctor] Any nausea, or any vomiting?\n[Patient] No.\n[Doctor] Any problem with your bowels?\n[Patient] No.\n[Doctor] Any problem with your urine, or waterworks? \n[Patient] No.\n[Doctor] Otherwise you feel well, do you? And yourself, your eating, drinking, your appetite is well-maintained?\n[Patient] Yeah. \n[Doctor] \n[Doctor] OK, alright. Fine. Um, in terms of your past medical history, do you have any other conditions at all?\n[Patient] I have diabetes.\n[Doctor] Do you know if that's type one or type two?\n[Patient] Type two.\n[Doctor] Diabetes, OK. Anything else?\n[Patient] Um no.\n[Doctor] Any skin problems?\n[Patient] No.\n[Doctor] Eczema, dermatitis, for exmaple?\n[Patient] Not that I know of. No, I haven't been diagnosed.\n[Doctor] No, OK. Which medications do you take?\n[Patient] \n[Doctor] Metformin, OK. Do you have any allergies, either to any medications or in general?\n[Patient] No.\n[Doctor] OK. Family history-wise, is there anything I should be aware of?\n[Patient] Diabetes and what?\n[Doctor] Diabetes as well. OK. Again, any skin problems?\n[Patient] Yeah.\n[Patient] Uh no, not that I know of.\n[Doctor] Any history of asthma, or bowel problems?\n[Patient] Uh, no.\n[Doctor] No. OK, alright. Um Fine. In terms of social history, you mentioned that you work as a housekeeper. Um are you, you're not always very good at wearing gloves.\n[Patient] Yeah.\n[Doctor] Um, you've recently changed jobs. Which which kind of places do you work in? Is it mainly residential, or is it commercial?\n[Patient] Yeah.\n[Patient] At a hotel. I have to do the whole thing like bedrooms, bathrooms, .\n[Doctor] Hotel, OK.\n[Doctor] OK. OK. Do you think there might be a relationship between the two? Between the, kind of the products you're using, and your symptoms?\n[Patient] Yeah, I usually use those for bathrooms. But, yeah bedrooms and corridors not always.\n[Doctor] OK. Have your symptoms stopped you from doing any work? Have you had to take time off work recently?\n[Patient] Uh, yeah like the past three days, I haven't been able to go to work.\n[Doctor] OK. Can I ask a couple questions? Do you smoke at all?\n[Patient] No.\n[Doctor] Do you drink much in the way of alcohol?\n[Patient] pints a week.\n[Doctor] Once a week?\n[Patient] Uh, a couple of pints a week.\n[Doctor] a week. OK so, very minimal, alcohol there. Um have you tried anything for your symptoms? Have you tried anything over the counter? Any creams?\n[Patient] Yeah. I tried uh E forty five.\n[Doctor] Any luck with that? \n[Patient] Yeah, no it didn't really do anything.\n[Doctor] No, OK. Alright. Um \n[Patient] I also tried an antihistamine, antihistamine. Uh but it didn't\n[Doctor] . OK, alright.\n[Doctor] Um, Mrs. Parkinson, so I think um, based on your story, I I think you might have something called dermatitis or contact dermatitis. Which is very common in, particularly people in your in your in your field, who are using cleaning products, not using gloves. And sometimes you get a bit of reaction between the chemicals and your skin. Um, so moving forward there's a couple of options. So firstly, what we try and do is, you know, avoid the triggers. In your case, I strongly recommend that you wear gloves when cleaning at all times.\n[Patient] Yeah.\n[Doctor] OK. And in terms of helping your dryness and the cracking of your skin, um we can try some steroid creams to help with the inflammation.\n[Patient] Yeah.\n[Doctor] \n[Patient] \n[Doctor] As well as some stronger emollients, um which you really need to kind of coat on, three four times a day, for the next couple of weeks, just to help with the moisturizing of your skin. \n[Patient] \n[Doctor] Um if it still hasn't got better in about a week, two weeks time, I really need you to come back and see me again. And we can maybe think about other things we can give to you. \n[Patient] OK.\n[Doctor] Is that all clear?\n[Patient] Uh yeah, that sounds good.\n[Doctor] Great. Do you have any questions for me?\n[Patient] Um, where do I get the medicine from?\n[Doctor] I'll I'll I'll do a prescription for you now, and send it over to your pharmacy.\n[Patient] OK great. Yeah, uh so you said a couple of weeks, it should get better, right?\n[Doctor] OK.\n[Doctor] I think I think minimum couple of weeks. Uh ten days to fourteen days. Um and if it still hasn't got better, or indeed if it's getting worse, like if it's spreading, or dryness is getting worse, come back and see me sooner.\n[Doctor] OK. Great. Thank you Laura.

Um, do you have any other illnesses at all?\n[Patient] Um, I've, well I've got kind of, been told I have polyps in my nose in the past and, occasionally get them kind of . Um, that, that's all fine and, you know I take a Rennie's if I need to, and if my nose polyps are playing up I've got a spray. Um.\n[Doctor] \n[Patient] Other than that I think they said, ages ago, I had something called, can't quite remember but, labyrinthitis, something like that, but again, nothing, nothing ongoing.\n[Doctor] Sure. Sure, OK. So, are you on any regular medication? You mentioned the spray for your nose.\n[Patient] Yeah, so, no, uh, I only take the, spray for my nose when I need it for, and um, sometimes take like Rennies, but I just get that from the chemist.\n[Doctor] Sure. and, and the spray for your nose, where do you get that from? Is that from a doctor?\n[Patient] Uh, yeah, they gave me a prescription ages ago.\n[Doctor] Yeah. Do you remember the name of the spray, at all?\n[Patient] Unfortunately I don't, sorry.\n[Doctor] that's alright. That's alright. Uh, and you're not on any other medication at all?\n[Patient] No.\n[Doctor] No, OK. Do you have any , any allergies to any medication?\n[Patient] Uh, no just Latex.\n[Doctor] Latex, OK. Alright, that's good to know. Um, and um, in terms of your family, are there any kind of illnesses within your family at all?\n[Patient] My brother had, Neurofibromatosis, I think it is. Um, other than that everyone else is OK.\n[Doctor] Right, OK.\n[Doctor] OK, good. That's good. Um, and in, in terms of your own kind of background now, are you, are you working at the moment?\n[Patient] Yeah, so I'm a, I'm a jockey, um, but, because of all the kind of, these symptoms I've been getting, especially sometimes when I get a ringing, I can feel a bit dizzy. Ohh, I've just had to do far less training. So, kind of beginning to, yeah, impacting work, um, a little bit now.\n[Doctor] OK. So you have to excuse my ignorance, you mean, jockey like with horses? Is that what you're talking about? Yeah. Alright, OK. Fine. Um, great. Um, uh, and, uh, do you live alone?\n[Patient] Yeah, yeah.\n[Patient] Um, I, uh, live with my partner.\n[Doctor] Uh, OK. Right, um, do you have any pets at all at home?\n[Patient] No, no pets.\n[Doctor] OK, fine. OK so, alright. Um, Is there anything else that you wanted to tell me about what's been going on, recently?\n[Patient] Uh, no, just like, like I said, like the ringing um, occasionally and, when I get that I can sometimes feel a bit dizzy but, the main thing is really the, lack of hearing, and the numbness that's got me like, yeah, no idea what's going on there.\n[Doctor] \n[Doctor] OK, fine. Alright. Um, So, , what I think , go on.\n[Patient] I mean, there was just like, there was one thing I think just, 'cause I can panic and you can look online, get a bit, frantic.\n[Doctor] \n[Patient] , I guess what I'm trying to think is, you know, is there something particularly serious that, you know, will need to be sorted and. Obviously, really, anything can just make you really frantic . Hopefully nothing , so serious I will die from it, I don't know I just, I think got myself in a pickle.\n[Doctor] \n[Doctor] OK. so um, uh, obviously we're limited in terms of assessment via the video, uh, portal.\n[Patient] Mmm.\n[Doctor] um, from what you've told me, this doesn't seem to be you know, anything um, that you're gonna die from. However, I would like you to be assessed in a clinic today.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Doctor] OK? I ,would like you to come to one of my clinics. I would like a GP to assess you. what you're, what you're describing might be something called Bell's Palsy. OK? Um,\n[Patient] OK.\n[Patient] Yeah.\n[Doctor] We can go into that, explaining what that is, if um, if that's confirmed on, on physical examination. But um, that's not usually a life-threatening problem.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Doctor] But, um, part of the reason why I'd like you to come in, it's just that we can do a, a what we call a, a neurological examination just to make sure there's nothing else going on, and confirm that might be the diagnosis. Have a look, have a look inside the ear, see if there's any, , anything to see within the ear.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Patient] \n[Doctor] So, um, um, so, in answer to your question. No, I don't think that you need to worry about that, I , think you know , preliminarily I can, I can reassure you.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Doctor] However, , in order to definitively reassure you, I, I think you need a physical examination today, OK. , so what I wanna do, is I'm gonna send a message to our admin team, I'll ask them, to book you in for a face-to-face appointment in one of our clinics.\n[Patient] Mm-hmm.\n[Patient] Yeah, that's fine.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Doctor] Um, within Central London. OK, and then you can ring the , the support team number, I'll leave that number in your notes. And you can ring them after five minutes, and then they'll slot you in to a place that's convenient for you, OK.\n[Patient] OK. Yeah.\n[Patient] , that's fine.\n[Doctor] All right. So, someone will see you, and hopefully you will be able to reassure further but, please make sure the appointment gets done today.\n[Patient] OK, yep, I will do, that's fine.

Um, you said you felt a bit warm. , have you measured your temperature at all?\n[Patient] Yep.\n[Patient] Um, with the back of my, my hand, yes.\n[Doctor] just with that, OK, fair enough, all right. Um, OK. And now, can I just ask? Um, do you smoke at all?\n[Patient] Uh, no.\n[Doctor] OK. What do you work as?\n[Patient] Um, I work in an office, just a, desk job.\n[Doctor] OK, all right.

When was the last time you had Methotrexate?\n[Patient] Uh, this morning.\n[Doctor] Ohh, you had it this morning. OK, ohh right, all right.\n[Patient] \n[Doctor] OK. Um , um, couple of things I'd like to do in order to try and um, get an idea of how, unwell you are. OK. Um, the first thing I'd like to do, is to try and measure your pulse. So, what, the way we're gonna do this, is that, if you're, if I can get you to try and locate the pulse in your wrist. . Not everyone can do this, so don't worry if you can't. But if you, if you can tell me whether you can feel the regular pulse. It's just under the thumb. If you put two fingers up and down like that, you might be able to feel the pulse.\n[Patient] I've got it.\n[Doctor] You got it, OK. Are you sure?\n[Patient] Yep.\n[Doctor] All right. So what I'm going to do, is I'm going to tell you when to start counting, and when to stop counting OK. So I'll just get my stopwatch up.\n[Doctor] OK. So if you can, um, you've still got the pulse?\n[Patient] Yep.\n[Doctor] OK. So if you can start counting, now please.\n[Patient] One, two, three. Five, six, , eight, , ten, . \n[Doctor] If you can stop now, . That, I think that was about eleven or twelve. Um, so that would make your heart rate about, sixty six to seventy four, that's, that's OK, good. Fantastic. And the next thing I'd like you to try and do, OK. Um, it depends on the lighting, so it may not be possible. But the next thing I'd like you to try and do is just, to get you to squeeze the tip of your finger. And then let me see how quickly the redness come back. OK, so if you can see what I'm doing now. My finger's come, right behind the screen, I'm squeezing it, OK. , just watch me first, it's all right, just watch me first. Yeah, I'm, I'm squeezing it. And then you can see, that, it goes, pale and then it goes back to the normal red colour, OK. So if I can get you just to put your finger up to the, your camera. And then with the other hand, just try and squeeze it, and see.\n[Patient] You look like you've got very good circulation. \n[Doctor] OK, perfect, that's great. Thank you so much. The last thing I'd like to do, is I'd like , to , try and have a look down your throat. OK. Are, are you doing this consultation via, um, a phone or a , laptop?\n[Patient] Phone.\n[Doctor] A phone?\n[Patient] rested it on my laptop, so I think we're good to go.\n[Doctor] , sorry, say that again.\n[Patient] Got it rested the laptop but I can.\n[Doctor] OK, , OK. So if you, if you, um, position your device up above your head, put your head back, mouth open wide, and let me see if I can have a . That's, fantastic. And say ah.\n[Patient] Ah.\n[Doctor] Perfect. Thank you for that. Excellent.\n[Patient] Lovely.\n[Doctor] OK. Last thing, is if I can get you to feel inside your neck. Just on the sides here, OK, um, by your Adam's apple. Tell me whether you can feel any enlarged glands or not.\n[Patient] No, they feel pretty normal to me.\n[Doctor] . OK.\n[Patient] I think.\n[Doctor] All right. Um. Now, um, uh, . Sorry, I've forgotten your name.\n[Patient] Um, Doris.\n[Doctor] Doris, OK Doris. Um, so, so Doris, um, what, what I think we need to do, is um. This sounds like you might have a chest infection. OK. If you're coughing up blood, and you're feeling your heart racing. Um. Uh, I think, you need to be examined today, someone needs to listen to your chest. And, um, maybe check your blood pressure as well, check that, you're stable. I have to say examining you now, from what limited, examination I could do online.\n[Patient] \n[Doctor] You're, everything does seem to be OK, in terms of, you, you don't seem acutely unstable. However, if you've got, this kind of pain, um, when taking a deep breath in and you're coughing up blood. We do, do, we do need to assess you to figure out whether you have a Pneumonia or chest infection. And um, that would involve someone listening to your chest with a stethoscope, and you may need um, an antibiotic. Uh, there's one thing I need to ask you. Have you been, on any long-haul flight recently?\n[Patient] \n[Patient] No, no.\n[Doctor] No, OK. Have you ever had any clots in your legs, or clots in your lung? Blood clots?\n[Patient] Not that I know of, no.\n[Doctor] No, OK. Anyone in the family have that?\n[Patient] No.\n[Doctor] No, OK. All right. Um, what I think we'll do is um, we'll arrange for you to get reviewed in a clinic today. OK. Um, I would like someone to listen to your chest, and check your blood pressure. And to, to recheck your pulse as well. Just make sure, and check your temperature, make sure all those parameters are OK. You may well need an antibiotic, OK. Um, do you have any allergies to any antibiotics?\n[Patient] No.\n[Doctor] No, OK. Um, I, I'm not, I'm gonna, not, I'm not going to prescribe anything for you now, because I think you need to have that, basic assessment first. Um, before we proceed to the next step. But the, that's what I would predict the next step might be. Um, I'm going to leave the number in the notes for this appointment, for you to ring our support team. And then, they will, book you in for a face-to-face appointment with one of our GPs today. And then, they'll do that assessment, and then we'll take it from there, OK.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Patient] But we don't think I'm dying of lung cancer.\n[Doctor] Um, uh, given the, the way in which you uh, have presented now. Just one day, with a fever and, this slight pain, , concurrent with the, the blood in the, the, the flem. That's not usually how lung cancer is presented. It's more insidious, over a longer period of time, with other symptoms. Um, however, we might need to get some investigations to exclude that. It depends on the examination finding, when we see you.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Doctor] All right. , are you worried about lung cancer?\n[Patient] Well you know, you start coughing up blood and you think you're, gonna, die of lung cancer, so.\n[Doctor] . Sure, of course yeah. So, just remind me how old you are again. I'm sorry.\n[Patient] Forty five.\n[Doctor] Forty five, OK. It's something we do need to be cognisant of, OK. Um, and, we may end up having to do a follow-up chest X-ray, if things don't settle down. But at the moment, it, it seems more like a chest infection, rather than a lung cancer.\n[Patient] That's good to know.\n[Doctor] Yeah, that, that is good to know, yeah, so that's, 'cause that's easier to treat. But we still need to make sure that things are OK because, chest infections can become nasty as well. It can lead to infection inside the body, , we want to avoid that as well. So, let's get you checked out today, and hopefully we can put your mind to rest, and get you on the right course of treatment.\n[Patient] Yep.\n[Patient] Perfect.

Thank you, sir. So are you in a private place where you are OK to speak at the moment?\n[Patient] I am indeed, yes.\n[Doctor] OK, so tell me what's been going on.\n[Patient] OK. I, I've really not been feeling so well at all recently. I, I've been struggling with fever for the past week. Yeah, I would say it's about seven days ago. I'm just, I'm really hot and sweaty all the time, and just generally not feeling good.\n[Doctor] OK, alright, sorry to hear that. Now, um, uh, along with this fever and this any other symptoms at all?\n[Patient] Um, I'd say that I'm aching all over really, my muscles are really aching. I'm feeling quite nauseous, uh, so I've not been able to eat very much, and I have been drinking but it's been quite a small amount. Um, and, yeah, just generally quite tired and unwell. I'm sweating during the the the night, I'm quite cold.\n[Doctor] \n[Doctor] OK, all right. Um, and um, so you're having periods of when you're feeling hot, and also periods when you're feeling cold as well.\n[Patient] Yes, yes, quite interchangeable, not really a pattern to it.\n[Doctor] OK, uh, and have you been taking your medication?\n[Patient] Uh, I've been trying to, like, take ibuprofen and paracetamol just to from over the counter, but it's not really helping, just been taking the recommended dose every day of those.\n[Doctor] Sure, and when you say it's not helping, is it bringing the temperature down at all?\n[Patient] Perhaps slightly, yes, but I'm still experiencing these symptoms, so, it does take the edge off a bit.\n[Doctor] OK, alright. And can I just double check have you gotten any cough or cold or sore throat or anything like that?\n[Patient] Mmm, not those sort of symptoms, really. Um\n[Doctor] But which are you getting, other than the ones you've already mentioned to me?\n[Patient] Um, so, I have a habit that it's mainly just the sweating, really, and the and the nausea, uh, that's overtaking all all day and, uh, the aching muscles all over.\n[Doctor] Sure. Have you have you had any ear pain ?\n[Patient] Mmm, no, my ears are fine, actually. I haven't had any problems with my ears.\n[Doctor] OK, um, just, I just need to check for any other causes of infection in the body. So I'm gonna go through some, um, kind of systemic questions. Have you had any diarrhoea?\n[Patient] And not, not really no, not that I can find.\n[Doctor] OK. Have you got any neck stiffness at all?\n[Patient] Um, no. My neck's, my neck's been fine.\n[Doctor] OK.\n[Doctor] Alright. Um, do you have any headache?\n[Patient] Not more than usual, no. Just like the, general headaches but not, just from staring at the screen. No migraines, or anything.\n[Doctor] OK.\n[Doctor] OK, so, you know your normal headache, where is that, in the back of your head or the front of the head?\n[Patient] Uum, it's quite centralized over, over the head.\n[Doctor] OK. and how long have you been having that for?\n[Patient] \n[Patient] It's something that I've struggled with through, years really, just related to a screen use, or, uum, like changes in weather patterns. Yeah, high pressure days, sometimes I struggle with migraines, and headaches.\n[Doctor] \n[Doctor] OK. Um, have you got any rash on your body anywhere at all?\n[Patient] Uh, I haven't noticed any rashes, no.\n[Doctor] Uh, any joints swollen or tender or sore?\n[Patient] Mmm, not really. I mean, I, I often have problems with back pain but not really any other joints.\n[Doctor] OK, alright.\n[Patient] Any problems?\n[Doctor] Alright, and, um, have you got any kind of symptoms down below when you're passing urine?\n[Patient] Uh, no, there's been no problems there.\n[Doctor] OK. Any painful urination at all?\n[Patient] Uh, not at all, no.\n[Doctor] Are you passing urine more often than normal?\n[Patient] Uh, I don't think so, no it's been fairly regular.\n[Doctor] OK. Have you been abroad anywhere recently?\n[Patient] Yes, I have actually.\n[Doctor] Where have you been?\n[Patient] I went to Vietnam. Uh, I came back four weeks ago now.\n[Doctor] OK. Uh, and, um, uh, did you take malaria preventative medication when you went out there?\n[Patient] I did, yes.\n[Doctor] Which one did you take?\n[Patient] Ooo, I can't remember now, off the top of my head.\n[Doctor] Was it a weekly tablet or a daily tablet?\n[Patient] I think it was daily.\n[Doctor] OK, um, and was it one tablet or was it another one that you would take on top of the first one?\n[Patient] I think it was, uh another one that I took on top of the first one.\n[Doctor] OK. And, and what were you doing out in Vietnam? Was it just seeing the cities or going through villages or hiking? What what kind of activities were you doing?\n[Patient] It was quite really, 'cause we were there for a few weeks, and we toured to, uh, several different parts of the country, and uh, the countryside and some cities as well.\n[Doctor] OK. Uh, and um, did you do any kind of, were you in rivers or things like that? Were you, you know, how adventurous were you?\n[Patient] I'm sorry, could you repeat that? I missed that.\n[Doctor] Where you going out into the rivers? Were you going on beaches? I mean how adventurous was your trip?\n[Patient] Yes, it was quite adventurous. We were sort of trekking and, um, cycling, uh, through the farmland and, um, seeing how people lived in a day-to-day life in, in, in farmland.\n[Doctor] Right, OK. Um, thank you for sharing that with me. Now, do you have, um, any other illnesses at all, in the past?\n[Patient] Mmm, as I said I've, I've been struggling with back pain for quite a while, but I haven't really had any, uh, major illnesses in the past, I can think of.\n[Doctor] And that back pain have you, um, have you seen anyone about that?\n[Patient] Yes, yeah, I'm under a physiotherapist at the moment for that.\n[Doctor] Have they, have they give you any kind of diagnosis at all?\n[Patient] Um, they've said that it's, u,h related to long periods of time sitting at a desk, and just, uh, bad posture. So mainly the exercises are focused on improving posture and, and to strengthen the muscles in the back.\n[Doctor] Alright um, are there any illnesses in your family at all?\n[Patient] Hmm, the main one would be, um, heart attack. My, my father passed away of that.\n[Doctor] I'm sorry to hear that. Um, how old was he when that happened?\n[Patient] in his sixties.\n[Patient] Um, sixty eight, I think. Yeah.\n[Doctor] OK. Um, are you on any medication at all?\n[Patient] Uh, just Seroxat.\n[Doctor] OK. Uh, do you have any allergies at all? medication?\n[Patient] No, I've just really pollen allergy. That's all I have.\n[Doctor] OK, so hay fever.\n[Patient] Yes, yeah, just hay fever.\n[Doctor] Alright. Um, are you, um, you're working at the moment?\n[Patient] Uh, I am, yes.\n[Doctor] What do you work at?\n[Patient] I work as a nurse.\n[Doctor] OK, all right. Um, and, um, you're up to date with all the vaccinations, Hepatitis B, and that kind of thing?\n[Patient] Yes, indeed. Yeah.\n[Doctor] OK.\n[Patient] But I'm, I'm really struggling quite a lot at work at the moment. It's been quite difficult, feeling so, uh, tired all the time.\n[Doctor] So, I can .\n[Doctor] Sure, OK. Um, and, are you a, uh, are you a smoker at all?\n[Patient] No, I'm not.\n[Doctor] OK, and ohh do you drink much alcohol?\n[Patient] Mmm, moderate alcohol intake. Yeah, I don't drink too much.\n[Doctor] OK, and how much kind of physical exercise do you do normally?\n[Patient] I try and do, uh, some moderate physical exercise a few times a week.\n[Doctor] OK, that's good, alright, um, so, um What, uh, I think we're gonna need to do is we're gonna need to bring you into one of our clinics. Examine , and we're gonna need to arrange some blood tests as well.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Doctor] OK, um, so, what what I want to do is, the first question I have in my mind is that we need to find a reason for why you've got this fever and these symptoms, because there's no apparent reason from what you've told me.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Doctor] There's no, uh, when someone has got fever and sweats, we want to find out have they got chest infection, have they got a throat infection? Um, and if we can't find a focus of infection, then that's something, that, that's an outstanding question that needs to be answered, OK? Um, the second thing, second factor, is that you've recently come from, uh, Vietnam.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Doctor] And you've had exposure to rural areas. And we need to think about things like malaria or other exotic infections as well. So, um, you're probably gonna need some blood tests. After you've been seen by somebody. Um, now, the urgency of those blood tests depends partly on what we find when we examine you, which is why we're going to go, go for the examination first. You come into one of our clinics in central London, that's one option, and then the the GP there who examines you can then decide on how urgent the blood tests and things are going to be.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Doctor] Or, if it's inconvenient for you to come into central London because you you're living further out, you could actually just attend a local A and E. I'm going to type up what my thought process is and what kind of test I think you need in the notes for this appointment, so you could show that to them at reception. Um, I'll be asking for something called thick and thin blood films, to check for malaria. And inflammatory markers and things like those, technical terms, but they'll understand what that, what I'm talking about. But, um, I, I don't think you can go into work, uh, until we've sorted this out. And we, we, we need to sort this out sooner rather than later.\n[Patient] OK. That sounds great. Thank you so much for your help. I, I think, yeah, I can come straight into central London today to get that sorted.\n[Doctor] OK.\n[Doctor] OK, fine, so what I'm going to do is I will send a message to one of our admin team members asking them to book you in. And if you can ring the number that I leave in your consultation notes, after a few minutes, and then they'll slot you in, and then we can sort things out from there. OK?\n[Patient] That's brilliant. Thank you very much.\n[Doctor] Alright then, OK. Take care then.

Good afternoon.\n[Patient] Hiya.\n[Doctor] Hi there. This is Doctor , from GP at Hand.\n[Patient] Hi there. My name's Atan.\n[Doctor] Hi Anthony. So, could I have your um, before we start, could I have your full name and date of birth? If that's possible?\n[Patient] Sure. So, it's Ayrton Warren. Um, and my date of birth, is the sixteenth of May, nineteen, eighty two.\n[Doctor] That's , thank you for that. Are you in a private place where you're OK to speak?\n[Patient] I am, yes.\n[Doctor] OK, great. So how can I help you today?\n[Patient] Um, so I kind of woke up this morning, um, and I've just got this, really horrible pain on the left side of my head. Um, a real kind of headachy feeling.\n[Doctor] Sure, OK. And, um, uh, , did the, did the pain wake you up?\n[Patient] Yeah, it woke me up, um, quite early this morning.\n[Doctor] What, what time did it wake you up?\n[Patient] Um, probably around, five thirty ish.\n[Doctor] And, what time do you normally get up?\n[Patient] Um, I normally get up at about, seven o'clock.\n[Doctor] Is the headache still present now?\n[Patient] Yes, it is.\n[Doctor] OK. Have you had this kind of pain before?\n[Patient] Um, I mean uh, I've, had a bit of a history with headaches, but nothing as severe as this before.\n[Doctor] So they were less severe. Were they similar in nature in terms of being one-sided and the type of pain?\n[Patient] Um, not so much on the one side, it tends to be, a bit of a cluster at the front of my head in a way. Um, but this time it's just kind of more prominent on the left side which, I've never really had it, normally they kind of spread across the front of my head.\n[Doctor] OK, all right. And, um, can I just double-check, do you have any neck stiffness at all?\n[Patient] Uh, no.\n[Doctor] OK. And do you have any fever?\n[Patient] No.\n[Doctor] All right. Um, how are you with bright lights at the moment? Do you feel sensitive to bright lights or can you, can you tolerate them all right, OK?\n[Patient] Um, it, I'm a little bit sensitive it just, it kind of, makes my eyes a little bit sore, but nothing that I can't really handle.\n[Doctor] OK. And, can I just double-check, um, are you feeling nauseous at all?\n[Patient] Um, not really, like . When I first got up this morning, my head felt a bit dizzy, but that's kind of subsided now, and I, seems to, be fine.\n[Doctor] OK. Um, and um, can I just double-check, does anyone in your family have any migraines or anything like that? They've been diagnosed with migraines?\n[Patient] Uh, no. They haven't.\n[Doctor] OK. Um, and um, are you under any particular stress at the moment?\n[Patient] Um, work's kind of, um, a bit stressful at the moment. I've got a lot going on. Um, yeah, I just seem to have like, a lot of, kind of, a backlog of work that I need to go through at the moment. So, I've kind of, been, doing a lot of late nights as well.\n[Doctor] Right, OK. Um, and, um, how long has that been the case for?\n[Patient] Uh, for probably about a couple of months now.\n[Doctor] , how would you say your mood is?\n[Patient] Um, I'm not, like moody, I'm not angry or, um, like I get a bit frustrated during the day. Um, but , it kind of, um, ebbs and flows every now and then, but, yeah.\n[Doctor] OK. Do you have, have you ever been diagnosed with anxiety, or depression or stress in the past?\n[Patient] Um, I've had, um, so I had, like anxiety for about, two years now, and I've been on, uh, Sertraline for, a while.\n[Doctor] OK. Are you taking Sertraline at the moment?\n[Patient] Yes.\n[Doctor] OK. Um, and how do you feel in terms of , anxiety at the moment? Do you feel anxious at the moment?\n[Patient] , no, not necessarily at work, sometimes I do feel a bit anxious. Um, but I, I kind of just, uh, the panic of not being able to get my work done on time.\n[Doctor] \n[Patient] Um, but other than that, I, I don't, feel, um, massively anxious.\n[Doctor] OK, all right. Um, now, sorry to ask this, just need to ask this for , anyone suffering from anxiety. Do you have any , have you had any thoughts about harming yourself or hurting yourself?\n[Patient] No.\n[Doctor] Good, I'm glad to hear that. Um, now, with regards to this headache. Is it worse when you lie down, or um, is, is, is it better when you lie down?\n[Patient] Um, when I lay down, like, uh, it kind of feels a little bit sore at first, um and it takes me a while to get comfortable. Um, so yeah, at the beginning it does, but then again that's just kind of, um, soothes a little bit.\n[Doctor] OK. Um, so, would you say ultimately, it's better when you lie down? Or have you not ?\n[Patient] Uh, yeah, I would say so.\n[Doctor] OK. Um, and um, in terms of um, this, headache since this morning, have you taken anything for it yet?\n[Patient] Um, I've taken some Paracetamol.\n[Doctor] Has that helped?\n[Patient] Um, not really, no.\n[Doctor] OK. Taking anything else at all?\n[Patient] No that's it, just Paracetamol.\n[Doctor] OK. Um, do you have any other illnesses at all?\n[Patient] Uh, none.\n[Doctor] Have you ever been diagnosed with high blood pressure?\n[Patient] No.\n[Doctor] Have you ever had your blood pressure checked?\n[Patient] No.\n[Doctor] OK. Um, and are there any illnesses in your family?\n[Patient] Um, no, there's nothing. My parents, uh, my mum's had a history of anxiety as well but, no kind of like physical illnesses or anything like that.\n[Doctor] OK, all right. And um, are you on any medication?\n[Patient] Um, no, other, other than Sertraline and having taken, um, Paracetamol this morning, uh, nothing else.\n[Doctor] Do you have any allergies to any medication?\n[Patient] Not that I'm aware of, no.\n[Doctor] All right. And, are you living by yourself at the moment, or living with someone else?\n[Patient] Um, I live with my partner.\n[Doctor] OK. Are you a smoker?\n[Patient] No.\n[Doctor] OK. And, uh, do you have any pets at home?\n[Patient] Uh, I have a cat.\n[Doctor] OK. And, can I just double-check, how much exercise would you do normally a week?\n[Patient] Um, so normally I, try to go running at least three times a week.\n[Doctor] OK. And what's your diet like?\n[Patient] Um, it's OK, um, it's nothing, it's nothing um, really healthy, um, but it's fine.\n[Doctor] OK.\n[Patient] I wouldn't say unhealthy.\n[Doctor] All right. Um, now um, in terms of this headache, uh, obviously I haven't been able to examine you, or see you directly. But, um, it sounds like it might be one of two things. It could be an element of what we call tension headache.\n[Patient] Sure.\n[Doctor] OK. That's one possibility. Um, and what makes that, more likely is the fact that, you've been under some pressure, and you have a history of anxiety in the past, OK. Um.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Doctor] The other possibility is, um, migraine as well. OK. Um, and, the fact, what makes that more likely is the fact that it's on one side, and that you've got some sensitivity to light.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Doctor] OK, So, what, what I think we can do, is um, I think we can give you some, um, generic, pain relief.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Doctor] That would be the appropriate first step, for, migraine type headaches. OK. So I'll tell you what it is in a second.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Doctor] And the other thing that I was gonna suggest is, we maybe look, explore things to try and decrease the stress from work. So, um, the medication-wise, the things that we'd start off first line, if someone had migraine was to, would be to start Ibuprofen.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Doctor] And um, uh, that, the doses of Ibuprofen can be a bit, more than the normal doses Ibuprofen so that's one thing we can start. You can keep on taking Paracetamol as well if you like, but the, the Ibuprofen's um, actually more effective , for migraine.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Doctor] And, um, yeah, so the, the guidelines have changed, recently we used, we, before that we used to give Paracetamol as first line but now it's, um, Ibuprofen or Aspirin.\n[Patient] Ohh right, O.\n[Doctor] That's, thing. Um, the other thing I'd like you to do, is maybe consider taking some time off work. OK, because if the headache is due to stress from work.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Doctor] Um, maybe having a week off if you self-certify, that might help with things. And I'd also like you to explore, counselling options as well so there's, a counselling service in your area, that I can give you the link for, for you to self-refer.\n[Patient] \n[Doctor] I'd like you to, , OK I'd like you to try that. Um, what, we're gonna do is, we'll have a follow-up in a week's time.\n[Patient] Yeah, that'd be.\n[Doctor] As well as those two things, other things I'd like you to do, is to try and ensure that you're having a minimum of seven, eight hours sleep at night, every night. And you're drinking a minimum of, um, one point five to two litres uh, of water or fluids a day, and that's not including coffee or tea.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Doctor] All right, because sometimes dehydration and you know uh, fatigue can be causes of headaches as well. Um.\n[Patient] Ohh OK, I didn't realise that.\n[Doctor] Yeah, so it, that, that, that is um, you know, we need to rule those things out. Um, let's, let's try that. OK. Um, and let's have a follow-up appointment, if we're finding that things are not getting better, we might need to arrange some blood tests or um, look at uh, other possibilities, but, we'll try that in the first instance. Um, if anything changes in the meantime, or you get worried or things get worse. Feel free, have a lower threshold for ringing us back and we can book you an appointment, and we can reassess the situation.\n[Patient] OK. Yeah, the, that, that sounds brilliant. Thank you so much for your help.\n[Doctor] OK, no problem. So there'll be a summary of all of this in the notes. Um, and I'll also leave a link, to some of the danger signs of symptoms of headaches, in the notes. If you can read through that in your own time, that will just help you to have a bit more, control over what's going on and understanding of what, what, what kind of things, should trigger you contacting another doctor.\n[Patient] OK. That's perfect. Thank you so much for your help.\n[Doctor] No problem, OK. So we'll, we'll touch base in a week's time, with me or, myself or one of the other doctors, and we , we'll take it from there, OK.\n[Patient] OK. Thank you. Yeah, I'll book an appointment, in, um, yeah, in that time.\n[Doctor] Brilliant, OK then, all right. Take care then, all the best.\n[Patient] Bye.

And, um, I also, like have, uh, lisinopril .\n[Doctor] Lisonopril, OK.\n[Patient] Yeah, but the like slight blood pressure.\n[Doctor] Yeah, OK. And, how long have you been a diabetic for?\n[Patient] Um, like a, a few years, maybe five or six years.\n[Doctor] Five six years, OK. OK. Do you monitor your blood sugars at home?\n[Patient] Yes.\n[Doctor] OK. And how have they been doing at the moment?\n[Patient] Uh, no issues nothing like out of the ordinary there.\n[Doctor] OK. So there's no problems with your blood pressure control at the moment, even though you're not, OK so that's fine. That's absolutely fine. And when was the last time you took your blood pressure?\n[Patient] Uh, I've been this morning.\n[Doctor] This morning. And what was it? What was the readings like?\n[Patient] I can't remember off the top of my head, but it was within the normal range.\n[Doctor] Cool, 'cause there's nothing alarming yeah? No more. OK. That's fine. OK. So that seems all right. OK. So, um, can I, hypothetically, look into your mouth here?\n[Patient] Sure.\n[Doctor] Yeah? Yeah, so, uh, looking into your mouth\n[Patient] \n[Doctor] Um, you know, there's just a bit mild redness at the back of your throat. Um, there's no enlarged tonsils. Can you feel any glands around your neck, at all? No. No.\n[Patient] No, I haven't had anything like that.\n[Doctor] OK. So, it looks like, it's just a viral infection. Um, because it's just a cold and a cough. There's nothing there. And generally if you have things like a chest infection, you would have a bit like a wheeze or shortness of breath. So, um, things that we would recommend is you can use the, you know, Night Nurse, Day Nurse. It's still OK with your medications, yeah. So I'm, I'm sure that you are a bit wary to use them. But it's still OK with your current medication. You can still use that. Might be able to make you feel a bit more better quickly.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Doctor] If there's any change, like you're feeling short of breath or be your symptoms are lasting more than three weeks or something Or you're becoming poorly, uh, things like that, then you need to get in touch with us, then probably we might need to examine you and especially your chest. But I don't think so, that's necessary at this point in time\n[Patient] OK, that sounds good.\n[Doctor] OK. Any questions at all ?\n[Patient] Uh, no, I I think that's been very helpful thank you.\n[Doctor] OK. So just to round up, just use the night, Night Nurse, Day Nurse, if any change in your symptoms, like shortness of breath, wheezy, or symptoms are lasting more than three weeks, then get in touch with us.\n[Patient] OK, so I don't need any prescription, or anything like that.\n[Doctor] No, no you don't need anything at the moment. OK. Take care, then. Bye. Bye bye.\n[Patient] OK. Thank you very much, bye!", "note": "HISTORY OF PRESENTING COMPLAINT:\nPresenting complaint: I have a cough and a cold.

Hello.\n[Patient] Nice to meet you.\n[Doctor] Nice to meet you too.

I'm sorry to hear about it. So if you tell me a bit more about it, please.\n[Patient] Uh, it's been happening for about, three days now? Um, yeah it, started off uh, was, I don't know it's just something that I thought would go away pretty quickly.\n[Doctor] OK.\n[Doctor] \n[Patient] I've had that from time to time after eating certain types of food or going on certain travels, but, uh nothing funky in my diet and no travels recently, um and it just kinda kept up. I'm a bit confused as to what to do .\n[Doctor] Mmm.\n[Doctor] Mm-hmm.\n[Doctor] So you haven't had anything from outside? Nothing dodgy anything ? No.\n[Patient] No, no no no, just a little bit, yeah I I don't know I mean it's pretty standard diarrhoea, where it's was like a little bit of abdominal pain. I threw up once, that was a little worrying, uh.\n[Doctor] \n[Doctor] Mm-hmm.\n[Doctor] Repeat that please, that wasn't clear. What did you say?\n[Patient] I threw up once, yeah.\n[Doctor] After that we'd said something.\n[Patient] Uh, nothing else was worrisome.\n[Doctor] OK, right, and with the diarrhea, how many times a day are you going to the toilet?\n[Patient] Uh, four to five.\n[Doctor] Four to five times, yeah. And is there any? And it's like water? Is it like water or is it just loose?\n[Patient] Uh, what do you mean?\n[Doctor] Are you going like water? Or is it just, you know bit, bit of solid stools, bit loose kind of thing?\n[Patient] It probably depends on the time of day to be honest, .\n[Doctor] Sure OK. Bit of both and is there any blood or mucus?\n[Patient] No blood. What do you mean mucus?\n[Doctor] It's like the snotty stuff.\n[Patient] In the stool?\n[Doctor] Yeah, it looks like snot .\n[Patient] No.\n[Doctor] No, so no mucus, OK. Any fever at all?\n[Patient] Uh, maybe a little bit, but.\n[Doctor] Mm-hmm.\n[Patient] It hasn't been, that in particular hasn't been too worrying.\n[Doctor] Are you still able to eat, and drink?\n[Patient] Uh, a little bit of. Appetite loss I guess worse than normal, but also not something I've, like I, if that was alone I wouldn't have, reached out.\n[Doctor] OK.\n[Doctor] Sure. So but you're you're still able to drink quite a bit yeah? You're drinking plenty.\n[Patient] Yeah yeah yeah.\n[Doctor] OK. Excellent.\n[Patient] Mostly it's been dry and red.\n[Doctor] OK, and, um, what have you take, have you taken anything so far for the diarrhea?\n[Patient] Nothing yet.\n[Doctor] Nothing yet, OK. Anything for the abdominal pain?\n[Patient] Uh, nothing yet.\n[Doctor] OK. Right, and any unfortunately we don't have any of your past medical history, is there anything you'd like to say?\n[Patient] Uh, I.\n[Patient] Probably I I had asthma.\n[Doctor] Mm-hmm.\n[Patient] Um or, or I don't know I guess I still have it.\n[Doctor] OK and uh, are you, any, uh, anything else other than asthma?\n[Patient] Uh, my dad had hypertension.\n[Doctor] OK.\n[Patient] Has hypertension. Had hypertension. Yeah he died of bowel cancer ten years ago.\n[Doctor] Yeah .\n[Doctor] Ohh dear, OK. Bowel cancer. Ten years ago. And how old was he when he died?\n[Patient] Uh, sixty-two.\n[Doctor] K, and um, you mentioned you had asthma, are you using any inhalers at all?\n[Patient] Yes.\n[Doctor] Which ones?\n[Patient] Lexapro.\n[Doctor] Sorry?\n[Patient] Lexapro.\n[Doctor] Laxepro.\n[Patient] Yes.\n[Doctor] OK, not heard of it may. Is it like Salbutamol? Is it like a blue colour?\n[Patient] Yellow.\n[Doctor] Yellow, OK. I'll have to check that one, not sure. Laxepro.\n[Doctor] OK. Um, that's fine. Any other medication that you're using? Over the counter, anything at all? OK. Right. Any allergies?\n[Patient] No.\n[Patient] Nothing, yeah, nothing.\n[Doctor] No allergies at all, righty . Fine so, obviously, you know you just have diarrhea it's about four to five times a day. Um, you're still drinking plenty and you look like you're not dehydrated which is a good sign, OK? Um, when we start worrying about diarrhea is if you're going more than eight times a day. That means probably you are, you know, whatever you're eating is going straight through, OK? You still need to drink plenty of water because you're losing a lot of fluids.\n[Patient] Mmm.\n[Doctor] OK, when you go to the toilet. Um, things that one would advise is a soft diet. So avoid dairy, fish, meat, eggs, while you're having the diarrhea. Go, sorry?\n[Patient] Soft . What is a soft diet? What does that ? Like, outside of, not those things, what do you mean by soft?\n[Doctor] OK, so that will be like crackers, toast, jam, those kind of things that's easily digested. Like what we are good give babies yeah. When they start eating you give, simple food for babies. You don't give eggs or meat the first time they start feeding. So that's the kind of soft diet we're talking about, yeah? Once you are able to, you know keep most of it in, you can start off with some just boiled vegetables and mash. Once you're OK with that for about forty-eight hours then you can start having meat. So just don't have meat once you feel like you're slightly better, because you might go back to square one again, all right?\n[Patient] \n[Patient] What do you mean OK with that diet, like once?\n[Doctor] Forty-eight hours you're not having any diarrhea, you're fine then you can go and start having meat, egg, fish and all. So that .\n[Patient] OK, if if the diarrhoea is getting better but isn't getting, or do you want it to go away completely at that point, or if it's like trending upwards?\n[Doctor] No, no, no preferably just don't because, what why do we say this? It's because it takes much more time for meat to get digested. So because your gut flora, you know, the, the, the bacteria in your gut is not you know as it should be, it takes a bit more effort for one to digest these food. While it doesn't take that much of an effort to, you know digest mash and vegetables. Does that make sense?\n[Patient] Yes.\n[Doctor] Yeah? So, um, at the same time you could have some, although you can't milk is not a good idea, yoghurts are a good idea because they are probiotics, it help to build up the normal, um gut, gut bacteria back. OK.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Doctor] So those kinda, now, things to look out for, if your diarrhoea doesn't go away in a week's time, or if you're passing blood, we need a stool sample, because that means you you may have , um, some particular bugs that might need treatment with antibiotics.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Doctor] OK. If you're again, as I've mentioned previously if you're going about six to eight times a day, that means there's a high chance that, uh, you are, having dehydration and you might need to go into hospital at that point in time. If that happens you get in touch with us again, all right?\n[Patient] OK.\n[Doctor] Any questions? You look a bit confused.\n[Patient] No, that's it.\n[Doctor] Yeah? OK and also you could get something called Dioralyte over the counter. So, it helps to uh, replenish your, the salts that you've been, that's lost through going to the toilet.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Doctor] OK? If you're a bit confused you know you can actually, uh, all this is all recorded in your app. So you can go back. I'll put that all in detail so if, you know I know sometimes it's a bit difficult to process everything, you can go back and read, read the notes.\n[Patient] Perfect, that's great.\n[Doctor] Is that OK? All right then, you take care.\n[Patient] Bye.\n[Doctor] Bye now, bye bye.", "note": "HISTORY OF PRESENTING COMPLAINT:\nPresenting complaint: I have really bad diarrhea.

If you're, if you feel like your symptoms get worse at any point, or they're not resolving with the treatment. Or you keep getting a similar, um, you keep getting a similar, problem, reccurently.

Uh, my name is Valerie Cole. My date of birth is the nineteenth of September, nineteen ninety three.\n[Doctor] My name's .\n[Patient] My address is, uh, sixty four, Cliveden Place, in, South Wimbledon.\n[Doctor] OK. Are you in a private place where you can have a confidential consultation today?\n[Patient] Yes I am, yeah.\n[Doctor] What can I do for you?\n[Patient] Um, I've been feeling really anxious over the past few months. Um, I just get really nervous every morning about leaving the house, and it's started to really worry me, and just add up, and build up on that anxiety. And I just didn't know, who to talk to or, so I wanted to check with my GP.\n[Doctor] OK. Do you mind just telling me a bit more about, when it started? Do you think there's something which changed in your life at that time?\n[Patient] Um, I guess so, I think um, I would say maybe about two months or so, I've been feeling like this, and that probably coincides with, me starting a new job, um. Which I , I would say it's quite , I mean every job is stressful, and when you first start, but it's been really stressful I think over the past two months, definitely.\n[Doctor] What's your job?\n[Patient] Um, so I work for a, a, a fashion retailer, in um, the head office team, and it's just a brand new sector. I've never worked in retail before, my boss is not very nice to me and I don't. But I also think that, it's just been, I just really dread, going there. I just hate, speaking to her, I hate like seeing everyone and, really worried about whether I'm doing well or not. And it's really impacting on like, on the rest of my life, like my sleep and stuff like that.\n[Doctor] OK. So, um, just day-to-day, tell me, from the start of your day, how it affects you. You said that you, you dread going to work. How, how does it affect you, in terms of like your sleep at night, and things like that?\n[Patient] Right.\n[Patient] Yeah, this is really so, I, I, I've, as I say like, I don't want to go to work in the morning, so I just find no way of, I can't get out of bed. But it's also because, when I leave I just, when I've left work, I just feel so stressed and so worried about everything I've done, I can't get to sleep for hours and hours and hours. So I.\n[Doctor] OK. So what time, what time do you go to bed at night-time?\n[Patient] About ten, eleven, probably.\n[Doctor] And what time do you get to sleep?\n[Patient] Not for ages, I'm, I'm lying awake all night\n[Doctor] OK. And, when you eventually get to sleep, do you wake up with your alarm in the morning, or does something else wake you up, before then?\n[Patient] Mmm.\n[Patient] So I find my, my heart kind of racing, and then I'm just like panicking that I'm gonna be late, and that that's gonna make work even more stressful. So I do have an alarm, but I find myself waking up before that, 'cause I'm just my heart is racing. And actually the other day, I was just like, I was lying in bed and I really thought my heart was racing so much, I thought I was gonna have a heart attack in the morning.\n[Doctor] OK. And, so how many hours sleep do you think you get a night?\n[Patient] , I just, I can't even tell because I feel like I'm, even when I'm in sleep it's such a shallow sleep, but maybe, three, four hours, I'm getting now.\n[Doctor] OK. And, what about your eating patterns, any change in how you're eating, or whether you, your appetite's changed?\n[Patient] Probably, not, significant changes maybe. No I wouldn't say that, I wouldn't say that I'm eating like, much differently. Ohh that, I probably have more chocolate than normal, just because I feel, so down.\n[Doctor] OK. You're eating regularly otherwise?\n[Patient] Yeah, .\n[Doctor] OK. And, you told me about the palpitations, just tell me a bit more about that.\n[Patient] Yeah, So um, it's, it's usually kind of like, when I realise in the morning that, either um, I feel like I'm gonna be late, because I've like overslept 'cause I'm so tired. Um, or I wake up in a panic thinking I am gonna be late so, it's just kind of like, just a constant like, rapid heart beating. It's just really, really stressful. I don't know if it's, stress or if, , or I did think it was like, a heart problem really actually.\n[Doctor] \n[Doctor] Does it feel like a regular fast beat, or an irregular, beat?\n[Patient] Irregular, I think.\n[Doctor] And how long do you think it lasts for when you get it?\n[Patient] Ohh it can be anything, I think couple of minutes, or the other day I was actually just, sort of lying there for like, holding my hand on my chest for like ten minutes.\n[Doctor] OK. Is that something that you've had before this, or is that a new thing?\n[Patient] Yeah, but I would say this is only in the past. Sort of like, couple of months as I say that I've been, experiencing this.\n[Doctor] OK. Any chest pain with that?\n[Patient] No, um, well yeah it's painful to , when the heart, when my heart is beating fast but, but, yeah.\n[Doctor] OK.\n[Doctor] And, in the daytime, how, how, you said you, you're not getting much sleep so, how's your energy level in the daytime?\n[Patient] It's just, really, really low, I mean I, I'm finding now that I'm just, I find no enjoyment at all. It's kind of day-to-day, and anything that I'm doing. It's not just my job it's, you know when I leave I'm just so tired that, anything that, previously was, really fun is just not, it's not enjoyable. And I'm like, yeah, on edge the whole time.\n[Doctor] OK. So what do you do in the evenings?\n[Patient] Well right now I'm, I'm working so late, and everything is really, really stressful. So I don't really get much time to myself but, when I do wanna go out, or, you know, see friends or just relax. It, it seems quite difficult to do that.\n[Doctor] OK, and , are you avoiding contact with friends, or do you still see them?\n[Patient] I avoid them insomuch that I, feel like I'm. Yeah, so I mean sometimes it just, I know that I'm not gonna have fun, because I don't want to, go out and, do things that I would normally have done.\n[Doctor] OK. What about, hobbies, or exercise, or anything else outside work? Do you do anything else outside work?\n[Patient] Yeah, as I say like everything that I had previously been doing has been, just difficult to continue with like, I did used to like to like go running, and. And to play tennis and stuff, but now it's just not, I'm just not enjoying it, I'm not, I'm not like, I'm not going out to do that quite so much.\n[Doctor] And have you, has it ever got so bad that you've actually had to miss work?\n[Patient] No, 'cause I think that would just add to the tension, but I do like pretty much every morning I think, ohh I should call in sick or like, just not go.\n[Doctor] OK.\n[Doctor] And, what's the worst that it's got? Have you ever, been, um, so overwhelmed that you couldn't, get in to the office, you couldn't, go into a situation? Have you ever had a panic attack?\n[Patient] , um.\n[Patient] No I wouldn't say so, I think, I've always managed to make it to work. But I, I wonder if it's building up. So this is why I wanted to call, I'm just worried it's building up to that, and I don't know what to do 'cause I have, feel it, felt it, get worse and worse over the past couple of months.\n[Doctor] OK. And apart from work, are there any other situations which evoke quite extreme anxiety, like being, in public places, social situations, public transport, anything like that?\n[Patient] Yeah I mean, I find public transport really stressful anyway, especially being on the tube it's, 'cause it's quite, getting warmer so it's just really airless. Um, but I think the majority of it, 'cause my life is just so focused around work right now, the majority of it is focused around work as well.\n[Doctor] OK. Before this did you have any similar times in your life when you felt like this?\n[Patient] Not really I, I'm, no, I would say. I mean everybody always has a bit of tension, a bit of anxiety but, I've never felt, anything this bad before.\n[Doctor] OK. And what about your mood day-to-day? I mean, I can see that you're quite distressed by like that. Do you ever get really down about this?\n[Patient] Yeah.\n[Patient] Um, I mean, yeah, yeah, 'cause I do, yeah. I'm pretty much, down like, I don't enjoy, being and not just my day at all 'cause. I'm just so worried about everything, um, and I find that even when I'm not, like even at the weekends and stuff it's just the, kind of like constant, feeling of just being a bit, down, a bit unhappy.\n[Doctor] When do you think you last felt yourself?\n[Patient] Um.\n[Patient] I don't know, that's a good question, I can't really, I can't really put a on that at all.\n[Doctor] . And has your mood ever been so low that you've felt like you just couldn't carry on with your job, or with your life, or with your normal, uh, things as they we're going on?\n[Patient] I wouldn't, no I wouldn't say that I've had, I haven't had any suicidal thoughts or any, thoughts that have been that extreme like, I haven't. You know I have, I have a good support system, like I do have good family and stuff. So I, I have, I don't have, uh worries about, actually wanting to, um, not go on. It's just that, I don't wanna go on like this.\n[Doctor] Yeah. OK. And where do you, who do you live with at home?\n[Patient] Sorry?\n[Doctor] Who do you live with at home?\n[Patient] Yeah, I live with my parents, just my parents.\n[Doctor] Um, and, how much alcohol do you have in an average week do you think?\n[Patient] Um, ooh I don't know, probably quite a lot on the Friday or Saturday, just because, that, that's kind of normal, um. Uh, maybe I, maybe I do have like a bit during the week. Like, my parents obviously are retired, so they just drink whenever they want, so, whenever they're having a glass of wine, they'll offer it to me and it's like. I guess I don't really keep track of it that much.\n[Doctor] OK. So, how much would you, would you guess?\n[Patient] Probably like, probably quite a lot on a Friday or Saturday, because it's usually going out, so maybe like. I probably go over my limit just on those days, anyway, and then like, maybe a glass of wine during the week .\n[Doctor] OK. Do you smoke or take any other drugs, or anything?\n[Patient] Um, I try not to smoke, but I do, occasionally, but I don't take drugs.\n[Doctor] OK. And have you done , anything yourself to help? Have you , have you talked to anyone, talked to any counsellors? Done any, online, looked online at all? Any ways to ?\n[Patient] I, well I talk to my mum, because she also suffers from, well she's , suffered from like depression in the past. I didn't think that it was, that I was suffering from, actual depression because it just seems to be, manifesting as, as total , as just stress the whole time.\n[Doctor] OK.\n[Patient] But um, I did talk to my mum about it but I haven't sought any, she recommended that I come to the GP, um, but I haven't sought any other.\n[Doctor] OK.\n[Doctor] And would you be happy to, have, some one-to-one therapy?\n[Patient] \n[Patient] Yeah I think, yeah I think so. I've never done that before, but yeah.\n[Doctor] OK. I mean what we would suggest in the first instance is to, to. So you can self-refer via the NHS, for what we call like, talking therapy which is a type of inter-behavioural, where they can really look at your situation. How you're reacting to, the, , why, what's provoking anxiety, and what you can do, to try and overcome that.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Patient] Yeah.\n[Doctor] Um, so I can send you the link for that. Um, in the meantimes it can be a bit of a wait. There are some online resources that are really helpful. Um, can put the details, on there and you can, get on with them straight away and try and work through them as well.\n[Patient] Uh-huh.\n[Doctor] Um, and if you're feeling like it's not helping at all, or your anxiety is getting worse, to the point where you can't cope with work, or you can't, just do your normal things day-to-day. Then, it's important for us to, for you to give us a call, back and just discuss that, further.\n[Patient] OK. .\n[Doctor] I mean some people, with anxiety they, do need to take medication to control that but that's, not something that we'd suggest in the first instance.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Doctor] And I'll put some more information on your notes about, helping with your, sleep patterns and things like that.\n[Patient] That's great, I look forward to reading it.\n[Doctor] Um, in terms of palpitations, it is most likely to be a, , associated with anxiety, but it's probably worth having couple of basic blood tests just to make sure that, there's not something triggering that off. And then arranging a GP follow-up a week after you've had the tests, so we can just go through the results with you.\n[Patient] \n[Patient] OK, OK. Yeah, .\n[Doctor] So if you call the support line you can arrange the, to have the blood test done.\n[Patient] OK, I'll call them up.\n[Doctor] OK?\n[Patient] Thank you so much.\n[Doctor] All right.

I'm working from home today because I can't, I can't be out for work. \n[Doctor] OK. And who do you live with at home?\n[Patient] I live with my brother and my mum.\n[Doctor] OK. OK. And, um, have you tried anything yourself for this problem?\n[Patient] Well, I've tried a home remedy. Um, I've tried the, the, uh, ORS, you know, thing I bought from my, my local, my local, uh. Um.\n[Doctor] What? Could you just repeat that?\n[Patient] The ORS, the, the salt sugar ORS, um, um, mix, the salt sugar mix.\n[Doctor] OK. And how often have you been taking that?\n[Patient] Yeah.\n[Patient] I've taken that, I've taken that, like, um, three times a day for the past two days.\n[Doctor] OK. Um, and do you feel like your symptoms are easing off, or getting worse, or ?\n[Patient] I, I, I they're not getting any better, 'cause like I said, I've been, I've been vomiting literally everything I take, so, so I doubt that even that had, had the chance to work.\n[Doctor] Yeah.\n[Doctor] OK. Um. I mean, it sounds like, because your brother's had a similar thing, it sounds like it might be some, an infectious gastroenteritis that you've got, which is usually caused by a virus. But, it can be from something you've eaten, as well. Um. If the symptoms, they do normally start to settle by themselves with the oral rehydration salts. Um, if the symptoms are continuing to get worse, the key thing is that we want to make sure that you're hydrated enough. Um, sometimes you do require certain medication to help this, if it's, sometimes if it's caused by a bacteria. Um, what I would say, probably worth as it's been going on for a few days and you feel like it's not starting to ease off. I think it's probably important to get a sample of the stool, so we can make sure that you haven't got a nasty bacterial infection which needs specific treatment.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Doctor] Um, and we should also check that you're not getting dehydrated, because if you're, if you're not keeping fluid down, then you can get dehydrated. Um, so.\n[Patient] So, how, how do I, how do I get myself hydrated when I'm not able to even, like, drink water? I'm throwing up everything.\n[Doctor] Yeah. So you need to carry on with your rehydration salts, and just have very small amounts. It's a positive sign that you passed urine an hour ago. So, you're obviously still, um, hydrated enough to pass urine.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Doctor] But we, um, we should see you so that we can check your hydration and, um, get that sample sent off as soon as possible. 'cause if, if, if you come into the clinic, you can send that sample off straightaway. Otherwise, we would have to post it out to you which would take time.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Patient] Ohh, OK. So, when can I come to the clinic to have this done?\n[Doctor] Um, so we can, we can make you an urgent appointment, um, and then you can, you can get the sample sent off and we can check your hydration. Um, but if, in the meantime, you're feeling more unwell, then we would get you seen urgently in A and E.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Doctor] So you can call us back in the meantime.\n[Patient] OK. So, what I'll do is, yeah. If you could, please book me the appointment and, um, yeah, I'll see how I feel, um, for the end of the day. Hopefully I don't need to go to the A and E, and, um .\n[Doctor] Yeah. If you keep drinking, keep going with the rehydration salts. Just tiny sips constantly, to so that your stomach doesn't get overfilled and, and you vomit, so just tiny, tiny sips but just keep going with it. Um, and just have very simple food, if you're gonna have anything, like toast or biscuit or something really light like that. Avoid, um, fruit, vegetables, uh, milk, anything like that, which might just make it worse.\n[Patient] Mm-hmm.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Doctor] OK. So you'll have to book an appointment through the support line.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Patient] Yes, please.\n[Doctor] Right, OK.

And, I, it faded over a couple of weeks, I guess.\n[Doctor] Did you have any fevers at that time?\n[Patient] Um, I, to be honest that actually turns out it was a bit of a sore throat I had, um, so possibly a little bit feverish, but I, I sort of put it down to that.\n[Doctor] Do you know where you got that, when it started? Had you been walking, did you get any bites that you noticed?\n[Patient] Uh, I like, I do quite a lot of walking, and we did, um, quite a lot while we were out in the, on holiday as well, but definitely, um. Yeah, I mean, I don't, I don't recall any bugs, I don't remember seeing anything bitten but you often, like, yeah, as you're walking through, I was in shorts and, and boots but /\n[Doctor] OK.\n[Doctor] Whereabouts were you in the States?\n[Patient] Um, just sort of, um, he examined me, so.\n[Doctor] OK, and any headaches, blurred vision, tingling, numbness?\n[Patient] Um, no. But it's the sort of headache maybe in just generally feeling a bit crappy. \n[Doctor] And have you been able to go to work as usual?\n[Patient] Um, I've been going to work. I don't know how effective it's been. But, yeah, been, been.\n[Doctor] And what's your job?\n[Patient] Um, I work for a health technology company actually.\n[Doctor] OK, and has your concentration been affected, or your tiredness levels in the daytime at work?\n[Patient] Yeah, definitely sort of tired and, um, yeah, less energy, sort of probably than I, I would normally be.\n[Doctor] \n[Doctor] Have you been able to exercise OK?\n[Patient] Um.\n[Patient] Not as much. I, I don't know if it's, I haven't been able to or I've just been a bit lazy with it. I I'm not exercising as I would normally.\n[Doctor] OK, fine, and, um, how's your mental health, your stress levels, all that?\n[Patient] Hey. Pretty good at the moment, actually. Like, it previously that has been an issue, but, um. Other than, sort of, physically feeling a bit. Uh, crappy, I've. Yeah, in a pretty good place.\n[Doctor] OK. Apart from that rash, any other rashes on your skin, or swelling of your joints, or pain in your joints?\n[Patient] Uh, yeah, sort of aching shoulders, back, the hips, knees, but sort of, yeah. Not ,\n[Doctor] Any swelling that you've noticed?\n[Patient] No, .\n[Doctor] Your hands, wrists, ankles, toes.\n[Patient] Uh, no.\n[Doctor] OK, um, and any other significant medical problems in the past?\n[Patient] Uh, I mean. \n[Doctor] Pardon?\n[Patient] Asthma and hay fever if they can help.\n[Doctor] OK. Any flare-ups of your asthma recently?\n[Patient] Uh, no, pretty well , I think.\n[Doctor] Do you take your regular inhalers or other medication?\n[Patient] Uh, yeah. I've got one of those, um, preventative, I think. Yeah , but I've not used one.\n[Doctor] You haven't been using it, you said?\n[Patient] I, I have it. I've been using the everyday for the morning and night but not the, uh, .\n[Doctor] OK. And any, erm, do you take any other medications?\n[Patient] Um, I take, um, one of the antihistamines it might be can I get that from, just from the pharmacy.\n[Doctor] Yeah, that's fine. Um, and do you smoke?\n[Patient] uh, .\n[Doctor] Drink any alcohol?\n[Doctor] No.\n[Patient] Sorry, occasionally, that was.\n[Doctor] OK, and who do you live with at home?\n[Patient] Uh, just my wife.\n[Doctor] Um.\n[Doctor] Sorry, um, so with this rash, we would need to investigate whether this has been a contributing factor to your symptoms. And just because of your symptoms, which have been ongoing for six weeks, that's obviously quite a long time to notice a change in your energy levels. Um, I think it's important to get some blood tests, checking all the normal things, like liver, kidneys, blood count, etc. But also, some more specific things like, um, a bacterial infection you can sometimes get, uh, including one which you can get which can produce a rash like that. So, that would involve blood tests. Are you happy to do that?\n[Patient] \n[Patient] Uh, yeah, I but, uh, what, what's the infection?\n[Doctor] Well, you can get, uh, you can get a bacterial infection caused which is called, um, it's called lyme disease that you can get a rash like that from a tick bite. So that's something we would do a test for, as well. Um, and if that comes back positive, then there are specific antibiotics that we would give you to treat it.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Doctor] So it's definitely worth checking for, but we would also check just for which can cause reduced energy, tiredness and aching for, persistent over six weeks.\n[Patient] OK.\n[Doctor] So if you're happy to do that, if you book that through the support line, and then when you've had the test arrange a follow up about a week after, after you've had the test done.\n[Patient] OK, so, do the test first and then, and that follow up we can just do over the phone again? Or, yeah.\n[Doctor] Um, yeah, we can do that over the phone to start with.\n[Patient] All right. Excellent.\n[Doctor] OK?\n[Patient] That, that's really helpful, thank you very much.\n[Doctor] \n[Patient] Oops, sorry, you broke up a bit there.\n[Doctor] Any other questions?\n[Patient] Ohh, no, not , no.\n[Doctor] OK, that's great.

Doctor X and I will be going over your medical history with you. Before we begin, could you confirm your age for me?\nPatient: I'm twenty five years old. \nDoctor: Thank you. Doctor X, could you go over the diagnosis of erythema nodosum?\nDoctor_2: She was diagnosed in two thousand and four after a biopsy was done that confirmed erythema nodosum, but the detail from the Netherlands is not that specific. \nDoctor: What kind of procedures were done to address it? \nDoctor_2: She had undergone a colonoscopy to address secondary diseases that may have been present because of the erythema nodosum, correct miss?\nPatient: Yeah, that's correct. \nDoctor: Were there any findings, Doctor X? \nDoctor_2: The findings were uncertain if the terminal ileum had abnormal biopsies. However, the skin biopsy mentioned some fibrosis, basal proliferation, and inflammatory cells in the subcutis.\nDoctor: I see. Her report states something about a tibia and fibula fracture on her right leg before the erythema nodosum. Are these skin lesions due to the fracture? \nDoctor_2: The skin lesions are not associated with the fracture, correct ma'am? \nPatient: That's correct. The cuts in my skins are on both legs too. Not just the right.\nDoctor: Thank you. Did anything occur before the skin lesions? \nDoctor_2: She had cosmetic surgery done on her jaw. \nDoctor: Ma'am, I see you visited our clinic and the Dermatology several times, correct? \nPatient: Yeah, that's correct. I had a rash that I wanted to get checked. \nDoctor_2: I remember that. I was here when she presented the rash. We suggested the rash in her lower extremities and ankles was erythema nodosum. She also had discomfort, which could have been inflammatory arthritis. \nDoctor: Doctor X, did you confirm with any tests? \nDoctor_2: Yes. There was an initial S E D above one hundred and ten and her C P R was increased. \nDoctor: Great. In the visits after, were there any other problems found? \nDoctor_2: The reports says that no other abnormalities were found. However, I do see something about her first visit. \nDoctor: Could you explain what it says?\nDoctor_2: She has some M T P detected, which could have been signs of erythema nodosum. However, the Dermatology did not agree, and they believed it to be venous stasis. \nDoctor: The venous stasis could have been related to the fracture, right? \nDoctor_2: That is correct. \nDoctor: Her initial visit reports suspicion of I B D, sarcoid inflammatory arthropathy, and lupus. Why was that? \nDoctor_2: She had a questionable rheumatoid fracture even though her C C P was negative. Her A N A was positive at one to four zero. There was a persistent speckled pattern. However, the rest of the lupus serologies were negative. \nDoctor: What lupus serologies were used? \nDoctor_2: Double stranded D N A, R N P, Smith, R O, and L A were used. \nDoctor: How did her cardiolipin antibodies panel look? \nDoctor_2: They were all negative. We made sure I g M, I g G, and I g A were less than ten. \nDoctor: I see. Was there anything else in the report? \nDoctor_2: She had her beta 2 glycoprotein one or R V V T tested. \nDoctor: That seems important because of the livedo pattern. \nDoctor_2: Exactly. That's why they concluded it was an onset of lupus and not rheumatoid arthritis because the arthritis couldn't be associated with erythema nodosum. \nDoctor: Why did she undergo a C T scan?\nDoctor_2: We feared she had lymphoma. The scan of her chest, abdomen, and pelvis were done to rule out sarcoid. \nDoctor: I see. The results came out normal, right?\nDoctor_2: That's correct. \nDoctor: Did you change some of you habits to help your bowels, ma'am? \nPatient: I tried my best to. \nDoctor: That's good. What was found Doctor X? \nDoctor_2: There was evidence of B twelve deficiency with a high methylmalonic and high homocystine levels along with a low normal B twelve in addition to iron studies consistent with iron deficiency and an initially low M C V.\nDoctor: That gives the possibility of inflammatory bowel disease, right?\nDoctor_2: Correct. That's stated in the report. \nDoctor: Were there any tests done to confirm this? \nDoctor_2: She underwent a colonoscopy, which showed nothing. Her endoscopy was also normal. Recently, she underwent a second coloscopy, and no evidence of inflammatory bowel disease was seen after viewing it microscopically. \nDoctor: Nothing was seen microscopically? \nDoctor_2: Actually, we determined there were aggregates of eosinophils. \nDoctor: That sounds important. That could be due to an allergic reaction or an emergence of Crohn Disease. I will have to discuss with Doctor Y from Gastroenterology to see the significance. \nPatient: Could I interrupt for a second? I don't think my B twelve and iron deficiency were looked at while I stayed in the United States. \nDoctor: Is that correct, Doctor X?\nDoctor_2: That is. I think these details were from somewhere else. \nDoctor: At least we are aware of it. What medication was provided during her first visit? \nDoctor_2: It looks like she was placed on forty milligrams of prednisone. The strength was reduced over time. \nDoctor: This may be a reason to her acne. Was she taken off this medication?\nDoctor_2: Yes, she was. There were too many adverse effects. \nDoctor: What was she places on after?\nDoctor_2: It looks like she started a point six m g colchicine, which she took daily. \nDoctor: How were her inflammatory markers after taking it? \nDoctor_2: Her markers were under control and positive. She also didn't have any evidence of erythema nodosum. \nDoctor: That is great. How did you like that medication, ma'am? \nPatient: My ankle would swell up and hurt. There were also some sensitive rashes on the skin of my legs. \nDoctor: I see. Is that stated on the report, Doctor X? \nDoctor_2: It is. I also see that she was reevaluated by Dermatology. \nDoctor: Did they find anything apparent? \nDoctor_2: No, they didn't. They didn't find any evidence of erythema nodosum. \nDoctor: What was the plan following that? \nDocotr_2: It looks like we proceeded with a D E X A scan and checked her vitamin D levels. \nDoctor: Was there any medication prescribed? \nDoctor_2: We ordered vitamin D and calcium to be bought over the counter so that her bones were protected. However, they use of them was stopped until we figured out the underlying cause of her disease. \nDoctor: I see. Other than the fracture and jaw surgery, was there anything else? \nDoctor_2: It shows she had Varicella and Mononucleosis, correct ma'am? \nPatient: Yeah, that's correct. \nDoctor: That's good. Our recent physical exam with you from last August showed changes in your venous stasis and diffuse periarticular ankle edema. Fortunately, we did not find any erythema nodosum, but the livedo patter was still present. \nPatient: I see. Did you find anything else? \nDoctor: We did find a heart murmur, so we will conduct an echocardiogram. Doctor X, could you confirm all the details form the workup, please?\nDoctor_2: Of course. Her A C E levels were normal. Her sed rate was around 30, which was high. Before that, it was around one ten, which is even higher. Her R V V T was normal. The rheumatoid factor was negative. The urinalysis was also normal. She had a C R P level of two point three, which was high. Her C C P came out negative. Her C B C displayed microcytosis and hypochromia with hematocrit levels of thirty seven point seven. Her hematocrit levels improved to forty point three later on, and she did not have any hypochromia, microcytosis, or anemia present. \nDoctor: Thank you for all that information. Does all this information and history seem to be correct, ma'am? \nPatient: Yes. Thank you for going over that in front of me. \nDoctor: No problem. I see you're here today regarding some mild but intense skin rashes. You mentioned that you thought it was erythema nodosum, correct? \nPatient: Yeah, that's correct. I think it's on my ankles. I also feel some joint stiffness. \nDoctor: I will take note of that. You also mentioned something about a rash before. Did you have a rash that was sensitive to U V light, like sunlight? \nPatient: That's right. I had it twice when I was in Europe. \nDoctor: When did you notice the rashes? \nPatient: I was skiing, and my face started to swell up. \nDoctor: I see. Do you think it had to do anything with your acne? \nPatient: No. My acne was stable after I stopped taking that one medicine and started the other. \nDoctor: The prednisone and colchicine we mentioned earlier, correct? \nPatient: That's correct. \nDoctor: Is there anything else you would like to ask? \nPatient: I am trying to get pregnant and would like to know if the medication has any effects on pregnancy. \nDoctor: I'll discus that with you right now. \nPatient: Actually, could you provide me with a pamphlet?
