Hi there. My name’s xxxx, and I’ll be asking you some questions first and then doing a physical checkup on you. Greetings
06/28/20 1:17 AM EDT
Hello.
What’s your name? Asking
06/28/20 1:17 AM EDT
Tina Jones.
Why are you here today? Asking
06/28/20 1:30 AM EDT
I’ve been dealing with a sore and itchy throat, and my nose won’t stop running. These symptoms are really bothering me.
I’m sorry to hear that. Expressing empathy
06/28/20 1:31 AM EDT
Thank you for understanding.
How long have you been experiencing these symptoms? Asking
06/28/20 1:32 AM EDT
My itchy eyes, runny nose, and sore throat all began about a week ago. [AUDIO COMING SOON]
Have you had these symptoms before? Asking
06/28/20 1:35 AM EDT
No, I haven’t.
How intense is your sore throat? Asking
06/28/20 1:36 AM EDT
It’s not too bad. It hurts a bit, like a mild to moderate level of pain. But the main issue is that it’s persistent.
Is the soreness in your throat constant? Asking
06/28/20 1:37 AM EDT
Yes, it’s pretty much there all the time.
Can you describe the discomfort? Asking
06/28/20 1:42 AM EDT
It’s quite sore and itchy, particularly towards the back of my throat.
On a scale from 0 to 10, how would you rate the pain? Asking
06/28/20 1:43 AM EDT
Probably around a 4 out of 10.
Does the pain spread elsewhere? Asking
06/28/20 1:44 AM EDT
No, it’s localized in my throat.
What do you think might be causing your sore throat? Asking
06/28/20 1:45 AM EDT
Initially, I thought it might be the onset of a cold or flu, but now I’m not so sure. It hasn’t worsened, but it hasn’t improved either.
Does anything exacerbate the pain? Asking
06/28/20 1:46 AM EDT
It’s a bit worse in the morning, but that’s the only consistent pattern I’ve noticed.
Are there any other symptoms you’re experiencing? Asking
06/28/20 1:46 AM EDT
Let me think… I’ve got quite a list: a sore and itchy throat, a runny nose, and itchy eyes.
Have you had any nasal discharge? Asking
06/28/20 1:47 AM EDT
Only when I’m around cats.
Can you describe the nasal discharge? Asking
06/28/20 1:48 AM EDT
It’s very runny and clear. Quite unpleasant, really. [AUDIO COMING SOON]
Do you have any eye issues? Asking
06/28/20 1:52 AM EDT
Apart from the current itchiness, sometimes my vision blurs when I read. It feels like my eyesight has been deteriorating over the years.
Are you experiencing shortness of breath? Asking
06/28/20 2:00 AM EDT
No, my breathing is fine.
Do you have any other medical conditions? Asking
06/28/20 2:05 AM EDT
I have diabetes and asthma, but I’m not dealing with those today.
When were you diagnosed with asthma? Asking
06/28/20 2:06 AM EDT
I was diagnosed when I was very young, around two and a half years old. I used to have frequent asthma attacks back then.
Have you ever been hospitalized for asthma? Asking
06/28/20 2:08 AM EDT
I went to the hospital numerous times during my childhood due to asthma attacks.
When was the last time you were hospitalized for asthma? Asking
06/28/20 2:09 AM EDT
I used to go quite often when I was younger, but not since I was sixteen.
Do you take any medication for asthma? Asking
06/28/20 2:10 AM EDT
Just my inhaler.
What type of inhaler do you use? Asking
06/28/20 2:11 AM EDT
It’s a regular Proventil inhaler.
How frequently do you use your inhaler? Asking
06/28/20 2:11 AM EDT
Not every day—maybe 2 or 3 times a week, sometimes even less.
How often do you experience a runny nose? Asking
06/28/20 2:18 AM EDT
It’s constant throughout the day.
Have you been exposed to any allergens recently? Asking
06/28/20 2:20 AM EDT
Not recently.
Do you have any allergies? Asking
06/28/20 2:21 AM EDT
Yes, I’m allergic to cats and dust.
Are you allergic to pollen? Asking
06/28/20 2:21 AM EDT
Not that I know of. Although, despite never having had pollen allergies before, my symptoms resemble those of my sister, who has hay fever. I’m starting to suspect allergies.
Are you allergic to mold? Asking
06/28/20 2:22 AM EDT
Not that I’m aware of.
Is there a family history of throat issues? Asking
06/28/20 2:31 AM EDT
No.
Do you take any over-the-counter medications? Asking
06/28/20 2:31 AM EDT
I’ve been trying throat lozenges lately. Occasionally, I’ll take Tylenol for headaches or Advil for cramps, but not regularly.
How often do you experience headaches? Asking
06/28/20 2:32 AM EDT
About once a week. I tend to do a lot of school work in one go, studying for 5 or 6 hours straight, which often results in a headache by the end of the night.
How would you rate these headaches? Asking
06/28/20 2:33 AM EDT
They’re not too severe, maybe around a 3. Or a 4 if

|
Alright, thanks for letting me know. | ||

How is your family medical history? (Clarified to Can you tell me about your family medical history?.) | Question 06/28/20 4:45 PM EDT |
|
My mom has some issues, and I think some of my grandparents did, too. (Clarified to to tell you about my family medical history.) | ||
Question 06/28/20 6:25 PM EDT |
||
Grandpa Jones had colon cancer, and that caused all kinds of problems for him. Plus, he had high blood pressure, and…I’m pretty sure he had diabetes. | ||
How did you cope with your father’s death? | Question 06/28/20 6:25 PM EDT |
|
Well, right after he died, after the funeral and everything, I just tried to get through that. Mom was having such a hard time, crying a lot, everything made her sad, she was kinda depressed. So I guess at first I just focused on getting things done–groceries, laundry, insurance papers and stuff. Knowing that Mom needed me kinda helped me get through day by day. There was about a month where it was hard for us to get to church. Even getting up and ready for church was too overwhelming. But our church family helped us out, and gave us rides to church and brought meals and all that, so they really helped build us back up. Things were only hard like that for a few months. | ||
Seems you have a strong support system. | Empathize 06/28/20 6:32 PM EDT |
|
Thanks. | ||
What health issues does your sister have? | Question 06/28/20 6:34 PM EDT |
|
She’s pretty healthy. She has asthma too, but she almost never has attacks. | ||
What health issues does your brother have? | Question 06/28/20 6:40 PM EDT |
|
None that I know of. He’s got some extra weight on him, I guess. | ||
Anyone with obesity in your family? | Question 06/28/20 6:47 PM EDT |
|
No, I don’t think so. My brother and my dad are kind of big, but I wouldn’t say they were obese or anything. | ||
Anyone with alcoholism in your family? | Question 06/28/20 7:11 PM EDT |
|
One person in the family, my dad’s brother, has an alcohol problem, but we never see him. | ||
What work do you do? | Question 06/28/20 7:14 PM EDT |
|
I’m a supervisor at Mid-American Copy & Ship. I’ve been working there since high school, and I’ve just kept moving up. | ||
Am glad to hear that. | Empathize 06/28/20 7:14 PM EDT |
|
Thanks for saying that. | ||
What is your highest level of education? | Question 06/28/20 7:15 PM EDT |
|
Well, I’m finishing up my Bachelor’s degree right now. | ||
Any fever? | Question 06/28/20 7:19 PM EDT |
|
No, I haven’t felt feverish at all this week. That’s another reason why this seems more like allergies than a cold. | ||
Any dizziness? | Question 06/28/20 7:24 PM EDT |
|
I’m not feeling dizzy, no. | ||
Any eye discharge? | Question 06/28/20 7:24 PM EDT |
|
Well, they’ve been watery. | ||
When do you get blurry vision? | Question 06/28/20 7:25 PM EDT |
|
Usually when I’m reading. | ||
Do you have red eyes? | Question 06/28/20 7:27 PM EDT |
|
Yeah, my eyes have been kinda red. They look the way they do when I’m around a cat, but I haven’t been near one. | ||
Have you travelled abroad for more than one month? | Question 06/28/20 7:29 PM EDT |
|
I really haven’t travelled that much…I’ve always wanted to go to France but I’ve never even been out of the country. I’m always busy with work or school anyway though. We used to go on some family vacations when I was younger, but they were usually just to see some family in other states. | ||
Am sure when you get less busy, you will travel more. | Empathize 06/28/20 7:30 PM EDT |
|
I appreciate you telling me that. | ||
Any wheezing? | Question 06/28/20 7:31 PM EDT |
|
No, I’m not wheezing. | ||
Thanks for answering my questions, let me now conduct physical exam. | Educate 06/28/20 7:38 PM EDT |
