P: Um, yeah, what should I do about this cough?
D: Yeah, so this cough, um, it's been going on for the last four days. Since you do have a cough, um and right now that, like, is considered a symptom, like, like a potential symptom for COVID, we definitely want to do a COVID swab test for you, which will come back in 24 hours to 48 hours. You should still try and isolate as much as you can away from any roommates, or family members for the next, so, 14 days since you first experienced the, the cough.
P: Okay.
D: Based on, like, public health will call you as well so you can follow their instructions. And if, it can be anything else too, like, with a cough, there can be multiple things going on. You can have um, like an upper respiratory, viral, or bacterial infection. But since you're not having too many other symptoms right now, it can just be bronchitis. Um, this is something that we'll try and keep an eye on and make sure it's nothing else like, uh pneumonia, for example. But right now, yeah, we'll get that testing done and then just, kind of wait and watch.
P: Sure, yeah. Thank you.
D: You're welcome, take care.
P: You too.

P: Yeah. Yeah, and then also like, I remember when I was walking down the street and someone was smoking and then I just completely just started having that episode right after I walked past them.
D: Okay um, alright. Uh um okay, sorry, one moment. Okay um, so is there anything that makes your cough better? What do you do to make it go away?
P: Uh, I just basically have to, if I, if I'm doing any kind of activities, just take a moment, sit down for like 10 to 15 minutes and then it seems like it goes away on its own.
D: And you said that sometimes you also have difficulties breathing with it?
P: Yeah, like a couple of times it got really bad where I had to um like, it was difficult get, it was, it was like I was trying to take deep breaths for air, but uh it was, it just felt like I couldn't.
D: I see. So this started a couple of months ago, has this ever happened to you before that?
P: No, before that I've been fine.
D: Okay, and so I'm going to ask you about a couple other symptoms. Let me know if you've experienced any of these in the past couple of months. Um, so have you had a headache that accompanies the cough?

P: Uh, yeah, all my immunizations are up to date.
D: Okay, good good good. Um, does the cough sound like a barky cough or a muffled cough, or um, does it have a specific characteristic? Does it sound different than when you're sort of coughing to clear your throat, for instance?
P: Uh yeah, it's like pretty, it can get pretty harsh. I also noticed like uh, there's like this weird noise I started making like right after when I'm trying to take deep breaths in.
D: Okay, okay. Okay, so you're wheezing. Okay, so you ever um, cough so much that you end up vomiting?
P: No, no that hasn't happen yet.
D: Um, and do you, so you mentioned that it's worse when you're in the cold or exercising, and smoking makes it worse? What about things like dust or pollen? Um, say when you're cleaning the house and there's also dust, does that make things worse, or is it worse in a specific time of the year when you're outdoors?
P: Uh, now that you mention it, yeah, like if we're ever in the basement or anything like that, I, I do start getting like kind of irritation um, in my throat, and that kind of, sometimes I have also coughed at those times.
D: Alright. Uh, can you tell me, okay so, can you tell me if you have any medical conditions that you've been diagnosed with?
P: No, nothing else, I've been pretty healthy.
D: Okay. Had, did, when you were a child, did you have any sort of rash? Did you have eczema?
P: Oh I, yeah, so I did I, at one point I was using like this cream um, probably when I was ten. Just for some eczema on my hands.
D: Okay. And um, have you ever had allergic rhinitis, which is basically sort of having um, red or teary eyes, itchiness on the face, a runny nose at certain times of the year, or in um, areas with mold or dust, or termites and things like that? Have you had anything like that as a child or right now?
P: Uh, not that I know of, no.
D: Okay. Alright, uh do you have any, um, I guess going back, were you a healthy child, growing up?
P: Yeah, as far as I know, I, I didn't really have any concerns from like the school or home at all.
D: Okay, that's great. Do you uh, did you ever have any hospitalizations?
P: No.
D: Any surgeries?
P: No.
D: Are you taking any medications?
P: Uh, no medications.
D: Are you still using the eczema cream?
P: No, no. That kind of just went away on its own, or like right after I used the cream. Like it's good now.
D: Okay, good. Are you allergic to anything?
P: No, I don't think so. Maybe just like environmental allergies sometimes, in the springtime.
D: What happens then?
P: Um, just sometimes like uh, I don't know if it's like a pollen allergy like I, I do get some, I guess I do get like some nasal congestion and things like that.
D: Um, have you ever seen an allergist?
P: No, I haven't.
D: No. Uh, who prescribed the cream for the eczema?
P: Um, just a, it was like at a walk-in clinic.
D: Okay, okay. Um alright, and do you have any family history of any um, lung-related problems? Or any other problems?
P: Um, my older sister has asthma, and uh, I don't know if anyone else in the family has asthma. Um, I think my father has high blood pressure.
D: Alright, and you mentioned that things are going well at school. Um, who do you live with at home?
P: Yeah so I live with my older sister, and my mom and dad.
D: Okay, okay. And things are good at home? Do you feel safe?
P: Yeah, yeah, I feel completely safe.
D: Any concerns about bullying at school?
P: No, no, not at all.
D: Okay are you uh, are you taking any marijuana or any street drugs?
P: No, no, my parents would kill me.
D: What about alcohol?
P: Uh, I'll come, I've, I haven't tried it um, yet, at all.
D: Okay, okay. Just wanted to mention that the conversation that we're having right now is confidential between you and me. Um, unless you mentioned anything that harms you or harms anyone else so, so feel free to discuss whatever or talk openly about um, any issues that you have. Um, okay, and um, are you sexually active?
P: No, no.
D: Alright, okay. So um, that's all the information I needed. Uh given that you've had these coughing fits for the past couple of months that are, that have certain triggers, uh, and also given that you've had a history of eczema, and your sister has asthma, so kind of, sort of runs in your family in a way. You might also have a diagnosis of asthma potentially. Um, and so, what I would recommend is that you get um, testing done and um, uh I guess before I sort of talk a little more about this, I just want to get a sense of how severe your asthma, if it's asthma at all, um if, does it, does it affect your ability to, you said school was going okay, does it affect your ability to do well at school at all?
P: Um definitely in, in gym class, but other than that it hasn't really affected me.
D: Does it wake you up at night?
P: No, so far no. I, I like, I get pretty good sleep.
D: Okay, okay. Um, and how often, I guess is, do these episodes occur? How many times a week, or how many times a month?
P: Uh, so they just started like two months ago, and I've had like maybe four or five of them in total.
D: Okay, okay. Uh, and they kind of get better on their own. Okay, so we can sort of talk about these, sorry, puffers that you might need to, to use as needed. Um, your sister might have some of those, so you might be familiar with what I'm talking about.
P: Yeah.
D: Um, so we can talk about that. Um, given that your symptoms are, yes, they've been occurring for the past couple of months, but because you have had a cough, it might be a good idea just to have a COVID test done once. Um, I don't think that's what you have, seeing that this, these symptoms have been lasting for, have been occurring for the past two months, so we'll just kind of do that test to rule it out. Um, in the meantime, I would recommend that you um, try this inhaled corticosteroid puffer that you can use, that you should use on a daily basis, and try to avoid uh, the triggers. So the things that you, that cause these symptoms. Um, we can go over how to use uh, a puffer properly and I will also give you a spacer, which will help deliver most of that medication in the, uh, to your lungs. Do you have any questions?
P: Uh no, I don't have any questions at all. Thank you so much.

P: So I live in London um in a small apartment with my wife.
D: OK, do you have any pets around?
P: No, no pets.
D: Alright, and um, any exposures at work too, like dust or any types of like chemicals like that.
P: No, not really. My work is pretty much a desk job, so nothing like that.

P: Yeah yeah.
D: OK. Have you tried to quit?
P: Yeah, tried to quit. I've even quite a couple times but then just got back onto it. Yeah, not not really ready to quit.

P: Um no, not that I know of.
D: Alright um so, that that was all the questions that I wanted to ask on history. Was there any, uh, any other questions that you had?
P: No, not really. Just wanted to get to the bottom of this.
D: OK for sure so um we will run some investigations and likely get a chest X Ray because it's been a couple of months that these symptoms have been going on for. But I think it could be related to your smoking and most likely um Bronc, chronic bronchitis, but we can definitely will be looking into this, and then also with possibly some pulmonary function tests as well.
P: OK, sounds good.

D: OK, have you had any recent infections like a cold?
P: No.
D: No, OK. And do you have any past medical conditions?
P: Um, I have Crohn's disease.
D: And when did you get diagnosed with Crohn's?
P: That would have been last year.
D: Last year, OK. And are you taking any medications for your Crohn's disease?
P: I am on something for it, I think it's Sulfasalazine or something like that.
D: OK. And any other medications besides that?
P: Uhm, no, I don't think so.
D: Any previous hospitalizations or surgeries?
P: Um, I had a colonoscopy done. I just needed hospitalization for just the day I guess.
D: OK, and when was that?
P: That was also last year.
D: Last year, OK. And do you have any family history of any conditions that run in the family? Like do you have any Crohn's disease or Ulcerative Colitis that run in the family?
P: Yeah, both do.
D: Both do, OK. Any anything else that runs in the family?
P: Uhm, I know there's some asthma and eczema that run in the family too.
D: OK. And you mentioned you haven't been around anyone that was sick or recently got sick?
P: No.
D: OK. And where do you currently live?
P: I live in an apartment by myself. Sorry, not by myself, with my parents and my younger brother.
D: And do you at all drink alcohol?
P: No, I drank once or twice in the past, but I didn't like it. It makes my Crohn's worse so I stay away from it.
D: OK, and do you smoke cigarettes?
P: No.
D: And how about any other drugs like marijuana?
P: No.
D: OK. Alright, so do you partake in any like sports or activities or anything like that?
P: Um, I swim.
D: OK, any contact sports?
P: No.
D: OK. Alright, so yeah, overall it seems that you had this sore throat which is constant, getting worse and a bit of a fever in th last one or two days and you've also had swelling in your neck and so yeah, do you have any other questions or concerns?
P: No, like what do you think I have? Do you think it's COVID?
D: Yeah, so definitely at this time, you know whenever people have any respiratory symptoms we always want to rule out COVID. So will definitely get a swab for COVID testing done for you today which should come back within 24 to 48 hours and in the meantime you should self isolate. And other than that, it can also be, due to this swelling in your lymph nodes and also just the other symptoms, it can be other viral infections. It can be mono so we definitely have to do a couple of tests, and there's one test that will do for mono as well which is called EBV antibody testing. So we'll do a couple of these tests today and then see what what comes back. And in the meantime you should definitely self isolate if you haven't been doing so already.
P: OK, sure I can do that.
D: Yeah, do you have any questions?
P: No, that sounds good. Thank you so much.
D: You're welcome. Take care.
P: You too.

P: Um my fiancé and I live in a townhouse.
D: In a townhouse, OK, um, any um concerns for like old carpets or mold or asbestos, anything like that?
P: Uh no, it's like a new a new building.
D: OK, OK, and do you think you may have been in contact with anyone who's been sick recently?
P: Well, so um, I work uh in like, I work in an office that's attached to a factory um and I, so like I have to actually be there, I haven't been able to work from home. Um and there was someone else in my office that I think was coughing in that, like last week and I I don't know, I questioned it but I I didn't actually get to talk to them and ask them, or like I don't know if they were actually sick or something. So, I might have been, and we wear masks and everything, like we're really good, but I don't know, I feel like the offices aren't like super, like the air flow's not that great.
D: Yeah.
P: So yeah, I think that's another reason I was concerned, that I I feel like some people might have been sick and I didn't really know the whole story.
D: Right, OK, so potentially, from from the workplace then, OK.
P: Yeah.
D: And, OK, um have you traveled anywhere recently?
P: No.
D: No, OK. Well those were all the questions that I had for you today, was there um anything that I missed that you wanted to discuss today?
P: Uh not that I can think of.
D: No, OK. So right now it seems like, if I'm going through my differential diagnosis list for you, at the top is, the thing that we have to rule out is Covid, so we'll take a swab and send it off for those PCR results and you'll hear back either tomorrow or the day after, about the results. But in the mean time, and I guess even if the test is negative, um and you're still having symptoms, please do isolate for 14 days. Um and if your symptoms get worse, um like you know, you're having trouble breathing, uh your fever, your temperature is off the charts, um or you're having any sort of neurological symptom, please do um go to the ER and seek out help. Um if it's not Covid, it could be another viral illness that's going around at, during this time of year, um, and usually the treatment for that kind of stuff is supportive, so make sure you're staying well hydrated, you're eating nutritious foods, uh you're getting good sleep. Um and if not, and your symptoms, you know you're having a productive cough, um you're really short of breath, uh we can test you to see if you have some sort of bacterial pneumonia, and those are usually treated with antibiotics, so that's kind of the plan right now. Um so we'll just start with that Covid swab for now. How does that sound?
P: Yeah, that that sounds great. That's really what it, like, I I don't feel super sick, I just really wanna know if I have Covid or not.
D: Yeah for sure and I, and I think it's good that you came in.
P: Awesome.
D: Alright, thank you.
P: OK thanks.

P: Yeah.
D: I know that you've been having experiencing a cough. Can you tell me a little bit about that?
P: Yeah, I um I've had this cough for the past two weeks and it just doesn't go.
D: OK. have never had anything like this before?
P: I’m I usually get a cold once a year or so. But the cough doesn't last this long, like it's usually over in a week or week and a half or so.
D: Mm. And it's it's not letting up.
P: Mm.
D: OK um. I'm gonna ask you a few questions about the cough itself. Is this a dry cough that you're experiencing? Or are you producing like any any mucus or coughing up anything?
P: There was some mucus um earlier on, but now it's it's all, it’s a dry cough.
D: Now, it's dry OK how long, what was the timeline for that? I guess how long?
P: Yeah, so maybe for the first four or five days there was this like whitish clear kind of mucus that was coming up and then after that was a a dry cough.
D: OK, OK. And do you feel like the intensity of the cough got worse over the last two weeks, or has it gotten any better?
P: Kind of the same, I would say.
D: And has the cough gotten more frequent over this time as well?
P: No.
D: How often would you say that you're coughing?
P: Uhm? It's hard for me to quantify, maybe a couple of times an hour, maybe three or four times an hour or so.
D: Is there anything you can think of that triggers the cough, or is it spontaneous?
P: It’s kinda, spontaneous um. Can't really think of anything.
D: OK. And along with the cough, are you experiencing any difficulty breathing?
P: No.
D: OK, have you noticed any fevers?
P: Uhm, no.
D: OK um. Have you had any sore throat?
P: Um I did initially um for the first two or three days and then that got better.
D: OK um. Have you had any runny nose?
P: I did initially yeah, I have like had all those flu symptoms for the first couple of days, but the cough just kinda stayed. Everything else resolved in the first uhm three or four days I would say.
D: OK. Thank you for sharing that have you had, did you have any chest pain at any point?
P: No, but I guess like sometimes when I'm coughing too much my chest hurts a little bit.
D: OK, so it feels kind of sore after all that?
P: Yeah.
D: OK. OK, have you been in contact, I guess it's hard to say because it started a while ago, but before it started bringing contact with anyone that's been sick?
P: I I work at the hospital, but. Um I'm wearing PPE all the time, and I'm very careful so.
D: OK. Have you traveled anywhere outside of the province?
P: No.
D: OK, have you had any nausea or vomiting?
P: No.
D: OK, any belly pain?
P: Uhm, no.

P: I’ve got acid reflux and uh, I also have anxiety.
D: Are you currently taking any medications?
P: Um. I I used to, not anymore.
D: Uh, was there any particular medication that you stopped recently?
P: No, no. I used to take. I used to take something for anxiety two three years ago.
D: OK. And what do you do for your reflux?
P: I just avoid right now, I'm just trying to avoid the foods that make things worse for me and I feel like that's helped me quite a bit, uhm so yeah. I quite like acidic foods and chocolates and things like that.
D: Sure. That's no fun.
P: Yeah.
D: Do you have any allergies?
P: Just hay fever.
D: And do you have any family history of respiratory problems or heart problems?

P: I’m a clerk at the hospital.
D: OK. Right, you just say you working at the hospital. And, uh. I can't think I thought I had another question for you, but I can't remember it. Anything else that you wanted to tell me about that I didn't ask you.
P: Um. No, I guess I was just wondering why I still have a cough. It's been such a long time. Um yeah, and I was wondering if I could get any medications just to help with that. It's not really. Yeah, it's everyone's like scared at work when I cough. I have. I have had the covid test and I don't have it, um so yeah.
D: When we got the last test done?
P: Um I had the test done when I first started having symptoms about two weeks ago? Since then I've been at home and I'm just waiting for my symptoms to get better, but I you know, I kind of like get back, and I don't want to be coughing when I get back. Um yeah.
D: OK. Well, I'm gonna have a quick listen to your heart and lungs I'll do a quick physical exam and then I will go get the doctor that I'm working with all kind of go over everything you talked about, and then we'll come back and talk to you about where to go from here.
P: Sounds great.
D: OK well thanks for chatting with me.

D: What brings you here today?
P: Um so I'm here because my shoulder has been really painful for the past week um and any movement of that shoulder, of my right shoulder, causes a lot of pain.
D: OK, and how long have you been having uh this pain for?
P: For the past week,
D: Past week, OK. Um and did you injure your shoulder at all recently? Any trauma to the area or anything like that?
P: Um so about like, a couple of months ago, I um was do, I I work in construction so um I was moving around some heavy objects and um I guess like the repetitive motions caused some sort of rotator cuff injury. But I had that um, like I got that treated and everything was fine for a couple of months. But this pain just started a week ago.
D: OK, and where is this pain located exactly?
P: Um it's it's just like in my shoulder, like at the joint between my upper arm and um shoulder.
D: OK, and uh is it an aching pain or is it a sharp stabbing pain?
P: So at rest it seems to be like achy and stiff, but um but when I move my shoulder, when I try to move it, it it causes more of a sharp pain.
D: Sharp pain, OK and what kind of movements cause the sharp pain? Or is it just any movement?
P: Uh any movement.
D: OK. Are there any uh movements that are worse in particular?
P: Um I think um, like no, anything hurts.
D: OK. OK, and how much would you rate this pain out, on a scale of zero to 10, 10 being the worst pain you felt in your life?
P: I'd give it about a 7.
D: Seven, OK.
P: Yeah.
D: And are you having uh, is this pain moving to any other uh joints or any other part of your body?
P: No.
D: OK, so just just in the area that you described?
P: Yes.
D: OK, and do you notice any kind of um, just looking at your shoulder outside, from the outside, any swelling, redness, any masses or deformities?
P: No, I don't see anything like that.
D: OK, alright and um is there anything that you've tried that has helped with your pain?
P: Um I've tried some ibuprofen, some ice. It seems to help temporarily.
D: OK, and earlier when you had the rotator cuff injury, did you get physiotherapy?
P: Um I did. But not, but I didn't finish the full course. I just went for a week or so and then um I had to go back to work, um so I stopped doing that.
D: I see, um yeah, so that's something definitely uh it's very important and we'll need to consider going forward as well. Other than that, are you having any symptoms of any fevers or chills?
P: Uh no, nothing like that.
D: OK, and have you been sick recently at all or met with someone who was sick?
P: No.
D: OK, any any weight loss um or loss of appetite? Anything like that?
P: Uh no, nothing like that.
D: OK, any numbness or tingling?
P: No.
D: Any weakness in your extremities?
P: No.
D: Any um any just symptoms or anything else like diarrhea, constipation, urinary changes? Anything else is going on?
P: No.
D: No, OK. So it's mainly just the shoulder pain?
P: Yes.
D: OK, um alright, and does rest help at all, like when you're lying down, just not moving your shoulder. Does that help with your pain?
P: Uh, yeah I would say so.
D: OK. And is is this stiffness there just throughout the day, or is it there in the morning and then gets better during the day?
P: It's pretty much there all day.
D: OK. Alright um and have you been diagnosed with any medical conditions in the past?
P: Uh, I have um, I have diabetes, but that's about it.
D: OK, and do you take any medications?
P: I'm on metformin.
D: OK. Um and do you have any allergies to any medications?
P: No, no allergies to medications.
D: Have you been hospitalized or had any surgeries in the past?
P: No.
D: No, OK. Um any family history of any musculoskeletal or rheumatological conditions?
P: No.
D: OK, and currently right now, so you said you work as a construction worker, right?
P: Yes.
D: And are you off of work right now, or have you been off work um due to your previous injury and pain, or are you still working?
P: I'm still working, but modified, um so I am not uh lifting any heavy objects or anything like that. I'm just doing some like groundwork.
D: OK, that's good. Yeah, I mean, um we might also need to, if you're doing any kind of overhead like work where you're raising your arms above your shoulders, that might uh, cause further problems as well, so we'll look into some of those modified duties as well.
P: OK.
D: Um yeah, and what is your living situation like right now? Who do you live with?
P: Um I live by myself right now.
D: Do you live in a house or apartment?
P: Um I live in an apartment.
D: And, uh, uh, in terms of your daily life, do you smoke at all?
P: Um I don't smoke. I used to smoke before, but that was like 20 years ago.
D: OK, that's good, and do you use any recreational drugs like marijuana or any other drugs?
P: Uh no, no.
D: How about smoking, you smoke cigarettes? Sorry, you said you you quit. Um do you drink alcohol?
P: I'll drink like a glass of wine here and there.
D: OK. Alright, um yeah, and those were some of the questions I had for you. In terms of just a physical examination, uh when you press on the area that you describe, um when you press around the area, does it hurt?
P: I have to press pretty hard for it to hurt.
D: OK, but otherwise it's not tender?
P: No.
D: OK, and again, no swelling, redness, or anything like that, just it's mainly just on the inside?
P: Yeah.
D: OK, and um and any kind of movement hurts, right? There's no particular movement that, like if you were instead of um trying to raise that shoulder by itself, if you were to just move it with the other arm. Does it hurt?
P: The other arm? The other arm doesn't hurt at all.
D: Or like if you were to use your left arm to to passively move your right arm and shoulder. Does that hurt or is it when you just try to move the right arm by itself?
P: It's, oh, it still hurts, any any moving of the shoulder hurts.
D: OK, alright, so yeah, so based on what um you've told me so far in your recent shoulder cuff injury, what can sometimes happen is uh with those injuries, you might get some um inflammation and what might happen is something called uh adhesive capsulitis, or just commonly knows as known as a frozen shoulder. And there's different stages, so that might happen, so in the initial stages like freezing um and then there's stiffening in stage two, and then usually after 6 to 12 months it starts uh getting better.
P: OK.
D: Um and it might also affect your other shoulder as well. So what we'll um end up doing today is see if um we can get some um imaging done so we can do an X-Ray of your shoulder. I'm sure you've had X Rays before, so we'll kind of compare them to your shoulder X Rays from before. We, if we need to, we can also get an ultrasound if um we don't, uh we can't really tell from the X Rays. And then from there, um we can get some blood work as well. Um just your normal blood work as well as inflammation markers, and then um from there we'll need to uh, really um discuss some management strategies. So you've already tried some physiotherapy, but now we need to make sure that's uh, it's it's consistent because this is something that has a high recurrence rate and we will definitely need to finish the full course of physiotherapy, whatever it may be, um because if physiotherapy doesn't work, we may have to consider like other options like um corticosteroid injections right into your shoulder.
P: OK.
D: For some relief. But yeah, so first we'll just try some conservative methods like physiotherapy, pain management, uh and then go from there. How does that sound?
P: That sounds pretty good. Thank you.
D: Welcome, alright, so we'll call you for the X-Rays and then we'll go from there.
P: OK, sounds good.

D: When did this start?
P: This started yesterday.
D: How bad is your shortness of breath?
P: Like, I don't know. I feel like I'm OK, like n terms of being able to breathe, but I mean if I exert myself at all, there's no way I would be able to. It's, I just feel like even at rest it's hard to breathe.

P: I could talk in full sentences.
D: And the chest pain, does it only occur when you take a deep breath, or are there other times as well?
P: I pretty much yeah only when I'm taking a deep breath and say, I mean, maybe that's why part of the I can't take a deep breath so it's making me feel it's making the breathing more difficult making me feel more short of breath.

P: Yeah, it's been mostly the the family members. My husband's been working from home and the kids have been helpful as well. They are 10 and 12 so they are able to do some things on their own so yeah they've been supportive.
D: That's great. That's great. OK, and you smoke at all?
P: I do yes I I smoke about a half a pack per day.
D: For how long?
P: Um, yeah, but I I started in my, yeah, after the kids were born actually, uh so like 10 years ago.
D: OK, have you tried cutting it down at all?
P: Yeah, I have. I've kind of gone through spurts of quitting and restarting, quitting and restarting. So yeah, I've tried before.
D: OK, and what about marijuana or recreational drugs?
P: No, don't use anything like that.
D: And alcohol?
P: Yeah I'll have some wine on the on the weekends, but maybe that's like a glass or two.
D: OK, OK uhm, and do you have any medical conditions that long run in the family?
P: Just, uh, yeah, my father actually had a stroke when he was 68, and that's it.
D: OK OK uhm. You haven't ever had one, have you?
P: No, I I haven't had anything like that.
D: OK, alright. So. I guess come to in terms of smoking, you said that you've tried to quit a couple of times in the past. Do you intend on trying again? I know it can be very hard to, to quit smoking.
P: Yeah, it's only something that is always kind of in the back of my mind.
D: OK, if there's I'm happy to assist you and share resources and problems like medications and things like that that could help you if you're interested so we can talk more about that. talking about your I guess you mentioned that your weight is a little higher than or, its outside the normal range, is that something that you would like to cut down?
P: Yeah, I really try to eat more vegetables and have been trying to do that sort of thing. I've lost a few pounds, but not enough, definitely want to keep going.
D: OK, good good, as long as you feel that you what you're currently doing is helping you and is helping you reduce weight. That's great. But also I'm here for you if you need more education or guidance on that. So, given what you've told me so far, it sounds like you might have developed a clot in your leg somewhere, simply because you had a surgery and you were not moving around very much. Sometimes that causes the blood to kind of, not move around your body is as as much as it usually does, and kind of stays in one place and get turned into a clot and that clot can sometimes get dislodged and settle into your lungs, and that can make it difficult for you to breathe. So, we'll do some tests that that's what my understanding is. Given what you've told me so far, but we do have to confirm it using a test. Also, the fact that you smoke and your weight, and your BMI is high, increases your risk of developing a clot, so I would definitely strongly recommend that you continue to try to reduce both and try to quit smoking. And so we'll do an ultrasound of your leg and we'll do a scan of your chest and see what's going on and then decide if we need to give you any medications, like any blood thinning medications.
P: OK, yeah, that sounds really good. Thank you.
D: Welcome.

D: Okay. And um, have you traveled anywhere recently?
P: Um, no, I've been at home.
D: Okay, any sick contacts?
P: No.
D: No, okay. So now we're just going to move on to um, the physical exam part of this. So can you take a look at both your shoulders and let me know if you see any redness or swelling?
P: Um, I don't think I see any redness or swelling, but um, my right shoulder and my arm just seems a little bit lower than my left one.
D: Okay, okay, any um, warmth on, on that shoulder?
P: Uh, no, not that I can feel.
D: Okay, any atrophy, deformities, or skin changes?
P: Um, deformity, I, I do feel like kind of uh, like my shoulder's dropped and like there's just kind of this uh, little, like divots, where like the shoulder should be.
D: Okay, okay. And can you palpate that area for me? Just um, the bones in that area, so like right where your arm would connect to your shoulder and then kind of on your shoulder blade. Does that hurt when you press down?
P: Yeah, it hurts a lot.
D: Okay, so some tenderness and pain in the acromion process and scapula. Um, and if you press down on your biceps, triceps, does that hurt?
P: Not as much, no.
D: No, okay. And then can I get you to um, can you lift your shoulder up at all? Like to where, to the point where your fingers are touch, like reaching the ceiling?
P: No, I, I can't. I can't move it at all.
D: Alright, so um, it sounds like you have a shoulder dislocation. Um, so we are going to do an x-ray of your shoulder joint first to make sure that it's, it's just a dislocation and there aren't any broken bones or fractures. And then um, we can resolve this by doing something called a closed reduction, um, to try to put the joint back in its place.
P: Okay.
D: Um, and if that closed reduction doesn't work, then uh, you may need surgery for like a, um, a weak shoulder joint, or if like ligaments um, aren't like, strong enough and it's it continues to happen.
P: Okay.
D: Um, otherwise, we can keep it immobilized for a few days to a few weeks, um, depending on how bad the dislocation is. Um, and then once that's removed, you can do some rehab as well to restore some range of motion. Does that sound like a good plan? Do you have any questions or concerns in the meantime?
P: Uh, no, I think that's, uh, that's great.
D: Okay.

D: OK. And you said that it started a few days ago. Have you had any other symptoms other than the difficulty breathing and the fatigue?
P: I mean. I felt I think I felt really hot yesterday. I don't know the thermometer, but I had my wife put her put her hand on my forehead and she got a I felt pretty warm.

Yeah, my my prostate's a little big like it's not cancer but. So just those two things that aren't that aren't there that really big deal they don't affect my life too much.
D: Are you taking any medications for either problem?
P: I take avodart.

P: I usually have a whiskey or two on the weekends.
D: OK alright. Uh so it sounds like you have some sort of an infection with the fevers and fatigue and muscle aches, and then the difficulty breathing, of course, and then your sensation, that sensation that you are having a very cool sort of a sore throat and cough that you might be getting. We can't necessarily rule out covid just yet.
P: Thats what I was worried about.
D: Yeah, and given that you're having difficulties breathing, we're also going to have a look at your chest and do it physical exam, but also do a chest X Ray just to make sure, or just to see if there's anything a infection that is settling in your chest, and a covid swab and then uh go from there. We’ll decide whether you need to stay in the, you need to stay in the hospital and if you can go home based on those results, but if you are to go home, we would request that you stay away from from everyone, so including your wife. Try to self isolate as much as possible and your results should come out in 24 to 48 hours and then the public health nurse should tell you what to do if your results are positive.
P: OK, OK no, that sounds fair,
D: All right. Well, let's do a physical exam and then go from there.
P: OK. Thank you.
D: You're welcome.

D: How can I help you?
P: Hi, I just was brought in here today. I had a fall just waking up coming down the stairs. I fell off the last few stairs and just fell onto the right side and on, right onto my head and now, uh I couldn't even I could barely stand up and put any weight on my hip. It's the right hip.
D: OK, Uhm, so what caused you to fall in the 1st place? Did you just lose balance, were you dizzy?
P: I think I just I missed, I wasn't dizzy or anything. I just missed one of the steps and just slipped, slipped down the stairs.
D: OK.
P: But it was just the last few stairs I didn't have like I didn't hit my head or anything like that.
D: OK, and when was this?
P: This was a so I guess now two hours ago.
D: Two hours ago, OK. Has a pain been constant since?
P: Yeah, it's, it's really excruciating.
D: OK, does anything make it better or worse?
P: No, it's I'm just in extreme pain. Like I I I can't even put any weight on it.
D: OK, so you can't, OK so you can't weight bear, and you can't walk on on that leg I guess.
P: Mhmm.
D: OK. Is it a sharp kind of pain or is it dull and achy?
P: It's uh, it's pretty sharp, like if I'm not putting any weight on it right now, it's like really achy. But if I put any weight on, it's really sharp.
D: OK. And where is this pain exactly? Is it just in your right hip or is it radiating up into your upper anterior lower back or down to your leg?
P: It's in the right hip, mostly just on the side, but the pain is kind of like, all over the right side of my groin and I feel like there's some swelling there as well.
D: OK. And one to 10, 10 being the worst pain ever. How bad is your pain?
P: I would say 10, like I've never experienced pain like this.
D: 10, OK. And do you, have you ever had pain like this before? Like have you ever had a fall in the past?
P: No, this isn't this is the first time I've had a fall.
D: OK, any numbness or tingling?
P: Uhm, no, not that I can tell, no.
D: Dizziness or fainting spells?
P: Uhm, after the fall out like this, I I don't know if it's due to the pain, but even in the ambulance, coming out of the ambulance I was feeling a little bit dizzy, but I don't know if that's just 'cause of the pain.
D: OK, any headaches?
P: No.
D: Confusion or memory loss?
P: No
D: Uh, joint pains or muscle aches elsewhere?
P: No
D: Weight loss recently?
P: No.
D: Fevers or chills?
P: Nope.
D: Uhm, and rashes?
P: Uh no.
D: Any changes to your vision, hearing, smell or taste?
P: No.
D: Any, uh, you experiencing any cough, uhm, shortness of breath or wheezing?

P: Nope.
D: OK, how about changes to urine?
P: No, nothing.
D: OK. And. Are you otherwise healthy? Do you have any longstanding medical conditions?
P: Yeah, so I just have a, uhm I do have some osteoarthritis and then I have, I take this medication for blood pressure. It's called uh, Ramipril.
D: OK. OK, and is that the only medication that you're on?
P: Uh, yeah. And then I'm just on vitamins like vitamin D, calcium and just multivitamins.
D: OK. And are you up to date with your immunizations?
P: Yes.
D: Yeah, OK. Any allergies?
P: Uh, no, not that I know of.
D: OK. Any family history of lung or heart conditions?
P: Uhm, I think, uh my father, he died of a heart attack in his 60s.
D: OK, OK, any musculoskeletal issues?
P: Uhm, no, I don't think so.
D: No. Uhm, how about autoimmune conditions?
P: No, not that I know of.
D: Any cancers?
P: Uh, I think, my, my mother had some skin cancer, but the ones that, she didn't need any surgery, they just zapped them off.
D: OK. Uhm and do you smoke?
P: No, I've never smoked?
D: OK, uhm, do you drink alcohol?
P: Just maybe like a wine, what every other day, a glass of of wine.
D: OK, and then do you consume marijuana in any form?
P: No.
D: OK. And how about in terms of where you live? Who do you live with and where do you live?
P: I live with uhm, just my husband and and we just live in a small apartment.
D: OK. And have you been in touch with any, anyone sick recently?
P: Uh. No, I've I've been like at home with my husband. We haven't really left.
D: OK. And have you done any travel recently?
P: Uhm, no, I've just stayed at home.
D: OK. Alright, so let's move on to the physical exam part of this interview. So if you can, I'm going to get you to take a look at both your hips as well as your legs. Do you notice any redness or swelling in the area?
P: I do notice some swelling. It's a little bit red. I can't really see too much red.
D: OK. OK. Any muscle atrophy? Any deformities or skin changes like bruises?
P: Uh, maybe some bruising, but I, I don't notice anything else.
D: OK. Alright. And then when you place the back of your hand on both hips, do you notice any temperature changes? Is one side warmer than the other?
P: It's a little bit warmer, the right side than the left.
D: OK, and does one like appear to be shorter? Or does does it appear to be misaligned? Or in any sort of like strange positions like outward turning of your leg, one compared to the other?
P: I think it's a bit, but look at it a bit, like outward turning. And then yeah, I would say it's more outward turns.
D: OK, and if are you sitting down right now?
P: Uh, yeah.
D: OK, are you able to stand up from a sitting position?
P: I can try, but it's very painful.
D: OK.
P: Yes, should I go ahead and try?
D: Yes please.
P: Yeah. So I yeah I can barely stand up. I can't, it's kind of just, I'm just supporting myself with my left like.
D: OK and so I, I guess you can't do any of the like hip flexion or hip extension, hip abduction or addduction, correct?
P: No, I can barely move it.
D: OK alright those are all the questions that I had. Did you have any questions of your own?
P: No, I think I I just don't know if I need surgery or something.
D: Yeah, so it sounds like you have a hip fracture from your fall. Uhm, so, the way to treat this is a combination of surgeries and rehab and medication. So we will definitely look into the surgical option first, which is done using some internal repair with screws. Or, you can do a total hip replacement or a partial hip replacement. The orthopaedic surgeon will uh, decide like which option is best for you after we refer you for a consult with them, and then after that surgery they'll likely refer you to some rehab, so physiotherapy will focus on improving your range of motion and strengthening the muscles in that area. Uhm, and for management of pain, you can take ibuprofen or any over the counter pain medications for now. Does that sound OK?
P: Yeah, that sounds good. Thank you so much.
D: OK, great, no problem.

D: What brings you in today?
P: Uh, yeah, so I, I just came in because I've been having, for the last, I would say 2 weeks, just a lot of congestion in my nose and then I've also been feeling a lot of pressure in my head as well as just, around my jaws and my face overall.
D: Okay, and um, you said it started two weeks ago. Has it gotten better or worse, or been the same since then?
P: Um, I'd say it's pretty much been the same, except like the pressure's getting worse.
D: Okay, and do you find that the pressure is worse when you're bending down, or um, yeah, when you're like squatting or sitting down?
P: Um, when I'm sitting down, I don't think so, but like sometimes I do feel like, for example, when I'm lying on one side, it gets really bad on that one side and I have to kind of switch over to the other side.
D: Okay, alright. And uh, when did your headaches start?
P: Um it's, I guess it's not so much as a headache as just kind of um, just pain in and around the cheeks and just going up to my head. And it started about, I would say around 2 weeks ago.
D: Um, and do you have a stuffy nose?
P: Yeah, I definitely have a stuffy nose and it started, um, it sometimes gets like, like a runny nose as well.
D: Yeah, okay and what's the discharge like?
P: Uh it's usually clear.
D: Okay, and do you have a cough?
P: No, no coughs.
D: Sore throat?
P: No.
D: Um, and do you have any difficulties breathing?
P: Um, no, not that I've noticed. Sometimes when it gets really stuffy, I, uh, have to breathe through my mouth.
D: Yeah, I see. Do you have any difficulty swallowing?
P: Uh, no.
D: Any chest pain or any heart, um, palpitations?
P: Nope.
D: Um, any pain in your belly?
P: Uh nope.
D: Nausea or vomiting?
P: No.
D: Changes in your bowel movement?
P: Nope?
D: Any urinary symptoms?
P: No.
D: Any muscle aches?
P: Nope.
D: Um, any fevers or chills?
P: No, not that I've noticed.
D: Any weight, changes in your weight recently?
P: No, no changes.
D: Any uh, night sweats?
P: Uh, no.
D: Okay. Um, alright so, have you had any contact with anyone who could have been sick in the past two weeks or before that?
P: No, no, I'm very like careful. Um, I barely go out.
D: Good, that's very good. Um are you, have you traveled anywhere outside the province?
P: No.
D: Okay and um, do you currently work?
P: I work from home right now, um, I'm an accountant.
D: Okay and do you live with anyone else, or do you live alone?
P: Uh, so I live with my family. I live with my husband and um two daughters.
D: Have any of them been sick recently?
P: No, they've been fine.
D: Okay, good. Um, and do you smoke?
P: No, not at all.
D: Do you smoke marijuana or consume any recreational drugs?
P: Probably the last time was in college, um for marijuana.
D: I see. Um, what about alcohol?
P: Alcohol, I'll probably have a glass of red wine a day.
D: Alright, okay. And um, have you, do you have any, um I guess carpets or, or um curtains or any sort of animals around, anything that might cause any kind of environmental allergies?
P: Uh no, nothing like that.
D: Okay, um alright. And do you have any medical conditions that you've been diagnosed with?
P: No, I've been completely healthy.
D: Any hospitalizations or surgeries?
P: I did have a, um, c-section with both my, both my children.
D: I see. Any complications after?
P: No complications after. They were both healthy, I, I didn't have to stay in the hospital.
D: Great, great. Um and any allergies uh to medications, foods or environmental allergies?
P: Nope, not that I know of.
D: Any medications, including over the counter herbal medications?
P: I have uh, I do take uh, Tylenol cold in bed sometimes, to relieve some of the pain and pressure.
D: That's good, that's good. Is there anything else that makes the the pressure and the pain better?
P: Um, I have done those like, kind of those steam um, therapies. That sometimes helps.
D: Okay good, good, good. Um, any uh, anything that makes the, that makes it worse? I know that lying on one side, you said, makes things worse for you. Anything else that's made the pressure worse?
P: Um, no, I would say that's, that's about it.
D: Okay, any changes in your sense of smell?
P: Yeah, definitely. Uh when I get really stuff, stuffy, like I don't really smell anything.
D: What about sense of taste?
P: Um taste, I guess, like with the smell gone sometimes like the taste feels weird too, but like not, not really.
D: I see, okay. Um, and any family history of any medical conditions?
P: Um my, my father did have a heart attack in his uh, I think it was late 50s, but he's well and alive right now, so he's fine.
D: Good. Alright, well that's all the questions I had for you given the symptoms that you've shared with me, it sounds like you might have something called um, rhinosinusitis, uh which is basically inflammation of the sinuses and of the uh, of the nasal cavity or the area inside your nose, and uh, often it's just treated with conservative management, so just continue to take um, Tylenol if that seems to help you, and do the steam therapy. It will take time to get better, um, but if you feel that it's um, it's not getting better in the next week or so, give us a call again and we can maybe see if it's a bacterial infection and see if um, if antibiotics might be needed but oftentimes it's usually a viral infection, and antibiotics are not needed, and sort of just resting and taking care of yourself, um, and trying to manage the symptoms that way can help. Um, but also check your temperature here to see if you have any fevers and uh, go from there. We'll also, I guess, we'll also do a COVID swab because your symptoms do overlap with some of those symptoms. Um, and we'd recommend that you quarantine until at least uh swabs, swab results are out and then public health will let you know what to do.
P: Okay.
D: Do you have any questions for me?
P: Uh no, that's all. Thank you so much.
D: You're welcome.

D: What brings you in?
P: Hi, I was just really worried. My son just yesterday night I noticed that he was making these grunting noises and I did notice that he was a bit warm yesterday as well, and today I, he just hasn't been himself, just very, very irritable, crying a lot. Yeah, I just got bit worried.
D: Yeah, for sure. What started first?
P: I would say the there was a little bit of coughing earlier, like yesterday. But then later on during the night, it kind of turned into this grunting noise, and he's kind of like his chest is moving a lot more when he's taking a breath in and all that.
D: OK. Uhm did you measure his temperature at home?
P: Yeah, so I think it was 38.5 degrees Celsius.
D: OK, and did you do that orally or rectal or under armpit?
P: I did it under the armpit.
D: OK. OK, uhm so you mentioned that he's had a fever, he's been grunting and he just seems a little bit more fussy. Is that right?
P: Yeah.
D: OK is he coughing at all?
P: He was yesterday but not really now.
D: OK and was it a dry cough?
P: I think so. I mean, not-nothing really came out.
D: OK, that's good. So no blood, no sputum?
P: No.
D: OK, and did he seem wheezy?
P: Uh, no.
D: No, OK. So there's no wheezing with the grunting?
P: Maybe a little bit like that, just a little bit of a noise, but it's mostly the grunting.
D: OK. Has he had any weight loss?
P: No, not that I really, we haven't really weighed him now since his last appointment.
D: OK. Does he seem excessively tired or fatigued?
P: Uhm, moreso today I would say he's like earlier, he was very fussy, but now he seems a bit more tired.
D: OK. Any rashes that you've noticed?
P: No.
D: No, OK. Uhm any changes in his vision or hearing?
P: Uh, no, not that I can tell.
D: No, OK. So he's responding to like sounds and he's still looking at you and things like that?
P: Yeah.
D: OK. Have you noticed a runny nose or stuffy nose?
P: Uhm, no, nothing like that.
D: No, OK. And he said he hasn't had any like fainting spells?
P: Uh, no, I don't think so.
D: No, OK. And how many wet diapers is he producing in a day now?
P: Probably 5 or 6.
D: 5 or 6 OK. Has that changed from before?
P: No, it's pretty much the same.
D: OK, and uhm any changes to his bowel movements?
P: No.
D: No. How about his urine?
P: No.
D: No, OK. OK. And then you said he was fussy, is he still eating and drinking OK?
P: Uh no, today he's not really taking anything in, like very fussy, very hard to feed him today.
D: OK, is he crying a lot?
P: Earlier today was crying a lot, but now has calm down and just I guess tired himself out.
D: Yeah, OK. Alright, and is he an otherwise healthy child?
P: Yeah he was, he was premature by three weeks so, Other than that like I remember when he was born they did have earlier some issues with his oxygen not being high enough and they had to like keeping, keep us in the hospital for a bit longer.
D: OK.
P: But yeah, after that, like there haven't really been too many concerns.
D: OK, so he's hitting all the developmental milestones like in terms of motor movements, ah speech, behaviour, all of that?
P: Yeah, no issues there so far.
D: OK, and how about medications? Is he on any?
P: No.
D: No medications, OK. And is up to date with all his immunizations?
P: Yeah, oh he had all his immunizations so far.
D: OK. How about allergies? Does he have any?
P: Not that I know of.
D: No, OK. Any family history of lung or heart conditions?
P: No.
D: OK, and does anyone at home smoke?
P: No, no one smokes.
D: OK. Has he been in contact with anyone sick recently?
P: Uh, no, not that I know of. Uhm his older sister does go to school though, but I don't know if she might have carried something home.
D: OK, how old is she?
P: She's six years old.
D: Six, OK. And is she healthy or is she having similar symptoms?
P: No, she's healthy. No, no symptoms.
D: OK. Any travel recently?
P: No.
D: No, OK. And who does he live with at home?
P: Uh, so his older sister, me and his mother.
D: OK, any reasons to believe like you have old carpets, dust, mold, asbestos, pets, anything like that that could worsen his symptoms?
P: Uh, no nothing like that.
D: OK, so I think those are all the questions that I had for you. Did you have any questions or any concerns? Anything that I missed that you wanted to add?
P: No, I think that was all.
D: OK, uhm so for him we'll do a Covid swab just to rule that out because some of his symptoms do overlap with that. But it it's really sounding like a picture of like community acquired pneumonia, so we'll do a couple of things for him. Uhm, we can get his temperature, get his oxygen oxygen saturation right away we'll get a chest x-ray. We'll do some blood work as well and uhm, he might need to be admitted depending on uhm, the oxygen, oxygen saturation and the fact that he's grunting. So if he's admitted will give him some extra oxygen and keep monitoring him and keep him hydrated. Uhm we'll also give him some antibiotics if, if it turns out he has pneumonia. Yeah, does that sound OK?
P: That sounds good. Thank you.
D: OK yeah, no worries.

Anything else you'd like to bring up with them before I go?
P: I don't think so, I just like I like I hope I just can feel better 'cause I've been missing like my exercise stuff 'cause I feel like it's just like coughing and it makes it hard to like do well.
D: Got it, got it. We'll see what we can do. OK, thank you very much.

P: So I live with my husband as well as our, uh, our daughter. She's 4.

D: Uh, no, I don't. OK, how about alcohol?
P: I'll have a glass of wine sometimes, but very rarely.
D: OK. Um yeah, so those are just some of the questions I had for you now. I just wanted to ask a few questions regarding just physically examining the joints that hurt. So when you look at those joints, do you notice any kind of swelling, redness, or when you feel any warmth to them?
P: Yes I yeah I do. I feel swelling, warmth and redness.
D: OK, and do you notice any kind of deformities, for example like you're not able to bend your finger or any kind of deformities that you didn't see before? Or, like, for example, your wrist is turned uh, outwards a little bit. Anything like that?
P: Uh, no, nothing like that, no deformity.
D: No deformities. OK, when you go over your joints, do you notice any kind of like nodules or harder materials that don't seem to be your bones?
P: Not really, no. No, I don't notice anything like that. They just share a bit larger from the swelling it feels like.
D: OK, I see. Are you able to make a fist with both both hands?
P: Not completely, I can close my hands part of the way, but I can't make a full fist.
D: I see. OK and are you able to completely extend your fingers and show your palms?
P: Yeah I can do. I can do that.
D: OK. And are you able to walk without a limp or anything like that?
P: Um, yes I can.
D: OK. Alright, so those are just all the questions I had for you today. Do you have any questions or concerns?
P: Um no, I'm just wondering what what this could be.
D: Yeah, so from what you're describing to me you do fit into. The age range and all the symptoms are kind of point towards arthritis, and in this case it sounds more like rheumatoid arthritis. Ddefinitely it can be different types of arthritis that we will investigate just in case as well. But given that it's symmetrical, you have the morning stiffness that doesn't go away for more than 30 minutes and just the pattern of where those where the stiffness and pain is occurring itt sounds more likely to be rheumatoid arthritis, especially since you've also, you also have another autoimmune condition with hypothyroidism, it's more likely to be another autoimmune condition. So what we will do is get a few tests done. This will involve some blood work as well. And we will also get some imaging done, so we will get like the CRP and ESR for inflammatory markers we will get like your full CBC blood count we will get rheumatoid factor test done as well as antinuclear antibody and a lot of other different just markers to rule out anything else besides rheumatoid arthritis and then we will also get just X-Rays of your hands and feet as well. So does that sound good?
P: It does, yeah, thank you.
D: You're welcome. And then if it does come out to be rheumatoid arthritis arthritis, which seems likely, you will need a referral to a rheumatologist to manage and treat your, uh, treat you with medications.
D: OK, thank you alright, you're welcome. Take care.

D: And changes in your bowel movement? Any pain in your belly?
P: No.
D: Any urinary symptoms?
P: No.
D: Any um, any pain in your legs?
P: Um, I did notice last, last night and for the last few days that my right calf like, just feels um, painful and it seems a bit more swollen.
D: Um, was there anything that you were doing a couple of days ago? Any, say, any flights or periods um, where you might be sitting still or lying still for awhile? Any surgeries, anything like that?
P: I was, I was just discharged from the hospital um, last week after a hip surgery.
D: Um, okay. Were you moving around at home after the hip surgery?

P: Yes, I have uh, high blood pressure, and um, I also have this thing like, like varicose veins.
D: Um, do you take any medications?
P: I, I take this medication called um, lisinopril.
D: And any new medications that were started after your hospital stay?
P: Um, no, they gave me like some pain medications I seem to, uh, um I got hydromorphone medication. I've been trying to stay away from it though, just taking Tylenol instead.
D: Is your pain controlled well with Tylenol?
P: Yeah, I tried to suck it up. I just don't wanna go on those other medications. I've heard like, you can get addicted to them.
D: Yeah, that's fair, that's a fair point. But it's also, I guess it's important that you move around at home. Um, so maybe try to, maybe we can increase your Tylenol dose, or maybe um, see if there's another pain med that you can be started on if you're not interested in opioids, just to make sure that you're moving around 'cause that's very important. At the hospital, did you receive an injection in your, in your tummy.
P: An injection in my tummy, um.

P: Probably smoked for, probably, 15, 15 years, probably like, like half a pack a day.
D: Alright um, and do you consume any marijuana or any recreational drugs?
P: No.
D: Okay, alright. Well given your symptoms, um, with the, with the swelling and the pain in the right calf and the difficulties breathing, it's very likely that you have um, and your recent hospitalization and hip injury, um it sounds like you might have something called, or pulmonary embolism, basically, which is a blood clot inside your lungs, and so we'll do a scan of your lungs to see what's going on. We'll also do an ultrasound of your leg, and then um, we might have to treat, uh, this with blood thinners. And we definitely have to hospitalize you, and we'll be measuring your vitals and seeing if you need any oxygen to help you out.
P: Okay, I'll be, I'll be here for a while then?
D: Well, we'll keep you for a bit, at least the next couple of days until your, your breathing gets better. And you've, you've been started on anti, on blood thinners.
P: Okay.
D: And we can be sure that you're, you're doing okay, we'll also continuously monitor your vital signs um, to make sure that you're doing well, and then we'll make sure that you're discharged. We will also get you some physiotherapy here while in the hospital to help you um, mobilize better when you get home. Um, and we'll also do a COVID swab just in case. Did you have any exposures to anyone in the past couple of days before you came, at home, after you came home?

P: Uh no, not really. Just wanted to know if, like I remember he did need antibiotics before so I was just wondering if he needs them now.
D: Yeah, um so, well first, because some of his symptoms overlap with Covid, like the fever especially, we'll do a swab on him anyways um and you should hear those results in about 24 to 48 hours. Um and then it, this picture sounds like acute otitis media, so like an ear infection. And um it's especially likely because he's had them in the past, so I'm gonna have to take a look into his ears first before like um coming up with a management plan. But I'll kind of walk you through what we look at. So if I take a look and I see like a perforated tympanic membrane with like pus, we'd prescribe like 10 days of um antibiotics. If he has some like middle ear effusion, so like some fluids with like a bulging tympanic membrane and he appears to be really ill, uh which from the sounds of it, he sounds ill, he's had this fever for more than two days, we'll also prescribe antibiotics for 10 days. And then, if it's just some middle ear effusion, so just that clear fluid um or just the bulging tympanic membrane, we can just um reassess him in 24 to 48 hours to see how he's doing. And if he's worse, again, we'll prescribing prescribe him some antibiotics. Um the antibiotics that we usually prescribe are amoxicillin, and because he doesn't have a penicillin allergy, that should work.
P: OK.
D: Yeah, how does that sound?
P: That sounds good. Thank you so much.
D: OK, great, thank you.

P: Uh, no headaches.
D: Any uh, stuffy nose or runny nose?
P: Uh no, nothing like that.
D: No um, sinus congestion?
P: Uh no.
D: Okay, what about uh, cough?
P: Um, no, not, not, no cough really. I've also noticed, also like the back of my throat, when I look in the mirror, is like just very red and like angry looking.
D: And um, any difficulties breathing?
P: No.
D: Any um, pain in your chest?
P: No.
D: Um, do you feel like your heart is racing?
P: No, nothing like that.
D: Any changes in your bowel movements, or your urinary, or any urinary concerns?
P: Uh, no.
D: No belly pain or muscle aches?
P: Uh no, nothing like that.
D: Alright, um, so uh, are you um, do you have any medical conditions that you've been diagnosed with?
P: No, I've been pretty healthy all my life.
D: Any medications that you've been on?
P: Uh no.
D: Any allergies?
P: No allergies.
D: Okay, and um, any medical conditions that run in the family?
P: Um, I think um, my mom has diabetes, but that's about it.
D: Okay. And um, who do you currently live with? Or do you live alone?
P: I live with uh, my mom.
D: Anyone else at the house?
P: No, it's just us two.
D: Alright, um, and any um, recent exposures to anyone who might be sick.
P: Um my, my boyfriend, he kind of had similar symptoms, I would say a few weeks ago.
D: Um, and um, did he, did he get um, did he see a doctor?
P: No, he didn't want to go to the doctor, and it kind of just resolved, like he, it went away on its own.
D: Okay, alright. Um, and do you um, do you drink?
P: Just on the weekends maybe, uh, some wine.
D: And what about um, marijuana?

P: Yeah, I've been having all my immunizations. Uh, I also feel like, so with a sore throat, I also have some um, pain on the sides, like on my, on my neck. Like I almost feel like some lumps on both sides.
D: Oh, I see, I see. Okay, okay. Um, so I guess I, at this point I would like to maybe have it, examine you, just have a look inside your throat, maybe feel your neck for those lumps, and uh, then decide what to do from there. Um, given your symptoms, um, this could be a viral infection, or um, it could be a bacterial infection caused by um, bacteria called, or I guess, strep, strep throat. It could also be uh, mono. Um, but I'll uh, I'll have a look, we'll do the rapid strep test and uh, based on those results, we'll decide what to do. If it is strep, you might require antibiotics. If not, if it's mono and if we can do maybe a blood test for that, you might have to um, not engage in, in physical activity um, or exercise, vigorous activity, or like sports for the next couple of weeks or months as, as that can be, uh, as that can cause problems if you get hit in the, in your belly. It could cause your spleen to rupture and sometimes your spleen become very big if you do have mono, but we'll discuss all of that a little bit more after we do uh, the strep test. We'll also check your temperature, um, and see um, how you're doing. Have you been taking anything to help yourself, to help soothe your sore throat?
P: Um, just some lozenges.
D: Yeah, so just continue uh, just drinking water and taking lozenges just to um, provide some comfort for yourself, and we'll do the test, then we can chat a bit more after.
P: Okay, sounds good, thank you so much.

D: OK. Alright, yeah, so those are all the questions I had. Do you have any questions for me?
P: Um no, like what what do you think I have and how should I treat it?
D: Yeah, so definitely one thing we need to rule out with the shortness of breath is any viral or viral infection like coronavirus so we will get a test done for you today. However, since this seems to be kind of a chronic issue, been going on for a few months and you're having with the shortness of breath, some other symptoms, the rash below knees, or is what we called erythema nodosum and irritation in your eyes and you have a family history
of auto immune conditions as well. So sometimes you can get an auto immune disease that affects the lungs, so we need to rule out something like sarcoidosis which can cause fibrosis in your lungs and cause shortness of breath. So just to work that up will get a chest X Ray and also do some inflammatory marker tests like CRP, ESR and some other rheumatological tests as well, and based on what comes back we may have to refer you to a rheumatologist for further management and treatment. Yeah, so let's just do some of those tests 1st, and then we'll go from there. You have any questions?
P: No, that sounds great. Thank you so much.
D: You're welcome, and you may need depending on what we find, steroid treatment today or until you see the rheumatologist.
P: OK.
D: Alright, take care.
P: You too.

D: Well, it's really great that you're, you know, trying to lose weight and dieting and and having like a healthier lifestyle. It is definitely harder with the pandemic going on right now to to get in the activities. And it's hard like being at home, and sometimes it's really difficult to like not eat right
P: Yeah yeah true.
D: So besides besides that any kind of recent exposures to any fumes, dust, animals, pets like anything like that?
P: Yeah, it was kind of like vacuuming a couple of days ago when it got really bad, but nothing. Not not. I don't think there's not been any other exposures.
D: OK. And do you have any past medical conditions that you have been diagnosed with like asthma, eczema, anything like that?
P: I haven't been diagnosed with anything. No. I did have like I know that I would sometimes get kind of short of breath as a child. But my mom doesn't really trust doctors, so she wouldn't take me to one.
D: OK, have you had shortness of breath after that, like when like as a child, how old were you?
P: I must have been like 8 years old or 9 years old that I remember, but I think I've had it before that as well as my mom tells me.
D: Oh OK, do you have that at all now?
P: No, no, I don't.
D: OK, OK Have you ever seen an allergist before?
P: No, no.
D: No OK. Do you have any known allergies to any medications? Yeah any medication?
P: no
D: no. Do you take any medications at all on a regular basis?
P: No.
D: No, OK. Have you been hospitalized or had any surgeries in the past?
P: No.
D: Any family history of any asthma, eczema, allergic rhinitis. Anything like that?
P: Yeah, I think it kind of runs in my family like everyone in my family is just kind of always having this runny nose and sneezing. My mom has it. My younger brother has it. But like we haven't really been diagnosed with anything like we, we rarely go to the doctor.
D: OK, OK, and currently right now, do you work at all? Or sorry, do you go to school?
P: I do I do. I've been doing it virtually.
D: Virtually OK, so have you noticed anyone sick around you?
P: No.
D: No OK. And what at home? What's your living situation like? Who do you live with?
P: I live with my mom, dad and my younger brother.
D: And, yeah, I just want to let you know that any questions I ask you today and anything we talked about it's completely confidential and unless like there is any potential harm to yourself or anyone anyone else. So yeah, I'm just gonna ask you a few questions. Do you feel safe at home?
P: Oh yeah.
D: OK, and do you drink alcohol at all? Or have you tried alcohol?
P: No, not at all.
D: Have you tried any recreational drugs like marijuana?
P: No. No.
D: How about smoking?
P: Umm no
D: no OK, and are you sexually active?
P: No.
D: No OK. And so overall, do you feel safe in your home and as well as outside of your home environment? Any kind of bullying or anything like that going on?
P: No, not at all.
D: OK, alright. Yeah, so those are kind of all the questions that I had for you. Sorry just one more question, any loss of sense of taste or smell?
P: Yeah, it's hard to smell and my nose is stuffy, but no loss of taste.
D: Yeah, OK. OK, so do you have any questions at all for me?
P: No, I just I I just wanna get some medications to help with this. I'm just sick and tired of my runny nose.
D: Yeah, it must be very frustrating. So you've tried Reactin before, right?
P: yeah
D: Yeah, so one method is to definitely like stay away from some of those allergens that are potentially causing your symptoms. But I I do really think so you might have something called like allergic rhinitis. And I think it might be beneficial to for you to see like an allergist
P: sure.
D: And so I can refer you to someone as well. Just have a sense of what kind of things allergic to you and like what medications you would require. In the meantime, definitely like any antihistamine medications would help with your symptoms. But since you're also having congestion and sneezing, just just in case, we will just do a COVID swab test for you today. And it takes around 24 to 48 hours to come back. And in the meantime, you should just isolate as much as you can in your own home. And then based on the result they would give you more instruction.
P: Sure
D: Alright. Thank you, take care.

P: Um, No. nothing like that, um no.
D: Yeah, OK. How about cancers?

P: Yeah, I live with my parents and my younger sister. She's 12.
D: She's 12, Is she healthy?
P: Yeah she is.

P: Um no we've been, we've been at home.
D: OK, OK, Um, and do you smoke?
P: No, I don't smoke.
D: No, How about marijuana?

D: OK, And how about alcohol?
P: No, no alcohol.
D: No alcohol. OK, are you sexually active?
P: No, I'm not.
D: No, OK um. Is there a possibility that? Or actually sorry I should rephrase that. Have you kissed anyone recently?
P: Um I. Well, I I guess I kinda have a girlfriend now. Um that we, that I started hanging out with about two months ago.
D: OK, OK.
P: And so I guess yes.
D: OK, alright, well that's good. Um have, has she had any of these symptoms?
P: Uh, well she she was, wasn't feeling well for awhile back, but, I don't think it was this bad for her.
D: OK. Actually, and she's better now?
P: Yeah, she's better now.

D: Yeah for sure. And are you and your girlfriend in an exclusive relationship?
P: Uh. I I think so yeah.
D: OK, I ask because there's something called what you may be familiar with um it's called the kissing disease. In medical terminology, it's called mono, as caused by a virus called EBV, and so it could be that so we're covering all our bases.
P: Oh, I've heard of mono before.
D: Yeah,
P: OK.
D: It's it's likely it could be up there in terms of what you have, so I think those were all the questions I had for you. Did you have any questions for me? Anything you wanted to add?
P: Um, no, I think that's you covered everything.
D: OK alright so I will will go off a few, we'll try to cover our basis and get you tested for mono which I would have to do like a monospot test and we can do rapid strep test as well to see if he has something called strep throat. But yeah, we'll see what those results come back as. And we'll go from there. Does that sound good?
P: Yeah, no, that sounds good.
D: OK, thank you.

P: I have stopped going to work though like, just in case.
D: OK, good and have you traveled to anywhere recently?
P: No, we've been pretty homebound.
D: Pretty homebound, OK, alright, well that's good and those are all the questions that I had for you. Did you have any questions for myself?
P: Yeah, I don't know, what do you think is causing all of this?
D: Yeah, it sounds like you have some sort of infection, so the first thing we need to rule out is covid, of course. So we'll do a swab and those swabs should come back to you in about 24 to 48 hours and until then, it's important that you do isolate and you isolate for 14 days at least, and that includes from other people at home. And if those swabs come back negative, you could possibly have like, another infection. But if your symptoms worsen, like you start getting neurological deficits like weakness or seizures or anything like that, you should come back to the ER and we'll get that checked out. And, so that's where we'll start for now, because your presentation is acute, we think it's likely infection related.
P: OK, that sounds good to me and should I be staying in my own room or anything like that at home?
D: Yeah, if you can like, it's recommended that you try to isolate in your own room for the next 14 days because your symptoms do overlap with that of covid, yeah.
P: OK, sounds good.Thank you.
D: Yeah, no worries, take care.
P: Thank you.

D: OK. Alright, is there any other questions or concerns that you had for us today?
P: No.
D: OK. So yeah, based on what we discussed today, it seems that you may have an upper respiratory tract infection. The other things on differential would be a COPD exacerbation due to your significant smoking history. So we will do some investigations ti figure out what this is, and then perhaps can give you antibiotics or other medications to help you, unless it's a viral infection.
