S: She has a pulse of 84. Blood pressure is 120/80. She is here for an acute visit today complaining about a recurrent rash on her right buttock. A few days ago Heidi felt a tingling sensation in her upper right buttock and today noticed that she had developed some small vesicles. It is in a well-circumscribed area, in an area where she had lesions previously. She had cultures done back in May, on May 10th. It occurred first in January of this year. She had light growth of coagulase-negative staphylococcus and that was all on her last bacterial culture. She has had multiple sex partners in her life. She has, she believes, been tested for herpes in the past and was negative. She has been monogamous with her current partner for quite some time now. She is trying to conceive a child and has been sexually active lately and is worried about giving this to her husband.

Note Report Sample #3

Blood pressure is 110/68. She has met a new friend and is enjoying his company. He is also helping out with things around the house and she appreciates that very much. She has gone to the graduation of her daughter from high school and her son from middle school. Their father came to the son’s ceremony but not his daughter’s, which was her graduation from high school. This had a huge impact on the family. Her son has actually bitten Daniel again and fortunately did not draw blood this time, but they are definitely having difficulties. She is trying to eat more but finding it difficult. Her back is really bothering her. She has had physical therapy but really has not noted any real improvement thus far. She was suggested to try Pilates, which she is doing daily. The pain is worse after working for several days and, although she had the injury on the left, it radiates all the way through to the right. At the end of the week, she has difficulty even walking around in the mall. She takes Naprosyn and Prilosec for her pain. She notes a slight improvement. She has no bowel or bladder symptoms but the pain radiates into her posterior thigh and makes her knee joint feel unstable. |

The patient presents complaining of bilateral knee pain. She is known to have degenerative disc disease with osteoarthritis of the knees.
On examination, both knees are tender, minimally swollen and warm. Straight leg raising test is negative. The sensory examination of the back is unremarkable and the back is nontender.
Under ultrasound guidance I did first the right and then the left knee injections, each with 20 mg of Kenalog and a cc of lidocaine. A total of 40 mg of Kenalog were used and two ultrasonographic images were recorded of each procedure.
DIAGNOSIS: Osteoarthritis of the knees, synovitis, and degenerative disc disease of the back. Routine visit.
