Section: GENHX
Patient Information: Ms. XYZ is an otherwise fairly healthy 44-year-old right-handed aircraft mechanic.  On her date of injury, she reports that she was working on an aircraft when she fell between the airplane and a stand with about an 18-inch gap in between.  She injured her left knee and underwent two arthroscopic procedures followed by patellar replacement and subsequently a left total knee arthroplasty in Month DD, YYYY. The patient is seen with no outside images, but an MRI report of the left knee and office notes from Dr. ABCD. The patient reports that she has undergone a full course of physical therapy and complains primarily of pain in the anterior aspect of the left knee and primarily over the medial and lateral tibial components with pain extending proximally to the distal femur and distally down into the anterior tibial plateau area.  She has intermittent numbness and tingling in the posterolateral thigh and no symptoms at all into her feet.  She has axial low back pain as an ancillary symptom.  Her pain is worse with walking and is associated with swelling, popping and grinding.  She complains of pins and needles sensation over the area of the common peroneal nerve overlying the fibular head.  She has no dysesthetic or allodynic symptoms with light touch over the remainder of the knee and the femoral nerve area.  Heavy pressure and light percussion of the fibular head produce painful numbness, tingling, and pins and needles sensation. The patient underwent a left knee MRI in September of 2006 revealing nonspecific edema anterior to the patellar tendon, but no evidence of an acute fracture or a femoropatellar ligament avulsion or abnormality.  She has continued to complain of persistent instability and pain.  She is not working.  She has a number of allergies to different pain medications and feels that her back has been bothersome mostly due to her gait disturbances relating to her knee.  Her pain is described as constant, shooting, cramping, aching, throbbing, pulling, sharp, and stabbing in nature.  It occasionally awakens her at night.  It is better in recumbency with her leg elevated.   Exacerbating factors include standing, walking, pushing, puling.  VAS pain scale is rated as 6/10 for her average and current pain, 10/10 for worst pain, and 3/10 for her least pain.

Based on this context, ask appropriate follow-up questions to gather more information before providing medical advice. Use the questioning patterns that doctors typically employ.

user: Yes, I had to change my walking pattern to take weight off my knee, and I think that has to do with my back pain.

assistant: That's certainly a possibility. How would you describe your pain?

user: I'd say its constant, shooting, cramping, aching, throbbing, feels like it's being pulled, sharp, and , um, stabbing. All of those words seem fitting.

assistant: Okay, does the pain wake you up at night?

Section: GENHX
Patient Information: The patient is to come to the hospital for bilateral L5 kyphoplasty.  The patient is an 86-year-old female with an L5 compression fracture. The patient has a history of back and buttock pain for some time.  She was found to have an L5 compression fracture.  She was treated conservatively over several months, but did not improve.  Unfortunately, she has continued to have significant ongoing back pain and recent CT scan has shown a sclerosis with some healing of her L5 compression fracture, but without complete healing.  The patient has had continued pain and at this time, is felt to be a candidate for kyphoplasty. She denies bowel or bladder incontinence.  She does complain of back pain.  She has been wearing a back brace and corset.  She does not have weakness.

Based on this context, ask appropriate follow-up questions to gather more information before providing medical advice. Use the questioning patterns that doctors typically employ.

assistant: How old are you?

user: I'm eighty six years old.

assistant: What gender do you identify with?

user: I identify as a female.

assistant: How long have you had this back and buttock pain?

user: Its been a while, now. I know I have a fracture in my lower back.

assistant: How have you been managing this?

user: Another doctor called this conservative treatment. I've been resting a lot, and using antiinflammatories.

assistant: Has there been any improvement?

user: Its been several months at this point, and honestly no, there's been no improvement. I'm still in a lot of pain.

assistant: This C T Scan you had recently shows sclerosis, with some healing of a L five compression fracture, but if you look here, the healing is not complete.

user: What can we do about this? I'm in so much pain.

assistant: I believe you'd be a candidate for a bilateral L five kyphoplasty.

user: What's that?

assistant: It's a small procedure on that L five vertebra. Its minimally invasive, and we can actually do it as an outpatient procedure.

user: Oh, wow, that's good to hear. What are the risks of infection?

assistant: Very low, historically, they're less than one percent.

user: How is this possible?

assistant: We'll use antibiotics in order to control for infection.

user: That's great, will I be under anesthesia?

assistant: Yes, you'll be asleep for the whole thing.

user: Great, yes, I'd like to have this done, I can't keep living in this pain.

assistant: Awesome, I agree. Do you have control over your bladder and bowel movements?

user: Yes, thankfully, I have complete control over everything like that still.

assistant: Do you wear a brace or corset normally?

user: Yes, I usually wear both.

assistant: Okay, last question, can you notice any weakness in your body?
