	Hi Dr. Douglas, My name is Danielle. I will be your provider today	Greet 03/25/20 12:48 AM CDT
	Hello.
	What is the reason for your visit today?	Question 03/25/20 12:48 AM CDT
	I’m here because I’ve got an awful cough, a fever, and my chest feels like I’ve been kicked by a horse. I’m sure this is some kind of upper respiratory infection. I was hoping it would go away on its own, but it hasn’t, so my husband Jeffrey convinced me to come in. As amusing as it is for Jeffrey to serve me my meals, this has gone on long enough. I need to feel better.
	I’m sorry to hear that you are so uncomfortable with your symptoms. Your frequent cough sounds like it’s aggravating your already uncomfortable chest pain. You have done a great job toughing it out so far, and we’ll find a treatment plan to help you feel better.	Empathize 03/25/20 12:52 AM CDT
	Thank you.
	When did your symptoms start?	Question 03/25/20 12:53 AM CDT
	Most of my symptoms started three days ago. I developed this nasty cough, and my nose has been all stuffed up. That’s also when the chest pain started, and when I began to feel exhausted. The fever set in last night. That was the last straw, so Jeffrey brought me in.
	How often do the symptoms occur?	Question 03/25/20 12:54 AM CDT
	Most of my symptoms — the hacking cough, chest pain, fatigue, achiness, stuffy nose — started three days ago. The fever started yesterday. None of it has let up since. Anita Douglas Community-Acquired Pneumonia shadow health transcript.
	Where is your pain?	Question 03/25/20 12:54 AM CDT
	Most of the chest pain is located in the lower right part of my chest. Aside from that, I have some general aches and muscle soreness; this is mostly a deep, dull sort of ache, but it feels more severe when I cough.
	I’m sorry to hear that you’re in constant pain and that your cough makes your pain worse. I will work on finding a therapy that will give you some relief.	Empathize 03/25/20 12:56 AM CDT
	I appreciate your saying that.
	Are you coughing up any mucous?	Question 03/25/20 12:58 AM CDT
	I’m coughing up rust-colored sputum.
	Are there any factors that make your symptoms worse? (Clarified to Does anything make your symptoms worse?.)	Question 03/25/20 12:59 AM CDT
	Coughing makes this chest pain much worse. Deep breathing also seems to aggravate it or talking too much. I also can’t move around too much . . . I’ve been staying in bed because any kind of activity makes my pain worse and leaves me exhausted. (Clarified to if anything makes my symptoms worse.)
	What helps relieve your symptoms?	Question 03/25/20 1:00 AM CDT
	Rest has helped me feel a little better. Exerting myself in any way just makes me feel worse. Jeffrey has also been bringing me hot tea and soup. We’ve also kept my humidifier going. Other than that, I tried taking aspirin to help with my fever and chest pain, but that didn’t give me much relief.
	how bad is the pain?	Question 03/25/20 1:00 AM CDT
	I think that this cough is pretty severe. It brings my chest pain up from a 2 out of 10 to a 5 out of 10.
	sorry to hear that	Empathize 03/25/20 1:01 AM CDT
	Well, that’s very nice.
	Let’s talk about your past medical history (Clarified to What is your past medical history?.)	Question 03/25/20 1:01 AM CDT

	I was diagnosed with stage 2 chronic kidney disease 9 years ago when I had some blood work done for my hypertension. I don’t know how long I had it before that, but I was diagnosed with hypertension 14 years ago, so it could have been a long time. (Clarified to how long I have had my preexisting health problems.)

	No, I don’t have allergies.
	Are you up to date on vaccines?	Question 03/25/20 1:04 AM CDT
	Let me think . . . I had a flu shot about three months ago. Other than that, it’s been quite a while since I’ve needed any vaccines. I had a pneumococcal vaccine 12 years ago.
	You are due for a pneumococcal vaccine, which you should receive again in your adulthood five to ten years after your first shot. These vaccines protect against the bacteria that most commonly cause pneumonia.	Educate 03/25/20 1:07 AM CDT

	I have taken chlorothiazide for 14 years.
	whats is the dosage of your medications?	Question 03/25/20 1:11 AM CDT

	what have you taken any antibiotics? (Clarified to Have you taken antibiotics recently?.)	Question 03/25/20 1:13 AM CDT

We normally eat a very light lunch — a sandwich, or some homemade soup — and for dinner, we like to go out to eat a few times a week. Normally we get pasta or a salad.
	For people with hypertension and with chronic kidney disease, some foods are healthier and safer than others. It’s important to consider how your health will be affected when making everyday meal choices.	Empathize 03/25/20 1:18 AM CDT
	That’s kind of you to say.

	does the aspirin relieve your pain	Question 03/25/20 1:22 AM CDT
	It has done a little good, I suppose, both for my chest pain and my fever . . . I suppose it’s hard to tell, though, because I’ve been taking it since my symptoms started, so I haven’t really felt how bad my symptoms are sans aspirin. [AUDIO COMING SOON]
	While it’s great that the aspirin has relieved your symptoms, it is not approved for older adults nor for people taking some of your medications. Always ask a healthcare provider before starting a new medication.	Educate 03/25/20 1:24 AM CDT
