Application: Read the following documentation and answer the questions. You are the medical transcriptionist working for Dr. Susan Lee, a primary care physician at the Fulwood Medical Center. Because of the nature of her practice, many of Dr. Lee’s patients need referrals to specialists for specific treatment Dr. Lee cannot provide. Dr. Lee needs to refer Mrs. Sandra Jacobs to Dr. Walsh for possible removal of her gallstones. Dear Dr. Walsh: I am referring my patient, Mrs. Sandra Jacobs, a 46-year-old mother of four who presented to the Primary Care Clinic this morning with episodes of crampy pain in her right upper quadrant associated with nausea and vomiting. The pain often occurs after eating fast food. She denies pyrexia or jaundice. She also had a positive Murphy’s sign and slight pedal edema. I have made a provisional diagnosis of gallstones, and ordered an ultrasound examination to confirm this. The patient is to call your office for an appointment for a surgical consult and will bring her ultrasound film and report with her. I have explained to her the etiology of her stones, the need for surgical removal of the stones, and discussed with her a low-fat, 1500 calorie diet. Thank you for seeing this patient. Please keep me informed of her plan of treatment.
