I mean, what additional info do you need, Doctor? It state very clearly the unspecified diagnosis comes from the patient’s father’s side of the family. If you can’t figure out how to treat this patient for their unspecified diagnosis, then I have to question your qualifications. ;)
Where I work, the family history is usually jumbled in with the patient's current chief complaints and past medical history, so I never know when I'm writing the pharmacist note and it appears that there's someone's diagnosis for Type 1 diabetes mellitus whether I should be looking for a history of a prescription for any antidiabetic medications, and when I should look for drug history of latanoprost eye drops if there's a family history of glaucoma.
This blog is entirely for entertainment purposes. All posts about patients, or my everyday life, or anything else may be fictional, or be my experience, or were submitted by a reader, or any combination of the above. Factual statements may or may not be accurate. I could be making all this up. I may not even be a doctor. The only true statement on here is that I probably drink more Diet Coke than you do. A lot more.

I mean, my mom always said my long-incarcerated father was a sick man, but she never said why.
