Your avatarHi Dr. Douglas, My name is Danielle. I will be your provider todayGreet 03/25/20 12:48 AM CDT
Anita DouglasHello. 
Your avatarWhat is the reason for you visit today?Question 03/25/20 12:48 AM CDT
Anita DouglasI’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.(Anita Douglas Community-Acquired Pneumonia) 
Your avatarI’m sorry to hear that you are so uncomfortable from 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.(Anita Douglas Community-Acquired Pneumonia)Empathize 03/25/20 12:52 AM CDT
Anita DouglasThank you. 
Your avatarWhen did your symptoms start?Question 03/25/20 12:53 AM CDT
Anita DouglasMost 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.(Anita Douglas Community-Acquired Pneumonia) 
Your avatarHow often do the symptoms occur?Question 03/25/20 12:54 AM CDT
Anita DouglasMost 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) 
Your avatarWhere is your pain?Question 03/25/20 12:54 AM CDT
Anita DouglasMost 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.(Anita Douglas Community-Acquired Pneumonia) 
Your avatarI’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.(Anita Douglas Community-Acquired Pneumonia)Empathize 03/25/20 12:56 AM CDT
Anita DouglasI appreciate your saying that. 
Your avatarAre you coughing up any mucous?Question 03/25/20 12:58 AM CDT
Anita DouglasI’m coughing up rust-colored sputum. 
Your avatarAre there any factors that make your symptoms worse? (Clarified to Does anything make your symptoms worse?.)(Anita Douglas Community-Acquired Pneumonia)Question 03/25/20 12:59 AM CDT
Anita DouglasCoughing 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.) 
Your avatarWhat helps relieve your symptomsQuestion 03/25/20 1:00 AM CDT
Anita DouglasRest 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. 
Your avatarhow bad is the pain?Question 03/25/20 1:00 AM CDT

Your avatardoes the aspirin relieve your painQuestion 03/25/20 1:22 AM CDT
Anita DouglasIt 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]
