4th week in Neurology @ BIDMC  admittion note

本日の新患さんは、morbit obesityな患者さん。
私にとっては、普段(アメリカ人にとってはobeseでもなんでもない患者さん)でも歩行試験を一人でやる勇気が無い(倒れても支えられない!!)ような患者さんばっかりのなか、morbitが付くような肥満の患者さんというのは、さらにすごいです>_<
筋トーヌス見るのとか、腱反射とか、ホント重くて一苦労。。


せっかく1ヶ月神経内科を回ったので、神経所見についてでも。 と思ったのですが、その前に、まずは私のadmittion noteでも。まだまだ未熟なので、突っ込みどころ満載だとは思いますが。
アメリカのカルテの雰囲気は伝わりますかね?略称だらけで、ホント最初は意味不明でした。
カルテは個人情報だから、本物は当然書けないので、ここに書くとなると自分で作らなくてはいけなくて、現病歴まで全て作るの大変だから現病歴は飛ばします(笑)

本物のadmittion note, progress note見たい、という稀有な方がいれば、連絡下さい。紙カルテバージョンも、電子カルテバージョンも持ってます。

(A/P)
ここからが一番大事な部分。
アメリカではS/Oまではとれて当たり前なので、A/Pが出来ないと出来たことになりません。
residentにも、presentationをする時にA/Pがattendingをimpressする部分なんだから、ここを頑張れ!と言われます。
でも、私にはまだまだ難しくて、私の鑑別疾患・A/Pは「正しいけど、後1歩。だから?その先は?」と突っ込まれます>_<

The pt is a ××yo F with DM,obesity, HTN, …以下略。患者さんを1文で要約します。
On exam, muscle strength was 4 throughout, in Lt, especially weak for 3 in Bi. Her sensation to Lt, pinprick, and temp was decreased toughly in C6-C7 region.

DDx:
- brachial plexoplathy
She has both motor and sensory deficits in broad root levels w/ hypersthenia and allodynia, which strongly suggest peripheral neuropathy, especially plexopathy.
Her motor weakness is form C6-C(, especially in Bi(C6) and BR(C7), which corresponds with her sensory deficit roughly in C6-C7.
- 次の鑑別疾患。以下略。

Further plan:
- EMG: next week to assess the nerve injury
- Pain control (as Gabapentin increased)


以下、この意味不明な略語の嵐のカルテの解説&神経学的所見の取り方の説明をざっと書いてみました^-^
