ical or surgical history,medicines or allergies.He further declines to answer any questions about his work or social circumstances.
EXAM DETAILS
Alert and hydrated.
Patient is rude and argumentative.
Reports that he has a piece of gristle that he wishes to have removed=that he saw the sign outside the building that says 'Day Surgery',and has thus self-presented as he has a day off=reports first day off in 2 years and that he doesnt want to waste it.
