  1. Var x: record

Read the dialogue between Doctor Johnson and a medical student through. Then read and translate the first case below. Using the sections of the medical record Dr. Johnson is reading in the dialogue as a model, fill in the similar sections for Case 1. Continue making up medical records with the same sections for the other cases described.

The diagnoses of these cases are given after the 7th Case. You are not qualified enough yet to find the correct diagnosis to each case. However, you could try, think and guess, relying on some medical knowledge you do have. Prepare to give your reasons why you have chosen the particular diagnosis. Your lecturer will give you the correct diagnosis of the doctors.

 

Dr.Johnson: So, what is the history of your new case? Let me see it!

Medical Student: Here you are!

Dr.Johnson (reads):

Patient: Paul Brown.

Age: 58.

Sex: Male.

Occupation: Engineer.

Family status: Married.

Family history: Wife and four children living and well; father living and well; mother died: the result of a street accident; two sisters and а brother living and well.

Past history: Measles, scarlet fever and pneumonia in childhood; two ribs fractured: the result of a war wound; neither drinks nor smokes.

Present complaints: A severe pain in the abdomen (the right iliac region); nausea and vomiting; temperature 39ºC.

Duration: 2 days.

Diagnosis: Acute appendicitis.

Dr.Johnson: In most cases, appendicitis is not difficult to diagnose, but sometimes the picture is that of acute intestinal process, e.g. enterocolitis. It is particularly easy to overlook it in children, in whom its course is a violent one and often produces general phenomena with negligible local ones. Children cannot point out the location of pain and often complain of it in the epigastrium or all over the abdomen. Tell me, please, what does his physical examination reveal?

Medical Student: The physical examination of my patient reveals pain and limited muscular tension in the right iliac region. The clinical picture is the one of acute appendicitis.

Dr.Johnson: I agree with you that his symptoms are those of acute appendicitis.

CASE 1

The doctor was called in as the patient, Eric Someson, complained of high temperature, pains in the right side on deep respiration, dry cough. The onset was sudden, the day before while working he felt malaise, chill, a slight cough appeared. In the evening the temperature was 38ºC, today in the morning it was 38,4ºC.

His heart borders and sounds are normal. The shape of his chest is regular, the right side of it is somewhat retarded in breathing, respiration rate is 18 per minute. On percussion a dull sound (loss of resonance) was revealed in the right subscapular area. There is slightly harsh breathing and pleural rub in the same area.

 

CASE 2

Mike Green was brought to the in-patient department as an emergency case with complaints of fever, the temperature being up to 38,5-39ºC, pains in the left side of the chest, especially bad on respiration, cough with a small amount of mucopurulent sputum without any smell. The patient had been ill for a week. The onset had been sudden, the temperature rising to 38ºC, with cough and pains in the left side.

The pulse rate is 120 per minute, it is small, soft. Blood pressure is 100 over 60 mm. The heart borders are normal, the first sound is slightly dull. The chest on the left is retarded on respiration. On the left at the back the lung border cannot be determined, on the right the lung border is normal. There is a pleural friction rub along the lower side. The vocal fremitus and bronchophony are increased.

 

CASE 3

Evan Wilson, aged 50, male, was brought to the in-patient department as a case of emergency. He complained of a pain in the right side of his chest which set in abruptly and of short breath. He had been ill with an upper respiratory infection for some days when an acute pain in his side and breathlessness developed on a bad attack of coughing. The temperature is normal.
