Patient

1. 

   Doctor

   The last note says the symptoms were mild. Is that how you would describe them?
2. 

   Patient

   No. They were never mild. I was trying to be a good patient, and that was a mistake.
3. 

   Doctor

   What is the worst hour of the day for the symptoms?
4. 

   Patient

   Late afternoon is the worst hour. I cannot concentrate, and I have to leave work early.
5. 

   Patient

   Will you correct the record and look at a different treatment?
6. 

   Doctor

   Yes, I will correct the record and look at a different treatment. I would rather you be precise than polite.

   Doctor

   Can you keep a two-week diary of the symptoms?
8. 

   Patient

   Yes, I can keep a two-week diary if that helps you.
9. 

   Patient

   Will you put the new plan in the notes before I leave?
