Gastroenterology

CHART NOTE

After my initial history and physical examination, it is my impression that the patient has probable NSAID-induced peptic ulcer disease.  I gave the patient 3 Hemoccult cards, all of which were returned and were subsequently negative.  If at a future date the patient requires increasing dosage of NSAIDs, her stools should be reexamined, and if at any time they are positive, I would proceed with gastroscopy.


CHART NOTE

My impression was that he possibly had ulcer disease.  He was given a trial of Tagamet 400 mg p.o. b.i.d.  He was also given Hemoccult cards, which he sent back and which were subsequently negative on 3 different occasions.  He was also given the Cancer Society brochure on the guidelines for preventing cancer.  He was instructed to eat a high-fiber diet, and we suggested that he read the ‘Save Your Life Diet book.’  I discussed with him that if he did not get significant relief, it would be appropriate to proceed with gastroscopy.
