TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Active Medical Conditions A1 - Kaufman, Tina M. A1 - Alegre, Ticiano Y1 - 2010 N1 - T2 - Yes/No Medical Spanish: Comprehensive Handbook of Clinical Spanish AB - This chapter includes many of the chronic medical conditions most commonly encountered in clinical practice. Frequently, patients will present with no specific “chief complaint,” but rather as a routine follow-up for a chronic medical condition, say hypertension or diabetes. In this case the “OLD CARTS” method of history taking (see Chapter 5, “History of Present Illness for Common Symptoms”) no longer applies. Instead, the clinician needs a “snapshot” idea of where a patient is in their disease process. SN - PB - F.A.
