Just someone reviewing the history and there was no elaboration other than that.  This particular dictator is killing me tonight...they sound like they are recanting a dream while still out of it themselves...words are trickling out their mouth oh every 15-30 seconds or so and sentences are all malformed, they are yawning, so a 10 minute report is only yielding like 30 lines and I'm falling asleep myself...very frustrating!

A lot of times the doctor is looking at the handwritten medication list from the patient. Sometimes they can't read their writing. If the doctor himself doesn't know what it is, that is a good indication! Someone in the office will need to look at the chart to decipher. They may even need to call the patient to clarify. So please do not feel bad. We all get these!!
