case submission format

[Guest guest]

Lets try using a standard case submission format as Zev suggested

before starting a separate list, as the majority opinion seems to be

for not breaking it up right now and I also feel that way, at least

tentatively. Feel free to edit this format, but this should be the

minimum. I have also noted how these TCM paramters fit into a

standard SOAP format.

 

1) Chief complaint (this should usually be a symptom, rather than a

disease; it should be elaborated using OPQRST) (subjective)

2) Biomedical Dx (if available, include dx method, i.e. lab test

showed elevated liver enzymes or intestinal parasites, etc.)

(objective)

3) Relevant Medical History, include habits, diet, exercise, etc.

4) questioning examination (subjective)

5) pulse and palpation examination (objective)

6) tongue and observation examination (objective)

7) the pattern(s) and treatment principles you chose, including your

rationale (unless this is your question) (assessment)

8) herbs used (unless this is your question) (plan)

9) other treatments or lifestyle changes (i.e. patient fasted for ten

days or began to exercise regularly)

Todd...please remove me from the herbacademy mailing

list...I have too many things on my platter to weed

through 40+ emails (from the herbacademy alone). I do

look forward to the class you have offered thru your

online learning opp. I wish there was a way I could

isolate parts of this discussion...it has been most

interesting...unfortunately, it is taking too much

time from my already busy schedule.

 

Thank you for sharing. Paul Gerst
