గుంటూరు గారూ, ఇక్కడ రైడ్‌లో మీ జీపీ సమీక్షకు ముందు, సెప్టెంబరు తొమ్మిదిన నమోదైన మందు ప్రతిచర్య వివరాల్లో ఏ భాగాన్ని సరిచేయాలో చెప్పండి.

సెప్టెంబరు తొమ్మిదిన మందు తీసుకున్నాక వాపు వచ్చి, ఊపిరి తీసుకోవడం కష్టమైందని రాశారు. కానీ నాకు వికారంగా అనిపించి, తల తిరిగింది అంతే. వాపు రాలేదు, ఊపిరి తీసుకోవడంలో ఇబ్బంది లేదు.

Model answer and marking points
ఇక్కడ రాసినట్టు వాపు, ఊపిరి తీసుకోవడంలో ఇబ్బంది కాకుండా, మీకు వికారం, తల తిరగడం వచ్చినట్టు గుర్తుంది. మందు తీసుకున్న తర్వాత ఆ లక్షణాలు ఎంతసేపు ఉన్నాయి?
What an examiner checks here:
- Patient remembers nausea and dizziness
- Different from recorded swelling and breathing difficulty
- question: how long symptoms lasted after taking the medicine
Easy to miss: The question asks how long the symptoms lasted, not how soon they started.
ఆ ఇబ్బంది రెండు గంటలు ఉండి తగ్గిపోయింది. మరుసటి రోజు ఫోన్ చేసి చెప్పాను. అప్పుడు కాస్త కంగారుపడ్డాను. నేను చెప్పింది సరిగ్గా అర్థం కాలేదేమో.

Those symptoms lasted for two hours and then went away. I phoned the next day to report them. I was a bit anxious at the time. Perhaps what I said wasn't understood properly.

- Phoned the following day to report them
- Was a bit anxious at the time
- May have been misunderstood
Easy to miss: The possible misunderstanding is uncertain, not an accusation stated as fact.

All right, I'll bring it. In the meantime, I'm worried that if another doctor at this clinic looks at that record, they might think I had a severe allergic reaction. Will the details I've given now be visible too? Could you give me a copy of them?
