Physical Description on Admission to Hospital + Test Results
« on: Wednesday 24 August 22 16:27 BST (UK) »
I have two more documents associated with this patient that I had forgotten to post before the case notes, but these are the last. (I promise!)

The physical description notes are dreadfully written, I can only make out the first few notes, and almost nothing after that. The urine test results are much easier to read but contains medical jargon I'm not really aware of!

I can't decipher much, but here's what I think at the moment:


PHYSICAL DESCRITPION
Height 5-1 Weight 9-11 Temperature 98F, bodily condition: fat?
Scars: old abdominal scar
[no idea about the rest, looks like knee joint on the second to last line, though.]
URINE TEST RESULTS
Reaction acid, [?]
all [?]
[?]


As always, any help is much appreciated!  :)

In the first one I think it's Bodily Condition - Fair (though some of the details don't sound wonderful).

In the lower part, I think I can see:
Tongue - Furred    Teeth - Nil
Abdomen - Very adipose
Herniae - Nil

And the last line:
Pupils equal do not react to light

Edited to add:
higher up, Pulse - Regular   Arteries - arteriosclerotic

The rest is a mystery to me.

Thank you for your help Arthur, I really appreciate it! :)

There was a bit more that I added while you were typing (it's missing from what you quoted).
