The Medical H&P (History and Physical)

Just in time before my inpatient medicine rotation next month! Always good to get a different perspective. Thank you again for making these videos covering this and the physical exam. They are thorough and helpful.

This video has the potential to become legendary on an already legendary youtube channel. Thank you once again Dr. Strong. Such important concepts and when I was taught it in my medical school I found it so boring and dry. It wasn't until later when trying to create the first H&Ps that I realized that I needed a really good system for my health records, otherwise I do everything in a chaotic manner with a high probability of error. What I find most helpful about this video: 1. using real life example 2. examples of how not to do it (errors) - sometimes only after seeing how not to do it, I get to understand the basic principle. Even with things I think are obvious.

I never clicked so fast for a video 😂

Thank you doctor, I was suffering with organizing my notes and thoughts regarding the history taking part

Hello Dr. Strong! Could you please give an update on the release schedule for the strong exam videos. I particularly like the series and found it very informative. Would be very helpful for me. Thank you

Thank you so much for this! I do have a very specific question about one of your examples. For the IE patient in the HEENT section, you mentioned no roth spots. Is a fundoscopic exam an essential component of the exam for a patient admitted for IE? I'm a 4th year med student, and I haven't done or seen a fundoscopic exam outside of a tutorial we had 2nd year, and I haven't seen any of the doctors I worked with perform a fundoscopic exam for IE patients. Just wondering if that might be an institutional thing, so my question is if you would expect medical students or interns working with you to perform a fundoscopic exam for IE patients. I know this is a bit off-topic for the video but I did want to ask! Thank you again!

Amazing video, could you please provide some quality examples so we can learn from

I'll echo Dr. Adam Rodman's view that ROS has outlived it's usefulness (and initial intent) and should not be included in notes, along with the recommendation to not say "PMHX of" or "HX of" if a condition is chronic (which is more anamnesis-like). The 2023 update to the billing rules for CMS validate this, as ROS is no longer a component, and by-the-book coders will not code a condition that is "HX of", as it is presumably resolved.
