Referral letter
I am writing to request an urgent admission for Mrs XXX. She is experiencing persistent chest pain.
Regarding Mrs XXX’s medical history, she is allergic to penicillin and she has history of hypothyroidism, hypertension and glaucoma. For which, she has been taking karvea 10mg, Oroxine 0.1mg once daily and Timptol Eye Drops 0.5% 1 drop twice daily. Please note, she has been taking Golden Glow Glucosamine one tablet to manage her arthritis and Normison 10 mg whenever needed.
On 29/06/2009 Mrs XXX complained indigestion, which was managed with Mylanta. After one month, she mentioned sleep disturbance and pain in her shoulder. She was administered Panadol and Normison. On 09/07/2009, again she expressed pain in shoulder, indigestion, and poor sleep.
Today morning, Mrs XXX was generally weak and she remained in bed. Her blood pressure was 180/95, it was informed to her general practitioner. Today evening, she mentioned slight nausea, sleep disturbance, pain in shoulder and neck. Her blood pressure was 175/95 and she was given Panadol and Normison at 10pm. After 45 minutes, her blood pressure was increased to 190/100 and she was observed pale, sweaty and distressed. Therefore, dialed an ambulance service and transferred the patient.
