(Medical Transcription Sample Report)


HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: Patient is a three years old male who about 45 minutes prior admission to the emergency room ingested about two to three tablets of Celesta 40 mg per tablets. Mom called to the poison control center and the recommendation was to take the patient to the emergency room and be evaluated. The patient was alert and did not vomit during the transport to the emergency room. Mom left the patient and his little one-year-old brother in the room by themselves and she went outside of the house for a couple of minutes, and when came back, she saw the patient having the Celesta foils in his hands and half of tablet was moist and on the floor. The patient said that the pills "didn't taste good," so it is presumed that the patient actually ingested at least two-and-a-half tablets of Celesta, 40 mg per tablet.
