Please HEL Read the scenario and complete the statement about the patient interviewing method the doctor is using.
Doctor: So, what brings you into the office today?
Patient: My right elbow is bothering me.
Doctor: How so?
Patient: There are times during the day that it just starts hurting terribly. I think I’ve even lost some strength in my right hand and arm. And sometimes, when I move my arm during the night, the pain is so intense that it wakes me up.
Doctor: Do you remember when you started experiencing these problems?
Patient: Yes. It started about two weeks ago, right around the time that I started tennis lessons.
Doctor: What did it feel like when you hurt it?
Patient: I didn’t really notice anything at first. The pain came on gradually.
Doctor: You don’t realize how much you use your elbow in a day, until it starts hurting whenever you try to use it, right?
Patient: That’s the truth!
