Clinical Encounter – Evaluation of Wrist Pain

P: Buenas tardes, doctora.

D: Buenas tardes, señora Ortiz. ¿Cómo le va?

P: Muy bien doctora, pero tengo dolor en la mano derecha. Y me duele mucho cuando trabajo.

D: ¿En qué trabaja usted?

P: Yo trabajo en línea de ensamblaje, sellando partes de los carritos para nieve, usando tenazas, así.

D: Bueno, ya veo. Enséñeme dónde le duele.

P: Aquí. (La paciente señala con un dedo la muñeca.)

D: ¿Cómo es el dolor?

P: Es como hormigueo.

D: ¿Y se extiende hacia el brazo o hacia los dedos?

P: Si se me extiende hacia los dedos.

D: ¿Qué dedos? ¿Más hacia el dedo índice y pulgar o más hacia el dedo meñique?

P: Bueno, siento el dedo pulgar un poco adormecido.

D: ¿Siente debilidad en el dedo pulgar?

P: Sí, se me han caído unas cosas

D: ¿Y cuándo le da el dolor? ¿Más durante la noche o durante el día?

P: Pues en el trabajo, cuando sello las partes con las tenazas me da dolor. Y a veces me despierto por la noche con dolor.

D: ¿Le da dolor cuando maneja el carro?

P: Sí.

D: Ya le voy a hacer un examen.
