H&P notebook - Medical History and Physical notebook

First of off, this book would be best for a medical student or someone in the nursing industry. As a person with no medical experience or training, i had gotten this book mostly to keep track of what happens at doctors appointments because my husband and I have major medical issues (I have brain tumors and other issues and well Jack has a bunch of other stuff wrong).
                                 

The notebook is a little smaller than a standard notebook. It has 100 pages of the same thing on every page. On the left hand side of the page it has - name, DOB, MRN(medical record number), Admit Dates, Room #, gender. Then on the rest of the page it has ID, DDx(differential diagnosis is the distinguishing of a particular disease or condition from others that present similar clinical features) , HPI (HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS), PMH(Past medical history), PSHx (past medical surgeries), FH (family history), Meds, SH, HRB, Allergies.



On the right hand side of the pages it has Skin, neurologic, endocrine, psych, ROS additional notes, Physical exam, pulse, BP, temp, General, labs, assessment, plan and future. While I wont use most of the things on this side of the book, its still very helpful to be able to write down something if the doctor needs (if its something another dr had told us that our other dr needed to know).


The notebook does have pages that can be torn out. If you are going to tear it out be sure to copy whats on the right side of the paper onto the backside of the left hand side of the paper because if not you will be mixing two different pages together.


Overall its been very helpful and the doctor even commented on it about how useful it was for both us and him! If you want to purchase this on amazon, you can click here.

I did get this at a full promotional discount for my unbias review in return.
