my H & P [history and physical]

ID [identifying info]: 32 y/o WM, intern in general surgery
CC [chief complaint]: see above
HPI [history of present illness]: don't get me started
PMH, FH [past medical history, family history]: non-contributory
SH [social history]: insufficient EtOH consumption, non-smoker, eats on occasion
ROS [review of systems]: deferred

VS [vital signs]: Temp 98.6 F, Pulse 60, Resp 10, BP 110/70, oxygen sat 98% on room air, Ht: 5'4", Wt: roughly ~165 lbs, BMI [body mass index]: math is hard, about 28.3 (goal is < 25).

Remainder of physical exam deferred, as the subject was compelled to leave to answer a page. Let it be noted that mental status was impaired, physical conditioning was poor, and posture was stooped.

A/P [assessment & plan]: Highly stressed individual with increasing demands on his limited intellect and experience. Encourage extensive reading, rest, exercise, and healthy diet - none of which are compatible with expected lifestyle over next year. Expect some relief with expanded support system, if red tape ever clears. Wish him best of luck, and follow-up as needed!
