(Begin with the chief complaint and duration. Then provide a chronological, problem-oriented narrative that focuses on the reason for consultation. Group related symptoms into coherent separate paragraphs rather than a single block of text. For each main problem or symptom cluster, explicitly address where available: onset, duration, tempo/progression, location and radiation, quality, severity, aggravating and relieving factors, associated symptoms, and key negatives. Include relevant baseline function, prior episodes, relevant past investigations or imaging, prior treatments and response, and any recent triggers. Comment on relevant risk factors for the presenting problem when available. Summarize functional impact where available.  End with a review of systems related to the presenting problem)
