Evaluation Dialogue Between Doctor-Patient: |
Doctor |
Good morning. How can I help you? |
Patient |
Doctora, tengo un callo en la planta del pie, llevo un año yendo al podólogo y no se resuelve. Además, me ha empezado a doler al andar. |
Doctor |
Apart from going to the podiatrist, have you applied any medication? |
Patient |
Sí, me he puesto un líquido que me dieron en la farmacia para callos, pero no me ha hecho nada. |
Doctor |
Is there anything else on the rest of your foot you’d like to look at? |
Patient |
No, solo eso. |
Doctor |
Take your shoes off and show me the soles of your feet, please. |
Doctor |
You have two plantar warts. They are caused by the human papillomavirus. |
Mother |
¿Y eso es grave? |
Doctor |
No, don’t worry. We’ll do the first treatment session using cryotherapy today. |
Patient |
¿Y en qué consiste? |
Doctor |
It consists of freezing the lesions with liquid nitrogen spray for a few seconds. It’s a bit uncomfortable. |
Patient |
Perfecto. |
Doctor |
After the cryosurgery, the two lesions will swell up, and you may get a blister. You should wash them twice a day with soap and water, thoroughly dry them, and apply a touch of Iodine or Chlorhexidine. |
Patient |
Vale. Perfecto. ¿Me tumbo en la camilla? |
Doctor |
Yes, please. |
