    Task 3 Model Letter : Dulcie Wood

    08/08/09
    Dr Vincent Raymond
    422 Wickham Tce
    Brisbane, 4001

    Dear Dr Raymond,
    Re: Dulcie Wood
    DOB: 15/07/43

    As arranged with your receptionist, I am referring this patient, a 66


    year old widow, who has been demonstrating symptoms suggestive
    of heart arrhythmia.

    Mrs. Woods has seen me on several occasions in the past five


    months, during which time she has had frequent episodes of heart
    flutter and her blood pressure has been fluctuating.

    The patient initially responded to Noten 50mg ½ tablet daily in the


    morning, but she still had episodes of disturbed sleep during the
    night. Therefore the dose of Noten was increased to 50mg ½ tablet
    in the morning and ½ tablet at night, but unfortunately her heart
    flutter has increased recently, especially over the last three days.
    Other current medications are Zocor 20mg and Calcium Caltrate 1
    daily.

    Today’s examination revealed a nervous and upset woman with a


    pulse rate of 70 and blood pressure of 180/90.

    Please note that her mother died of acute myocardial infarction and
    her sister, who is a patient of yours, has a similar condition.

    In view of the above, I would appreciate it if you provide an


    assessment of Mrs. Wood and advise regarding treatment and
    management of her condition.

    Yours sincerely,

    Dr Z
