AM = Asociado Médico, PT = Paciente 02:04 AM: Voy a ordenar un ultrasonido de la pierna para descartar la posibilidad de un coágulo sanguíneo que puede causar los mismos síntomas.

[Después del ultrasonido, el asociado médico vuelve con los resultados.] AM: Bien, el ultrasonido salió negativo. No se ve ningún coágulo. Usted tiene una infección de la piel que se llama celulitis. Le voy a dar una inyección de antibióticos hoy y recetarle un tratamiento de siete días de antibióticos para tratar la infección. Quiero que eleve la pierna cuando esté descansando, y para el dolor, puede tomar ibuprofeno y paracetamol. He escrito las dosis aquí. Si empieza a tener fiebre, o no mejora la pierna en los siguientes días, venga a vernos nuevamente. PT: Lo haré, doctor. Gracias. AM: Bueno, por favor pase por la recepción, y ahí Rosi le atenderá. Le programará una cita en una semana para volver a revisarle la pierna. PT: Gracias, doctor. AM: Es un placer servirle.
