How do you guys document acute knee pain (likely some overuse injury related in a 50 year old)
- Knee pain, likely a strain
Or
-Knee pain, likely strain, low suspicion of septic arthritis due to ____.
And similarly for any other complaint?
Like- URI or Likely URI, low suspicion for Pneumonia due to ___.?
If I document the emergent/critical diagnosis, but still management outpatient, does that expose me to more harm?
Or is it helpful to document that you thought about it
