Patient:
Hello?
Agent:
Hi, this is Downtown Specialty Pharmacy calling. Am I speaking with James?
Patient:
Speaking.
Agent:
Thanks, James. I’m calling to check in after your infusion yesterday. How are you feeling today overall?
Patient:
I’m alright, I guess. Pretty tired though.
Agent:
Okay, thanks for sharing that. I just have a few quick questions about how your body is responding to the infusion. Have you noticed any soreness, swelling, redness, or warmth at the IV site?
Patient:
Mm, it’s a little sore. There might be some redness, but I’m not sure.
Agent:
Thanks for letting me know. Is the redness just around the spot, or does it look like it’s spreading or raised at all?
Patient:
Uh, it’s just tender when I press on it. I looked at it a minute ago, it may be a tiny bit pink, but nothing raised or swollen.
Agent:
All right, thanks for checking. You mentioned feeling pretty tired. Have you noticed any unusual weakness or trouble getting around today?
Patient:
Uh, yeah, I’ve been wiped out.
Agent:
Thanks for sharing. Have you had any nausea or changes in your appetite since the infusion?
Patient:
A bit queasy last night, not terrible. I didn’t eat much for dinner.
Agent:
Okay, thanks. Have you had any headache or dizziness today?
Patient:
Mild headache, yeah. It’s been there on and off since the infusion.
Agent:
Got it. Have you noticed any skin changes, like rash, itching, or hives?
Patient:
Mm, nothing like that.
Agent:
Alright. Any trouble breathing or any chest tightness since the infusion? No. Thanks for going through those with me. So you have some mild soreness and slight pinkness at the IV site, feeling pretty tired, a bit of queasiness last night, and a mild headache, but no rash, breathing issues, or chest tightness. Is that accurate?
Patient:
Yeah, that’s pretty much it.
Agent:
Thanks for confirming. I’ll pass this summary to the pharmacist, and someone from the care team may follow up with you today or tomorrow. If your symptoms get worse or you notice anything new, please call the pharmacy at 1-800-555-0199.
Patient:
Okay, sounds good.
Agent:
Thanks for your time today. Take care and have a good day.
