Chart Note 4.2
Comes to the office today for Botox injections. He has a very significant and rather severe left-sided hemifacial spasm.
Informed consent was obtained from the patient. Under sterile conditions, he received a total of 78.75 units of Botox. Location and dosages of injections are documented on his injection form. He tolerated these well. No complications were noted. He will follow up in 3 months when further injections are needed. He is to call the office in 2 weeks and let us know how well he is doing. If at that time he needs a touchup of the injections, we certainly will proceed from there.
I did tell the patient that the first time someone is injected, it is somewhat difficult to know the exact dose. We need to try a dose-response curve with him with the injections. Overall we should be able to get somewhere in the range of 90% relief of the hemifacial spasm.
Emergency Department Note 4.3

Patient reports that a client bit her on the right upper arm while they were trying to sit him up in a chair for dinner. The patient reports that the skin was broken.
She denies any fever, nausea, vomiting, neck pain, back pain, or abdominal pain.

Patient reports that she has completed the hepatitis B vaccination series.
On physical exam, patient’s right upper arm has small superficial abrasions. There is minimal bruising. There are no signs of infection at this time, 48 hours later.
Patient was given a tetanus shot, and after discussion, for patient’s confidentiality reasons and due to low risk of this event, she will follow up with the health center where she gets her medical care for an HIV test and hepatitis titer tomorrow. She will return for any problems or complications. She was
