SCRIPTING
SCRIPTING
e images in this book can be used in any way that may be helpful for the patient encounter. A few things are important to keep in mind for eective patient communication:
• Use colloquial terms (e.g.: eardrum instead of tympanic membrane, blood clot instead of pulmonary embolism)
• Focus on the top three things that are pertinent. As clinicians, we know that there may be several dierentials that we consider when making diagnoses. However, when talking with a patient, discuss only the most pertinent few.
• Compare the normal (“is is what it is supposed to look like”) to the abnormal (“is is what it looks like”)
• Address common misconceptions up front
• Discuss the medical lingo and explain what “patients” call it and what “medical professionals” call it.
• Use short sentences that are to the point.
Each patient encounter will be dierent. e same image may be used multiple times, yet explained in multiple dierent ways. You may use the same image multiple times, yet explain it in multiple dierent ways. Some images may be more useful than others. Below are very basic suggestions of how to use a particular image to talk with a patient (each entry corresponds to a page in the book). Notice that each title is written in a colloquial language with the medical terminology listed underneath. Notice also that the labels are also written in a very colloquial language to simplify what is happening for a non- medical patient. Common misconceptions are in italics.
SKIN
Blood draw (Page 2)
A tourniquet plumps up your blood vessel (vein). A needle is inserted directly into your vein. Blood is removed. Once the needle is removed, there is no direct access to the blood vessel. To get more blood, a needle needs to be re- inserted. Clinicians oen call
this a “buttery” stick because the device looks like a buttery.
Cut (Page 4) Laceration
A cut is a break in the skin. Each cut is unique: where it is, how big and how deep it is, how dirty it is, how close it is to important structures like tendons, blood vessels, and nerves. Some cuts require repair. An abrasion occurs when the skin has rubbed against something and is missing a layer. A puncture wound occurs when there is a deep, narrow break in the skin.
IV (Page 3) Intravenous insertion
A tourniquet plumps up your blood vessel (vein). A needle, attached to a small piece of plastic, is inserted directly into your vein. Once inside the vein, the plastic is advanced and the needle is withdrawn. Now, there is direct access to your blood vessels. You can receive uids or medications through this conduit. A needle does not need to be used again. e
needle does not stay in your blood vessel; only a exible piece of plastic is le in your arm.
Options for repair (Page 5)
Repairable lacerations can be xed using 4 dierent methods: stitches, Steri- Strips, staples, and adhesive glue. Abrasions usually do not require repair. ey slowly ll in over time. Any time there is a break in the
skin, there will be some level of scarring. Clinicians try to minimize any scarring using the appropriate repair technique.

Boil (Page 6) Abscess
Just under our skin, hair follicles contain small glands that secrete sebum. is keeps skin moist and lubricated. When a hair follicle clogs up, the sebum gets trapped under the skin. is forms an early abscess. Sometimes early abscesses resolve on their own. Other times, they need to be cut open with a scalpel.
Paronychia (Page 8)
Your cuticle sits on top of the nail and helps protect it. Sometimes, bacteria becomes trapped between the cuticle and the nail. A localized infection, called paronychia, develops. To treat a paronychia, simply take a scalpel and li up the cuticle and drain this collection of pus.
Supercial clot (Page 10) Supercial thrombophlebitis
Veins return blood to the heart. Our bodies have supercial veins and deeper veins. Sometimes a blood clot develops in these veins. When the clot is in the supercial vein, it causes local inammation of the wall of the blood vessel. It usually occurs aer an IV has been placed. It resolves with heat and time. However, when the clot is in the deep vein, it can be dangerous. It may break o and travel to vital organs, like the lungs.
MRSA (Page 7) Methicillin- resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)
Our skin is covered with all types of bacteria; MRSA is the name of just one of them. e bottom image depicts how the skin gets infected. e le part of the image depicts normal, intact skin. Here, bacteria on the outside does not enter. e right part of the image depicts broken skin. Here, bacteria enter and infect underlying skin structures. MRSA commonly causes skin ulceration, but can also cause an abscess.
Crushed nger (Page 9) Subungual hematoma
When you crush the tip of your nger, blood vessels under your nail burst. is causes a lot of pressure and pain. To relieve some of this pressure, a small instrument, called a trephinator, burns a small hole through the nail. Blood drains out, and the pressure is relieved.
Airway anatomy (Page 11)
When you breathe, air ows down past the epiglottis, into your lungs. When you swallow food, the epiglottis acts like a lid and shuts the opening of the airway. is ensures that food goes into the esophagus, instead of the lungs. When you have an allergic reaction or angioedema, the tongue becomes swollen and blocks your airway. When you have epiglottitis, your epiglottis becomes swollen and blocks your airway. When you aspirate, food goes down the wrong tube; it goes down into the lungs instead of the esophagus.
EENT (Eye, ear, nose, throat)
Eye pain (Page 14) Corneal abrasion & conjunctivitis
e surface of the eye is covered with the cornea (over the eye) and the conjunctiva (on the inner surface of the eyelids). e top image depicts the normal side view of the eye. e bottom image depicts a problem with this surface. e le part of the image depicts conjunctivitis. is is where the conjunctiva becomes infected by a virus or a bacteria. e right part of the image depicts a corneal abrasion. is is a scratch on the cornea. A corneal ulcer is a hole through the surface of the cornea.
Toothache (Page 15) Dental caries vs dental abscess
e le image depicts a normal tooth. Notice that the nerve sits deep inside the pulp. e right image depicts an abnormal tooth. e le side of the image shows a cracked tooth with an exposed nerve. is causes a lot of pain. e right side of the image shows a cavity that has invaded into the pulp. Bacteria in your mouth travels down into your pulp and forms an abscess.

Nosebleed (Page 16) Epistaxis
Many blood vessels lay just under the surface of the nasal mucosa, right next to your nasal septum. Notice how supercial these vessels are. Minor trauma (picking the nose, bumping nose, dry air) can cause a nosebleed. When you have a nose bleed, tilt your head forward and pinch the area just under your bony ridge. If this does not stop the bleeding, you may need nasal packing. A packing puts direct and constant pressure on the area that is bleeding deeper inside the nose. You will go home with this packing. e hole will close up over the next few days. Do not try
to remove the packing by yourself because it may cause more damage.
Inner ear infection (Page 18) Otitis media
e le image depicts normal ear anatomy. Notice the position of the eardrum and the Eustachian tube that connects the ear to the nose. Because of this connection, ear pain is oen accompanied by nasal and throat symptoms. e image on the right depicts otitis media or an inner ear infection. Here, uid accumulates in the area and causes the eardrum to bulge.
Sinus infection (Page 17) Sinusitis
e sinuses are hollow cavities in your face. e le image depicts a normal sinus. Notice that the sinus drains into your nasal cavity and then out through your nose. e right image depicts sinusitis. Here, the nasal cavities become swollen and block the normal drainage of the sinus. Fluid builds up and accumulates in the sinuses and becomes infected.
Swimmer’s ear (Page 19) Otitis externa
e le image depicts normal ear anatomy. Notice that your ear canal curves around the side of your face. Sometimes, water gets trapped inside and causes an infection. e right image depicts an outer ear infection. Here, the ear canal becomes irritated and pus forms and drains out of the ear.
Sore throat (Page 20) Strep pharyngitis & peritonsillar abscess (PTA)
e le image depicts a normal tonsil. It hides between the folds of your throat. e structure that hangs in the middle is called the uvula. e right image depicts an infected tonsil. Notice that the tonsil becomes covered with pus and becomes enlarged and “angry.” is is strep throat. Sometimes, the infection spreads beyond the tonsils and into the nearby tissues. Here, it can form into an abscess. is causes the uvula to shi le. When you develop an infection in your throat, your lymph nodes along the side of your neck become swollen as your body ghts o the infection.

CARDIOPULMONARY
Bronchitis vs pneumonia (Page 22)
Both bronchitis and pneumonia present similarly: cough, wheezing, shortness of breath. e le image depicts bronchitis. Notice that there is a problem with the tubes of your airway. ey either ll up with mucus, causing a productive cough, OR they spasm and cause wheezing. e right image depicts pneumonia. Notice that there is a problem with your lung tissue itself. Here, the tissue gets infected. Sometimes a chest x- ray can help dierentiate the two.
Blood clot (Page 24) Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) & pulmonary embolism (PE)
Veins return blood back to your heart and lungs. e le side depicts normal venous return. e right side depicts a blood clot that forms in one of the deep veins of your leg. is causes the leg to swell. Sometimes, a small piece, called an embolism, breaks o and travels to the lungs. When it gets to the lungs, it is called a pulmonary embolism. Here, it blocks oxygen exchange in the lung tissue. e lung tissue dies from the lack of oxygen. is is called a lung infarct.
Emphysema (Page 23) Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
e le image depicts a normal lung. Notice that air moves down the airway. It travels to the alveoli and oxygen gets dropped o, where it then circulates in the bloodstream. Normally, airow is smooth. e right image depicts a lung with COPD. Notice that the walls of the alveoli are destroyed. Airow through the airways is not smooth. Instead, muscles that surround the airways spasm and cause bumpy airow and poor oxygen exchange. Also, airways ll up with mucus and interfere with oxygen exchange.
Swollen legs (Page 25) Pedal edema
Veins have valves that return blood back to your heart. e le side depicts normal blood return. Notice the valve opens to allow blood to pass and then closes to prevent backow. is process repeats to bring blood back to the heart. e right image depicts pedal edema. Notice that the valves don’t open and close properly. Blood pools at the feet. is extra uid then seeps into the subcutaneous tissue and causes a “doughy” swelling to the legs.
Heart attack (Page 26) Myocardial infarction (MI)
e heart is a muscle and needs oxygen just like any other muscle of your body. Coronary arteries supply this oxygen to the heart muscle. Sometimes, the coronary artery gets clogged. When oxygen doesn’t reach the muscle, it dies. is is a heart attack.
Heart failure (Page 28) Congestive heart failure (CHF)
ink of your heart as a pump: It takes blood in and pumps it out to the rest of your body. Sometimes, your pump fails, and it cannot pump blood out to the rest of the body. Because this incoming blood does not get pumped out, it backs up in your lungs and/ or legs.
Chest pain evaluation (Page 27)
When you have chest pain, you may be concerned mainly about your heart. But remember, that your pain may be caused by many other structures that are nearby: the skin, the muscles, the lungs, the stomach, the gallbladder, or the pancreas. Sometimes, we cannot determine the exact cause of your chest pain but have evaluated all of the structures in and around your chest.
Heart failure causes (Page 29) Diastolic vs systolic disease
Heart failure occurs because of two processes. The left image shows diastolic disease. Here, your blood pressure is very high because your blood vessels are very stiff and narrow. Your heart works really hard to pump out blood against this resistance. At first, it keeps up. But, after time, the heart muscle gets really muscular. It has a hard time filling up properly and also a hard time pumping out blood. The right image depicts systolic disease. Here, your heart is weak and dilated (usually because of a heart attack). It just does not have the strength to pump blood out.

High blood pressure (Page 30) Hypertension (HTN)
e le image depicts normal blood ow out of the heart. Notice that the blood ows smoothly. e right image depicts hypertension. Here, blood ows out of the heart into a sti, narrow blood vessel. is puts a strain on the heart. e heart muscle enlarges and becomes muscular. You can actually see this on an EKG. Your blood pressure fluctuates throughout the day (it is usually lowest while sleeping and highest in the evening). It can increase based on emotions (anger, excitement, nervousness). An isolated spike is not concerning if it occurs without symptoms.
It can actually be dangerous to acutely lower your blood pressure if you have no symptoms. It is the
general trend over time (weeks, months) that is very important to prevent the consequences of high blood pressure (kidney failure, stroke, heart attack, etc.).
Irregular heart beat (Page 32) Atrial brillation
e le image depicts the normal electrical impulses that cause the heart to pump in a regular way. Notice the impulse starts in one spot of the heart and then follows in a regular, predictable pathway. is causes a regular, rhythmic beat to the heart. e right image depicts atrial brillation. Here, multiple spots re all at once. is causes a very irregular beating of the heart. During atrial brillation, the heart does not empty completely. Clots form in the cavities of the heart. Sometimes, a small piece of this clot breaks o and goes to the brain. Here, it blocks a blood vessel and causes a stroke.
HTN + symptoms (Page 31) Hypertensive urgency
So, when should you worry about high blood pressure? When you have symptoms: severe headache/ stroke­like symptoms, chest pain, shortness of breath, abdominal pain, back pain, or foot pain. ese symptoms tell us that your blood pressure is too high and is causing strain and even damage to the organ.
Fluid around heart (Page 33) Pericarditis vs pericardial eusion
e le image depicts the pericardium, a thin, brous structure that surrounds the heart muscle. e right image depicts an inammation of the pericardium. is is called pericarditis. Sometimes, this inammation causes uid to build up in the space between the pericardium and the heart. is uid is called a pericardial eusion. is can be dangerous because this extra uid can compress the actual heart muscle and block blood return to the heart.
Aortic dissection (Page 34)
e aorta is a big blood vessel that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body. It is made up of several layers. Sometimes, the inner wall of the aorta weakens and tears. is is because of high blood pressure. Instead of going down the normal tract, blood enters the wall of the aorta and “bleeds into itself.”
Aortic aneurysm (Page 35)
e aorta is a big blood vessel that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body. Sometimes, the aorta forms a balloon- like bulge. is is called an aneurysm. Sometimes, the pressure gets too high, and the aneurysm ruptures.
