🗣️ Doctor–Patient Interview (Expanded)
Dr. Reid (Physician):
Good morning, Ms. Young. I’m Dr. Reid. It’s nice to meet you. What brings you in today?
Patricia (Patient):
Hi, Doctor. Lately, I’ve been feeling extremely tired—just wiped out all the time. It’s been going on
for several weeks now, and it’s starting to affect everything—my work, my mood, even my ability to
get out of bed some days.
Dr. Reid:
I’m sorry to hear that. That sounds frustrating. When did you first notice this change in your energy
levels?
Patricia:
It started about a month ago. At first, I thought I was just run down from work—I've been helping
cover for someone who’s out on leave—but the tiredness didn’t go away even after I took a few days
off.
