PLAN:
1. Educated patient on today's findings. Discussed importance of continued 
follow up care and testing to ensure no further progression. Patient voiced 
understanding. Ordered carotid ultrasound and blood work (CBC with 
differential, CRP, ESR, HgA1C, lipid panel and glucose). Advised patient to 
call 911 or go to the emergency room ASAP if any sudden painless transient 
monocular loss of vision, jaw pain, temple/scalp pain, sudden muscle weakness 
or confusion. Monitor 2 months with VF/Gonio/DFE 
2. Patient educated on findings, benefits of tight glucose control, modifiable 
risk factors, and the importance of continued follow with primary care 
physician; monitor at complete exam 
3. Educated patient on todays findings. Discussed importance of good blood 
pressure control and continued management with primary care team. Monitor 
complete.
4. Educated patient; surgery not indicated; monitor complete exam 
5. New spec Rx issued today. Monitor complete
