Problem: Explain how to revise the SOAP note to include the correct medical terms and an accurate documentation of the patient's diagnosis:

SOAP NOTE:

CHIEF COMPLANT: 72 yr. old gentleman of Dr. K. Derby's who presents with chest pain. HISTORY OF PRESENT ILNESS: Mr. Gibbon is a very cheery sort of fellow. He is very pleasant. He looks as though he probably should be running some sort of hardware store commercial. He states that today while he was preparing breakfast, in the restroom he suffered some chess discomfort. He is a little bit vague as to where his chest really is. He felt it in his back, he felt it in his jaw. He took a couple of Nitroglycerine in sequence three minutes apart and felt better. Apparently, this has been occurring a little more frequently recently. All these things are nebulous. If it wasn't for his wife I think he would deny everything. According to his wife, he has been having more frequent episodes and has gained a fair amount of wait over the winter. He has had little physical activity. His pastor who is with him and often serves as his spokesman, stated that he had hunted this past fall without having to take any medication. However, he said the pace was quite controlled and he really didn't do very much in the way of heavy exercise. The patient has a history of an mycocardial infraction in 1981. Underwent catheterisation. Apparently, no surgery was necessary. There is also some question about him having a lot of indijestion from time to time and it is not clear whether it is cardiac or GI. Because of his prior cardiac history, the progression of his chest pane, the uncertainty of its origin, he will be admitted for further evaluation and treatmant.
