The computer generated routing slip on the exam room door said he was there because of a knee injury. That turned out to be only partly true.
When I entered the room, he was sitting comfortably on the exam table. I introduced myself, we shook hands, and as I sat down at the computer to open the EHR to his chart, I started with my usual fairly open-ended question:
Me: So, what brings you in today and how can I help?
Him: I hurt my knee this past weekend. (Note: this was a Wednesday.)
Me: Tell me about it.
