SAMPLE LETTER - MR JOHN ADAMS

 Sample Letter

Dear Dr. Perkins,

Re: Mr. John Adams, 67 years old

I am writing to provide details regarding Mr. John Adams, who was admitted on 12 January 2025 for emergency surgery following a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). He is recovering well and requires follow-up care upon discharge, planned for 19 January 2025.

Mr. Adams was diagnosed with an AAA three months ago. His medical history includes hypertension, managed with ramipril, and diet-controlled type 2 diabetes. Notably, he is a former smoker, having quit recently. He lives alone with limited mobility, though his daughter provides support twice weekly.

During admission, he underwent emergency open surgical repair and recovered without complications. His wound is healing well, with no signs of infection, and his blood pressure and glucose levels remain stable. Pain management includes paracetamol, and physiotherapy has been arranged to improve mobility.

I recommend regular dressing changes every three days and monitoring for signs of infection or other complications. Additionally, please reinforce diabetes management strategies and encourage smoking cessation counseling to prevent further vascular issues. He will need a follow-up appointment with a vascular surgeon in six weeks.

Please feel free to contact me if further clarification is required.

Yours sincerely,
[Your Name]
[Your Position]

Feedback Notes:

  1. The letter stays within the required word limit (200 words).
  2. It maintains a professional tone, prioritizing the patient’s acute and chronic needs.
  3. The summary highlights urgent follow-up tasks (wound care, infection monitoring) alongside chronic condition management.
