I use the letter writer for pre-op H&P's. I would like the second and additional pages to have the page number, Patient name and date of birth on them, but you know what? I have a ball point pen and just write it on for now. I know the day will come when John gets it done, but I want the Version 5 and 6 done first! It is still just awesome to do an H&P this way. I have them finished before I leave the room and after the MA sends a fax to the Hospital and the Surgeon, we give the original to the patient in case anyone loses the copy we faxed. It is really great.
