Doctor
Hello, Diane. This must be your mother.
Diane:
Yes doctor. My mom is going to be living with us now. I appreciate you seeing her.
Doctor Good afternoon, Mrs. B. I understand you have rheumatoid arthritis.
Diane:
Her English is not fluent, doctor. She has had rheumatoid arthritis for 12 years. She complains all the time about her pain and about being tired and dizzy. She won't take her medication as prescribed and we just don't know what to do for her. My husband and I are at work all day and I worry about her.
