Phone Visit
Narrative: SPRUCE MESSAGE VISIT Date: 2025-02-16 Encounter: Spruce text message CC: One ear tube still in place, noted by the allergy doctor at a recent appointment. HPI: Hendricks, age approximately 5, had ear tubes placed approximately 3 years prior. During a recent allergy appointment, the provider noted one tube was still present. The parent was uncertain of its exact location in the canal. No symptoms related to the tube were reported. Assessment: Retained ear tube; exact location in canal unclear. Clinical assessment deferred to next in-person encounter. Plan: Dr. Hobbs to examine the ear at the next in-person visit; if tube is in the canal, it can be removed at that time. Key clinical quotes: "Let's see where it's at the next time I see him and if it's in the canal, I can take it out" Source: Spruce conversation t_27C02FVS44O00
