Dear Doctor,
Re: Mrs Helen Blake
Age: 33 years
I would value your opinion on this rather anxious lady who has been to see me over the past 12 months with a range of ailments. Today she was complaining of a headache, which appears to be very benign in nature and clinically she appeared well but her blood pressure was measured at 192/94. I have commenced a diuretic and will be keeping an eye on her BP but would really value an expert opinion with regards further investigations.
Yours sincerely
