CSU - history taking

some points i noticed in CSU history taking.

ask open ended questions, followed (must) by specific question
-most of us know that we're supposed to do this but do not know how.
when given history of fever, ask for temperature!
when given history of "back excersise", ask what kind!,
when you notice patient has low compliance, try to find out why!
(drug incompliance - ask why - they might be having side effects)
WHAT WHY WHEN

summerising the history will help the patient arrange things for you.
they may give you a few more stuff when you summerise for them.
also good to use as "glue" for the next section.

be observant.

Respi specific history - drug history
there are 3 types of commercial asthma drugs.
blue - reliever, brown - preventer, grey - mixture.
