A travel history is a very important part of the subjective assessment, as it can give health care providers insight into places around the world where they can escape.

Example of Taking a Travel History

MD: Have you traveled outside the country in the past 6 months?

Patient: Yes, I have.

MD: Where?

Patient: Argentina, Brazil, South Africa, and Australia.

MD (silent jealousy): Take me with you.

Patient: Excuse me?

MD: I said take me with you. This job is killing me.^[1] It must be better somewhere, anywhere but here.

Patient: What are you saying?

MD: I'm saying I hate my job and I need to leave!

Patient: I'm sorry, this is getting awkward...

MD: Will you help me write a resignation letter?^[2]
