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. It must be better somewhere, anywhere but here. Patient: I'm sorry, this is getting awkward. MD: Will you help me write a resignation letter?
