Nurse: Hi, how have you been since the last time I saw you?
Mark: I’ve taken my medication as you said but I have a few worries
Nurse: I’m glad you are taking your medication you realise you will now be on this for life but it will reduce your risk of having a stroke or heart attack.
Mark: What happens now, is this all the tablets I need to take?
Nurse: We will review you on a regular basis and this review will mean getting your blood pressure checked and occasionally a blood test, depending on your results it is likely that we will adjust your medication.
Mark: I am worried about my job what does this mean?
Nurse: Your present condition does not effect your ability to drive. I would advise you to check the DVLA website as it has lots of information.
Mark: Can we have a chat about what I can do to help myself?
Nurse: Lets look at this further.
