Patient history – how was the patient diagnosed?
Sid’s wife took him to their local GP about four years ago when she noticed some slight changes in his
behaviour and when she noticed a tremor in his hands, his GP asked him about his symptoms, his medical
history and completed a physical examination. He was asked to do some mental and physical tasks like
moving and walking around, and the GP decided that he was most likely to have Parkinson’s disease.
Sid was referred to a specialist, who then diagnosed him with Parkinson’s disease.
