How To Do A Thorough Case History
By Kimberly Williams, R.E., Dean
President of The Five Star Electrologists Guild™
When a patients walks into my office my first goal is to provide you the evaluation and diagnosis possible, Diagnosis is not a skill reserved solely for physicians; it is for the professionally trained licensed and registered electrologist, as well. Diagnosis is not merely a word to the professional electrologist, but one of our most valuable skills. Proper diagnosis requires training, education, patience, and practical expertise and means the difference between an average electrologist and a professional.
Documenting a patient's overall appearance and skin condition is a prerequisite foundation to evaluate your patient’s health before you start treatment. Today's electrologist must learn new ideas, methods, and techniques in our profession, which will ultimately benefit the patient, the profession and your professional pride and reputation.
When you complete a thorough case history, you do not limit yourself and your patient's progress. For Electrologists to neglect patients case history is unprofessional and jeopardizes your patient's health and welfare and limits your ability to best treat your patient. A thorough case history card documents medications in use and medical conditions which, left unrecorded, could leave you unaware of medical conditions that might result in unforeseen complications. As you go along through this case history everything that you need to be aware of in your patient's condition will present itself.
After completing a typical case history with data such as name, address, telephone, proceed with your patient's history from date of birth, marital status, which referred your patient, and what advertising caught his or her eye.

These aspects of the history are the most important. You will find a number of patients with an unwanted fall into this category of disorder. You have much to gain from this knowledge.
Heredity and medical histories play a very large role in unwanted hair. The fact that some hair problems are hereditary and endocrine-induced conditions present some problems, which can be prevented with a The Electrologists 5 Star Diagnostic Case History. For example, your client may have a sickness or seizure disorder or epilepsy. Knowing this, you are alerted to the possibility of a seizure. Further, Dilantin is one of the standard medications taken by epileptics. Dilantin can cause excessive body and facial hair growth in women and men. Yet it is very safe to treat epileptic patients as long as they are taking anti-convulsant medications. You, the electrologist, must make the epileptic patient aware that this medication can cause a significant unwanted facial and body hair in the woman.
Presently there are other and so many medications prescribed for epileptic patients that do not cause unwanted hair problem. By informing your patient of other options, you may be able to eliminate the cause of the hair problem, by having the patient contact their neurologist to change to another medication that does not stimulate new hair growth like Dilantin. This act alone eliminates the root cause of the unwanted hair growth while expediting their electrolysis treatments, which in turn results in the patient clearing up much more rapidly to achieve permanent hair removal. Possessing knowledge of medications that cause unwanted hair problem is essential to attain the best possible outcome.
The 5 Star Electrologists diagnostic case history and evaluation offers you more than protection from contagion, it also allows you to better understand your patient's medical condition and needs. This improves your professional image and standing in the eyes of your patient.
Electrolysis treatments, methods and techniques practically applied will eliminate unwanted excessive hair growth and with exceptions, control the more severe endocrine and genetic hair problems. These techniques improve your professional credibility. They might seem new to you, and they are probably different and more comprehensive than what you were taught in your original training. The end result is better protection for you and your patient, and soon it should not take you more than fifteen or twenty minutes to complete a thorough history.
Professional expertise and knowledge open the doors to success and protect you and your patient's health and improve the possibility of clearing up sooner. As we proceed, we shall see how these many aspects are intertwined through the accumulation of facts and hands-on knowledge to benefit your patient.
