is a specialized literary form in which the physician writes an account of the perceptions and events supplied by the patient or other informants.

COMPLAINTS
The physician needs to know the exact circumstances of the appearance, exent,and duration of the symptoms. Further questioning develops details of the health of the patient’s family,his habits and lifestyle,and his previous medical experiences.
Finally, the physician asks a series of questions about each of the body systems such as the heart ,lungs , stomach,etc.
CHIEF COMPLAINTS
The history of symptoms begins with the chief complaints , abbreviated CC. These should consist of a list of one or more symptoms that caused the patient to seek attention .

Symptoms
The word symptom is derived from a Greek word meaning "something that has befallen one." A symptom is usually considered to be an abnormal sensation that is perceived by the patient , in contrast to a physical sign that can be seen , felt,or heard by the examiner.
Time and circumstances of onset Characters of symptoms Cause of diease Duration and development Concomitant symptoms Treament General data: consciousness ,weight loss ,urine, bowel Movement,etc
Question the patient until sufficient details are obtained to categorize the symptom. Do not accept vague complaints such as "I don't feel well. " If the patient complains of weakness , ascertain if she is weak in one or more muscle groups or if she experiences lassitude , malaise,or myalgia.
When a patient says she is dizzy inquire if she feels weak and unstable or if her surroundings seem to whirl about,as in vertigo. Determine whether dyspnea occurs at rest or with exertion.
