AMA 


The patient refused further evaluation and treatment and elected to leave against medical advice.  The patient had no altered level of consciousness and no signs of intoxication.  The patient's judgment capabilities were intact.  The patient understands their current condition and treatment and was able to communicate their choices clearly. The patient was counseled that by leaving AMA and refusing further evaluation and treatment, there is risk that includes but is not exclusive of worsening illness,  permanent disability and/or death. Patient indicates understanding and was encouraged to return to the Emergency Department as soon as possible for further evaluation and management, and for any signs of deteriorating or worsening condition. 


Patient still offered every available resource for treatment of the medical condition, I answered all the patient's questions and offered care at any time if the patient chooses to return. I have also recommended that the pt follow up with their primary care provider within 24 hours for further evaluation and care.
