Cholesterol Results and Instruction
Nancy Jones, Registered Nurse
Hello Bill. We have your test results back and your cholesterol levels are high.
Diet and exercise have helped lower your levels, but not enough. Dr. Harris ordered a prescription for Atorvastatin (Lipitor). We want to recheck your levels in one month. I set a reminder for the follow up.
I also selected three patient education links for you. If you have any questions, please send me a message or call (215-555-5555, Ext. 5)

Follow Up:
