    Dear Ms Kork,
    Re: Ms Caly John, 80-years-old

    I am writing to update information regarding the current health status of Ms Caly John who
    requires continuing care and management at your facility. She is recovering from stroke and
    she is being discharged today.

    Ms John was admitted to hospital on 16 April, 2019 after a syncope episode, dizziness and
    palpitation. Her ECG showed tach-brady syndrome. Therefore, pacemaker implantation was
    done on 17 April, 2019. After two days, she had a stroke and a MRI revealed acute ischemia,
    which was treated with thrombolysis. She has been commenced on Aspirin, 75 mg, with her
    regular medication.

    Presently, she has comprehensive improvement; however, her speech is slurred.

    It would be greatly appreciated if you could arrange aid for activities of daily living, kindly
    contact physiotherapist for continuing exercise. Please contact occupational therapist for home
    rearrangement such as rail. It is important to inform speech and language therapist visit for
    every week to check her eating and drinking regime. Please remember to add thickener in all
    drinks until advised by speech and language therapist.

    Please do not hesitate to contact me for any queries.

    Yours sincerely,

    Registered nurse
