HPI
 1 month ago, the patient was seen at an
Urgent Care clinic complaining of a sore
throat
 Denies respiratory symptoms

HPI
 Soon after his Urgent Care clinic visit, the
patient began experiencing progressively
worsening lower extremity edema
 1 week prior to admission, the patient
presented to an outside facility for evaluation
of this edema
