Step 2 CS mnemonics

[cosine]

Hey guys, I thought it would be a good idea to get some commonly used mnemonics listed in this thread. I'll start off.

The one everyone uses:
PAMHUGFOSSS
pmh.allergies,medications, prior hospitilizations, urogenital sx, GI sx, family history, obgyn hx, surgical history, sexual history, social history

The next one is an extension of it for the social history- SODA TIME
S-smoking
O-occupation
D-diet
A-alcohol
T-travel history
I-Illicit Drug use
M-Married/kids
E-excercise

This next one I just add to the end of SODA TIME to make it SODA TIME SAW
S-sleep
A-appetite
W-weight change

This one is for Diabetes patients
D-Duration of diabetes
I- Infections
A- A1C
B-Blurry vision
E-Extremeties
T-Tingling
I-Infection
S- cardio risk factors( I know it doesnt make sense)

You guys have anything else?
