    The note should include the following sections and follow these specific guidelines:
    
    Chief Complaint:
    Summarize the main reason for the patient’s visit in one concise sentence. Use the patient’s own words if available.
    
    History of Present Illness (HPI):
    Write a brief, single-paragraph summary describing the patient’s history of present illness in chronological order. Keep it focused and avoid unnecessary verbosity.
