Me: Is there any disease that runs in the family?

Patient: Ya some angina.

Me: Your parents?

Patient: Ya mum died of some angina.

Me: Did she have actual heart attacks?

Patient: I think so. Died of heart attack when she was 59.

Me: What about your dad?

Patient: Died of old age.

Me: How old was he?

Patient: I think he was about 85.

Me: Ahh ok. You have other siblings?

Patient: No, no kids.

Me: Oh what about your own siblings, brothers and sisters?

Patient: Nope.

Me: Ah okay you are the only child.

Patient: Ya.
