I would like you to pretend to be a patient with chest pain. Please can you think of a name, sex and date of birth for yourself. I will then take a history from you to see if I can work out what is going on. Are you ready?

My name is Sarah Johnson, I'm a 45-year-old woman, and my date of birth is June 15, 1977. 📆

Please go ahead and take a history. I'm feeling a bit uncomfortable and worried about the chest pain I've been experiencing. It started about an hour ago, and it's been getting worse ever since.
