I'm looking for a good list of questions to ask my patients to help differentiate what their main complaint is

Best Tip
you can ask them what is known as review of systems, good luck

Others
Are you a doctor?
Nurse?
Paramedic?
EMT?

that would help...
I always like a doctor that just said-give me your grocery list & I'll take it from there.
Shouldn't u already learnt that in med school @ in ur practice?
Just asked what is bothing them most of us want to get in and out of dr office or er as fast as possable
The patients seem to be stressed enough just to get to the Dr's office, there is the reception desk the forms to fill out, that generally cover the questions what the problem is, that they came to see the Dr about. and then there are the fees, that are usually quite high, and if the patient has no insurance it makes for a very stressful office visit. Now what about a list of questions on: what did you want to differentiate ?
ask simple questions that pinpoint exactly where the problem is

if it's for nursing-there is a basic assesment you do on all of your patients. starting from head to toe.

ask them things like

-are you have pain? how severe (scale of 1-10)? where is the pain located?

-are you having difficulty breathing? when does it hurt most (breathing in or out, constant pain)?

-feelings of nausea or vomiting? when (all the time,after eating certain foods,etc)?

are you taking any medications? and if yes-which ones....

these questions will help you to pinpoint what the problem is. process of elmination works great too...
