General selfevaluation of the patient's condition.
What about this phrase, could be it possible it sounds awkward?
Thank's in advance!

If this is the only question regarding the patient's health, I would agree with Kurt that the term "general" is not needed.

: I'd drop the "general." It's probably coming from the Russian "îáùèé" and is meaningless in this context. I guess it would depend on what word it's modifying.

I think it may have value if it is in opposition to a more specific question - how do you feel today? or a specific type of pain, for example

: I suppose Doroteja means that in Russian source `general' means describing it in general terms (like `good', `bad' or `very bad') without any details on what exactly is wrong with his/her condition :)

I was only speculating that there might be additional questions (specific and general questions) - thanks

: "the patient's evaluation of his/her own (general/overall) condition" is how we might more usually say it, isn't it?
