Mrs Jamie Smyth has come in. She is wanting to know what some of the medical words are in the letter. She is very on to it and likes to know what is going on.
Your instructions for the role play:
Go through the letter with her and identify the case history items, the medications and the test results.
She has trouble with pronouncing a couple of the terms and you need to clarify how to say them in the conversation.
