Part B: Doctor-Patient Role-Play
Below is a short script you could practice in class. Feel free to use or adapt the prompts given in the textbook:
Situation:
- Student A (Patient): Has a headache and does not feel well.
- Student B (Doctor): Provides advice on how to feel better.
Patient (Student A)
• “Hello, Doctor. I have a headache and I don’t feel well. What should I do?”
• “I also have some pain in my back. Do you recommend any medication?”
Doctor (Student B)
• “Hello! First, can you describe your symptoms more clearly?”
• “You should take a short rest and drink plenty of water. Dehydration can worsen headaches.”
• “You may also take mild pain relief medication if it’s safe for you, but be sure to follow the dosage instructions.”
• “Lastly, avoid cold drinks if your throat is sore. Focus on warm liquids or room-temperature water for now.”
Additional Tips:
- Make eye contact and speak clearly to simulate a real doctor-patient conversation.
- You could add more questions about allergies or how the patient feels after following the advice.
By preparing these two sections—one about the girl’s allergies and the other about a doctor-patient dialogue—you can cover the assignment requirements effectively.
