Instructions

You are a medical student on placement in general practice. Your next patient is Katerina Vlahos, 14, who has come with her mother, Georgia, because of lower tummy pain that keeps coming back.

  1. Take a focused history from Katerina and her mother

  2. Outline to the examiner:

    • Your most likely diagnosis and differentials
  • You do not need to examine Katerina
  • You do not need to summarise your findings to the examiner
  • The examiner will ask you two questions at the end.
