At the Doctor's Office: Roleplay Quest

Roleplay Quest

Individual

Scenario

You are at the doctor's office. One person is the patient, the other is the doctor. The patient describes their symptoms and answers questions. The doctor listens, asks questions, gives a diagnosis, and gives advice using should and shouldn't. The appointment lasts 5 minutes.

  • The Patient

    You have been feeling terrible for three days. You have a bad headache, a sore throat, and you feel very tired. You also have a slight fever. You googled your symptoms and now you are convinced you have a very serious disease.

    Secret goal: Tell the doctor your symptoms. Mention that you searched online and ask if the internet diagnosis is correct. You are a little nervous. Ask if you should stay home from work.

  • The Doctor

    You are an experienced and calm doctor. You see patients like this every day — people who are scared because of what they read online.

    Secret goal: Listen carefully, ask about all symptoms, and give a simple diagnosis (a common cold or flu). Use should and shouldn't at least 5 times. Reassure the patient that the internet diagnosis is wrong. Prescribe rest, water, and paracetamol.
