Scenario: This dialogue takes place in a doctor’s office between an English-speaking doctor and a patient who is preparing for a colonoscopy. The doctor provides instructions on how to get ready for the procedure.
GP: Good morning. Please take a seat. How are you feeling today?
Mr. Wang: Morning, doctor. I’ve been having some bleeding, especially after passing stools. It’s been concerning me.
GP: I see. Based on your symptoms, I recommend you get a colonoscopy to understand the cause of the bleeding. It will allow us to check for anything unusual in your bowel.
Mr. Wang: A colonoscopy? What do I need to do to prepare for that?
GP: You’ll need to prepare your bowel beforehand to ensure clear results. A pharmacist can provide you with an over-the-counter solution to help with that. It will involve taking a special drink to cleanse your system. They’ll guide you through the steps.
Mr. Wang: How long will it take to prepare?
GP: It usually requires fasting for 48 hours before the procedure. This means no food during that time, just clear liquids. Your pharmacist will confirm everything you need to do.
Mr. Wang: Going 48 hours without food? That must be really tough to handle.
GP: I understand it can be a challenge, but it’s essential for the procedure to be accurate. The pharmacist will give you advice on what you can drink to stay hydrated.
Mr. Wang: Okay, I’ll follow the instructions carefully. When do we schedule the colonoscopy?
GP: Once you’re ready, we can schedule it. I’ll send a referral to the clinic. Make sure to follow the bowel prep instructions properly, and let me know if you have any questions along the way.
Mr. Wang: I definitely will, thank you for taking the time to explain, doctor.
GP: You’re very welcome. Let me know if you need anything else.
