Dr Hunt talked to us about how doctors diagnose and treat illnesses. We worked together to cure an virtual person. This involved looked at questioning, examination and investigations like endoscopy, stool tests and blood tests. We diagnosed the patient with a stomach ulcer and decided on a course of treatment. For him this entailed a course of antibiotics and stopping both smoking and heavy drinking.
Dr Lewis- Barned also visited us along with her 11 month old son. She talked about how babies grow and develop and how doctors check on children’s health and developmental milestones
