DQ 2
• Due Date: Day 4 [Main] forum
• Post your responses to Part A and Part B:
o Part A: Post as patients. Select any digestive disorder of your choice covered in Ch.
10. What would it be like if you were a patient suffering from the disease? What
symptoms would you be describing to your doctor during an office visit? Post your
answers as if you were a patient. Offer enough information for doctors to narrow
down your condition to one or two disorders, but be vague enough to sound like a
patient without a background in health care. The goal is to challenge your classmates
with diagnosing your digestive disorder. Identify yourself as a patient in the subject
line of your post.
o Part B: Reply as consultants. Put yourself in a health consultant’s shoes. Select
any classmate’s patient post and offer a disease diagnosis. Post the name of the
digestive condition you believe your classmate is suffering from. How would you
describe the impact of the disorder on normal digestive system structures and
functions, as if you were explaining the condition to a patient in an office? What
treatments would you recommend to the patient? Identify yourself as a consultant in
the subject line of your post. You may want to check your own initial patient post and
let your classmates know whether or not they have diagnosed you correctly
