Name of Patient:
Mrs Joan Smith
Description of the patient & instructions to simulator:
Mrs S is a 72 year old lady who has a history of osteoarthritis and hypertension, for which she takes Paracetamol and Ramipril.
You have noticed a painless lump in your left breast and are worried that you have cancer. You will not divulge this information or your concerns until you feel comfortable with the doctor or are directly asked specifically about any concerns/worries you may have. You have put this off for a long time for fear of what the diagnosis might be.
The lump is hard and has been present for the last few months, it seems to be getting bigger, now over an inch in size. You have also notified that your nipple has turned inwards. No skin changes and no lumps in neck or armpits
You have booked an appointment and have decided to see if the doctor is 'nice' using an 'entry ticket' of a niggly pain in your left side of your chest following a minor fall over the dog in the sitting room yesterday. You do not have a cough, no haemoptysis, no sob.
You will look and act worried.
You live alone and are usually independent. Your husband died of cancer 2 years ago and you were his main carer. No children. Non-smoker. Drinks very little alcohol.
You don’t smoke or drink alcohol
Your sister was previously diagnosed with breast cancer and had a mastectomy and radiotherapy.
Opening line ‘It’s my chest doctor, I think I banged it and would like it checking out’.
Ideas = it’s breast cancer
Concerns – it’s breast cancer
Expectations – mastectomy and radiotherapy
