Prompt: You are a doctor and one of your patients, 18-year-old
Jane, states that she is plagued by nausea, thirst, and amenorrhea. Jane lacks
energy and has difficulty concentrating, although indicates she has been eating
and drinking regularly. Her urinary frequency is high and she looks
underdeveloped for her age.
Based on these
symptoms, choose one disease to diagnose Jane with:
Zollinger-Ellison syndrome
Fanconi syndrome
Swyer syndrome
Through this two-part discussion with your classmates, you
will state your diagnosis, explain the normal anatomy of the system the disease
impacts the most, explain how the disease disrupts this system, and your ideas
for future research, treatment options, etc.
You will then respond to your classmates’ posts to create an
interactive conversation involving debating the diseases, comparing evidence,
adding detail, asking questions, brainstorming treatment ideas, etc.
Please remember that all of these diseases have merit so
keep discussions friendly, or at least civil!
