DOCTOR
Your patient describes two syncopal episodes that have occurred in the last three months. The patient has come to see you because he/she is worried that it might happen again. The episodes were not witnessed and you do not know if they were truly syncopal, whether they were convulsions , or even if they were real. You want him/her to see a neurologist.
TASK
* Explain that further investigations are necessary for the diagnosis, and you must do an ECG here in the surgery. You also want to do a CT scan of his/her head and some basic blood tests.
* Convince the patient that he/she should visit a neurologist, as a cautionary measure. Reassure him/her and explain what tests the neurologist will run, including an ECG,
* Without alarming her, insist that he/she needs to make time to see the neurologist. Persuade the patient not to drive until the situation is clear (as any car insurance will not cover the patient in the event of an accident until things are sorted out.
