Patient’s Story
Opening Statement: “Hi doctor, I’ve noticed some blood in my urine for the past few days, and I’m really worried about what it could mean.”
You are Damian, a 25-year-old man who has noticed visible blood in your urine over the last three days. You have had no pain, burning, or other urinary symptoms. You are not sexually active and do not believe you are at risk of sexually transmitted infections.
Only say the following if asked:
You had a sore throat about two weeks ago, but it resolved completely on its own. You went to a walk-in centre yesterday where they tested your urine and found both blood and protein. They advised you to follow up with your GP, which is why you have booked this appointment.
Social History: You do not smoke, drink alcohol, or use recreational drugs. You work as a builder.
Ideas: You are unsure what might be causing the blood.
Concerns: You were not initially worried, but your mum mentioned it could be something serious like cancer, which has made you anxious.
Expectations: You want the GP to explain what is causing the blood in your urine and to advise you on what happens next.
Say NO to any other questions asked outside of the details already provided in the scenario. Accept anything offered to you by the doctor.
