THE NUMBERS TELL THE REAL STORY | EPISODE 1
Doctor VO: Good to see you, Sarah. It’s been 3 months on treatment for your IBS with constipation. How are your symptoms?
Patient VO: Better. My bowel symptoms have improved, but I still have belly pain.
Doctor VO: “Better” is vague. I need to quantify her treatment response.
OK Sarah, in the past 7 days, how many days with pain?
Patient VO: I’d say that I’ve had pain 5 out of the past 7 days. So, most of the time. Being asked about the last week made me realize how much I’m still dealing with lingering symptoms.
Doctor VO: 1 to 10, with 10 being worst pain?
Patient VO: Most days are about a 6.
Doctor VO: Without quantifying frequency and level of severity, I wouldn’t have recognized Sarah is still struggling with abdominal pain. “Better” doesn’t tell me what she is still experiencing.
Patient VO: Six out of 10 on most days with stabbing pain and feeling like I have a bowling-ball in my gut.
Doctor VO: Sarah, with pain at a 6 most days…you may not be getting the relief you want. Since the causes of IBS-C may be different for each person, we may have to try different medications to find the one that’s right for you.
Patient VO: I guess I just settled. I didn’t know more relief was possible. It felt like having something—even if it wasn’t really what I wanted—was better than having nothing.
Doctor VO: There are other treatments that work a bit differently to help address what’s still bothering you. How do you feel about trying something different?
Patient VO: I guess I didn’t know it could be any better than this? I’m open to change, but also a bit nervous to go back to square 1, you know?
Doctor VO: We spoke a little bit about how this medication works and the possible side effects. I will give you more information to read. If you’re ready to try something different—I can send a script through today.
Patient VO: Great, I’m glad I’m getting more information—I guess I just got used to the relief from my current treatment. Good thing you asked me.
ON SCREEN/SUPER: You don’t have to settle for feeling just okay.
