SDSU Divulging Your Musings and Experiences Discussion Responses

Review several of your colleagues’ posts, and respond to at least two of your peers.

The patient has called your office after hours and left a voicemail. In your response, evaluate the message, and share your initial reactions to your prospective patient’s voicemail. Answer the following question in your response:

How would listening to this voicemail make you feel?

Would you want to work with this prospective patient? Why or why not?

Assess your reactions to the voicemail from a sociocultural perspective. What questions are already going through your mind about the patient’s background and mental health?

Evaluate the depiction of the prospective patient by comparing the voicemail to the information from the case study. Did your classmate provide a realistic representation of the patient? What could your classmate have done to make the voicemail sound more realistic based on the information presented in the book?
