Common Limitations or Challenges
This transcript represents *one* possible patient interaction. It does not encompass all potential GI complaints or assessment pathways. It is a simulation, and therefore lacks the nuances of a real-life clinical setting. It is a record *of* an assessment, not a guide *for* performing one.
