DETAILS

A female adult patient returns to the doctor's office after completing a course of therapy for digestive problems. Despite following the prescribed treatment, her symptoms have not improved. The doctor must now assess why the therapy didn't work, review previous test results, and decide on the next step, which includes performing an endoscopy.
