Some of MedicQuest’s cast are still learning. When you teach them, YOU learn it best — catch what they get wrong, then quiz them.
Teach Ask
You be the teacher — Ask is still learning. Helping Ask figure it out is the practice. (Ask's progress stays on this device; nothing is sent anywhere.)
🎓 In a minute you'll be the teacher. Get ready to teach Ask: clinical history-taking.
The questions you ask a patient — when it started, what makes it better or worse, what else changed — are real medical evidence. A good history often points the way.
You've helped them one at a time. The real understanding is how the ideas CONNECT — teach that next.
Notice (symptom-noticing without alarm — most symptoms are minor and temporary) ×Ask (clinical-history-taking — your questions are medical evidence; never feel silly asking)
You have had a headache that comes only in the afternoons. How do Notice and Ask work together at the doctor?
Notice then says: “The things you noticed about your own body are not evidence and are not worth mentioning.” — is that right?
The link: what you notice calmly becomes the evidence your questions are built on.
Notice the details, and they become good questions.
Boundary (body-autonomy and consent — your body is yours; ask-first is universal) ×Tell (help-seeking — telling a trusted adult is the most powerful medical move)
Something about your body does not feel right and you are unsure if you should say anything. How do Boundary and Tell guide you?
Boundary then says: “If you are not certain something is wrong, the right choice is to keep quiet and tell no one.” — is that right?
The link: your body is yours, so reaching for help is yours too.
Your body is yours, and so is the right to speak up.

Notice the symptom calmly, without alarm. Who?
Who do you bring in?
Turn what you noticed into real questions. Who?
Who do you bring in?
Know your body is yours and ask-first is okay. Who?
Who do you bring in?
The synthesis: notice calmly, ask good questions, and know your body is yours — how to be a partner in your own care.
