What some students in my university think about irritable bowel syndrome
New worst email from the uni - 'Do you have irritable bowel syndrome?'. Who the hell even let that be sent out?!” “Who even gives these morons access to a computer”
“Do I have irritable bowel syndrome? Hahahahaha”
![Page 12: What's in a name? IBS Network 25th Anniversary Event 16 April 2016](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58a7977f1a28ab5f6c8b62b1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
What the Royal College of Physicians think doctors should say to patients with IBS
“I have examined you thoroughly and cannot find anything wrong …”
“I am pleased to say that I do not think there is anything terrible going on here”
“This is good news …”
“You do not have a serious disorder such as cancer”

What do IBS patients say they want more than reassurance or even
possibly more than a cure?

Provocation one: A change of name will not improve the health of people living with irritable bowel syndrome. A change in attitudes will.
Question one: How can we change attitudes surrounding IBS?
![Page 21: What's in a name? IBS Network 25th Anniversary Event 16 April 2016](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58a7977f1a28ab5f6c8b62b1/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Provocation two: The Royal College of Physicians does not understand patients with irritable bowel syndrome.
Question two: How can we encourage the Royal College of Physicians to train junior doctors to treat IBS as a serious condition?
![Page 22: What's in a name? IBS Network 25th Anniversary Event 16 April 2016](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58a7977f1a28ab5f6c8b62b1/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Provocation three: Modern medicine is preoccupied with curing diseases and is not inclusive of people living with chronic syndromes.
Question three: How can practitioners and patients collaborate to create a healthcare system that is more inclusive of people living with IBS?
