Counsel an adolescent and her family on a new Turner syndrome diagnosis — OSCE

OSCE communication and shared decision-making station: explaining to a 13-year-old girl and her parents what a new Turner syndrome diagnosis means, what the karyotype found, what the growth-hormone and oestrogen management involves, why the aortic surveillance is lifelong, what the fertility implications are, and how the family can support her — while addressing the parents' grief, the adolescent's anxiety about being different, and the temptation to defer fertility and cardiac conversations because she is young.
