I went to a weeding last Saturday, it was incredible, and the bride, the decoration, the music, and the food everything was simply great, fantastic...
But today I feel horrible, I had a headache, stomachache, all my body hurts, that’s why I had to go to see a doctor this morning... This was our conversation.
| Doctor: | Good morning. Please have a seat. What’s the problem? |
| Patient: | I have a terrible stomachache. I think the food that I ate last weekend made me feel bad.
|
| Doctor: | Do you have diarrhea? |
| Patient: | Yes, I do. |
| Doctor: | Do you have any other symptoms? |
| Patient: | Yes, I feel sick and headache. |
| Doctor: | You mean you feel nauseous? |
| Patient: | That’s right. I feel like vomiting. And right now I feel tired, too. |
| Doctor: | When did the symptoms start? |
| Patient: | Last night. |
| Doctor: | All right. Please take off your clothes to the waist and lie down there. ... Just tell me if it hurts when I do this. |
| Patient: | It doesn’t hurt. ... Ouch. It hurts there. |
| Doctor: | Okay. Let’s hope it’s just indigestion, but we’ll need to run some diagnostic tests to be sure. We’ll run a blood test and we’ll also need a urine sample. Do you have any history of stomach problems, like ulcer or colon? |
| Patient: | No. Only my appendix was taken out five years ago. Can you give me something for the time being? |
| Doctor: | Yes, I’ll give you a prescription for indigestion tablets. |
| Patient: | Thanks and I see you soon. |
