I have a terrible stomachache.
D:
Do you have diarrhea?
P:
Yes, I do.
D:
Do you have any other symptoms?
P:
Yes, I feel sick.
D:
You mean you feel nauseous?
P:
That´s right. I feel like vomiting. And right now I feel dizzy, too.
D:
When did the symptoms start?
P:
This morning. Yesterday evening I ate something raw.
D:
All right. Please take off your clothes to the waist and lie down there. ... Just tell me if it hurts when I do this.
P:
It doesn´t hurt. ... Ouch. It hurts there.
D:
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.

Can you give me something for the time being?
D:
Yes, I´ll give you a prescription for indigestion tablets.
