W: | Good morning, Mr. Hutchinson. I'm Dr. Hawkins. What brings you to the emergency room? |
M: | I've got terrible pains in my belly. And I feel like I'm going to throw up all the time. |
W: | How long have you had the pain? |
M: | It started last night, up here but this morning it's here, and it really hurts. |
W: | How was it last night? |
M: | The pain came and went, and I managed to get a little sleep, but now it's really killing me. It's been here for the past four or five hours. |
W: | How has your appetite been? |
M: | Oh, gee, I haven't eaten a thing since yesterday. I just couldn't stand to look at food. |
W: | Are your bowel movements regular? |
M: | I usually have one every day, but this time I haven't had one for two days. |
W: | Have you had any diarrhea? |
M: | No. |
W: | How about your nausea and vomiting? |
M: | Last night I was vomiting about every two hours. |
W: | Point with your finger where it hurts the most. |
M: | Right here. |
W: | Does it help if you lie still? |
M: | Yes, it does. |
W: | Please take off your clothes and put this sheet over you. I'll come back in a minute. |
