AT THE DOCTOR: I've got a terrible stomachache

Doctor:Good morning. Please have a seat here. What´s the problem?
Paul Ryefield:I have a terrible stomachache.
Doctor:Do you have diarrhea?
Paul Ryefield:Yes, I do.
Doctor:Do you have any other symptoms?
Paul Ryefield:Yes, I feel sick.
Doctor:You mean you feel nauseous?
Paul Ryefield:That´s right. I feel like vomiting. And right now I feel dizzy, too.
Doctor:When did the symptoms start?
Paul Ryefield:This morning. Yesterday evening I ate something raw.
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.
Paul Ryefield: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.
Paul Ryefield:Can you give me something for the time being?
Doctor:Yes, I´ll give you a prescription for indigestion tablets.
