A: Where are you feeling the pain? B: I can't stand up! My stomach is killing me! A: Can you put your hand where it hurts the most? B: It hurts smack in the middle of my gut! A: Did this just come on suddenly? B: I felt OK until an hour or so ago, and then I just doubled over. A: Have you exercised strenuously or played sports recently? B: No, and I don't usually get a lot of stomachaches. A: We need to get you to an emergency room to see what the problem is. B: I think that that is the best way to figure out what is causing this. Thank you.
