Good afternoon. Have a seat and tell me what's wrong.
I've had a stomachache for a long time. It started Friday morning.
You've had a stomachache for 4 days and you were only just now coming to the doctor's office? Why did you wait so long?
I didn't think it was serious. I kept thinking it would get better on its own.
And do these stomachaches happen at any particular time?
Yes, every morning, just before lunchtime.
Have you changed your morning routine recently?
Well, I have a new job and I've been skipping breakfast and drinking more coffee.
