I have a question, for the nurses. My cousin has just phoned me in tears, she has been having awful stomach pains for weeks and she has had all the usual tests done, and apparently the Doctors can not find what is causing the pain. However, my cousin told me that they said that they are going to do some more tests (she didn't say what ones) and that one of the doctors said that they are looking for 'something nasty' in her stomach.
Now I don't mean to sound unkind about my cousin and I am very fond of her, but she does tend to be a bit of a drama queen.........my question is this: Would a Doctor actually tell a patient that they are 'looking for something nasty' whilst trying to determine the cause of a patient's pain? Thank you. Violet.
