"When did the diarrhea start? Did you eat or drink anything unusual?" Liu Banxia asked after wheeling the patient to the bedside.
"I went out with friends yesterday and had some barbecue. I ate some oysters and scallops, and drank some beer," the girl replied, lowering her head.
"Wow, having kebabs and a bit of beer is usually fine, but seafood and beer together can be quite rough on the stomach," Liu Banxia said.
"Hmm... Let's do a routine blood test and then a stool test. Diarrhea can be caused by many different things. You look a bit weak; do you have any other symptoms?"
The girl shook her head. "No, I've been fine. It was probably just what I ate yesterday. Maybe I also got chilled because it was a bit windy."
"What about your hands? Have they trembled like this before?" Liu Banxia then asked.
