You are by the side of an 80-year-old male whose wife called EMS because he had tearing-type abdominal pain. He states that he was just discharged from the hospital this morning after being treated for gastroenteritis. When questioned further he states that he remains nauseated but the medications for the vomiting and diarrhea seem to be working, as he is not experiencing either of them anymore. Since he was just in the hospital, he states that he would like to refuse transport and continue his recovery at home. Your response would be:
A) I agree that the medications are working, but be safe and call you family doctor.
B) I don't know; your symptoms don't seem to be related to gastroenteritis.
C) I think you are right about getting better; it is up to you if you want to go back.
D) I am not comfortable with this; it sounds as if your gastroenteritis is not any better.
