Evan, a GP registrar, begins a consultation by asking the patient about their reason for visiting. The patient reports experiencing diarrhea for the past two to three weeks, noting that prior to this period, they had no issues with bowel movements, typically going every couple of days. During the discussion, the patient describes the diarrhea as frequent but does not notice any changes in color or consistency, apart from the increased frequency. The registrar inquires further about the presence of blood in the stool, with the patient seemingly surprised by the question, indicating it may be a relevant point for their condition.
