Okay, I know this is a hospital in West Virginia, but I have never had one of my doctors specifically make this comment before. What do ya'll think?

I don't know if it's just my docs, but do you ever hear coffee, two cups per day or tea, or caffeinated beverages? Maybe it's just me. Anyhoo, just means they drink water.

in social history, but somehow I think they try to tie it in with alcoholic beverages, and then they just run with the beverage part. Silly.

KW

In all my years doing MT, I've never heard that!

I was wondering if it meant they had "indoor plumbing." Actually, I wonder if he missed the word "well," as in "well water." The child had severe abdominal pain with vomiting.

KW
That's possible. Could also get "backed up" from lack of H2 (nm)
