Brother, oh brother

My brother has been having quite severe stomach pain for the past 1 1/2 weeks. It's like a combination of gastric, gas, sharp pain and cramps. He's seen the doctor 3 times already, but none of the medications seem to work.

My sister's friend who's a doctor says he should get a referral from the clinic and get a scope done at the hospital tomorrow. It might be a stomach ulcer or (hopefully not) something more severe, made worse by the fact that he's stressed out from final exams and working on his thesis.

I hope he'll be ok :(
