Good Morning Doctor, I’m concerned about my mum who can’t keep any food or drink down and vomits after every intake. This has worsened over the last 3 weeks, and she has kept down hardly any food or drink. Her doctor has scheduled an endoscopy for Sunday 7th May, but I’m unsure if she should go without food and drink until then or if she should be on a drip for fluids. Additionally, she has Diverticulitis and takes blood pressure tablets and folic acid. Is she okay to wait until the endoscopy, or should she seek immediate medical attention?

I have a large, dark red-purple bruise on my buttock that has been there for about a month and doesn't seem to be changing. I don't know how it happened. I am 73 years old and overweight. Has the redness been stable or getting worse? Are you currently using any medications, either for the redness or anything else? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?

I had a stomach ache today after dinner. I had a few episodes of diarrhea, which were basically yellow liquid. I've seen online that yellow diarrhea could be a problem with my liver/pancreas, or even cancer. Is this a health concern?
