### Patient: Doctor, I've been feeling really weak, and I've noticed that my mouth is constantly dry. Also, I've been slurring my words a lot, and I've been retaining a lot of fluid. What could be causing this?
### Doctor: Based on your symptoms, it's likely that you have aplastic anemia. This is a rare condition that occurs when your body stops producing enough red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. The fluid retention and weakness can be a result of the lack of red blood cells, while the slurring and dry mouth can be due to the lack of white blood cells. We need to perform some tests to confirm the diagnosis.
