Um... can't they test his electrolytes in the office? I don't know why you need to be observing him for so long.
It also seems that, if they think it's dehydration, they should be able to give him some IV fluids and see if the symptoms abate. If they do, problem solved. If not, it must be something else.
What kind of doctor are you seeing? Sports medicine? General practitioner? I'm just wondering if it's someone who typically sees a lot of dehydration and so might be stuck on that diagnosis when there could be something else going on?
