To your embarassment, the general surgeon quickly diagnoses your patient based on history, physical and her abdominal x-ray findings. He suggests you order specific blood work, inserts a nasogastric tube and agrees to follow her with you. He also insists that you go back through your findings and come up with a diagnosis by yourself.
