In this part 1 of 2, learn how the abdominal exam affects our imaging choices, when to call a surgeon, and which classical maneuvers may not be so helpful. You may find it gut-wrenching! In this evidence-based physical exam series, we discuss how to approach abdominal pain with Dr. Andrew Olson (Minnesota), the leader of DX: the Diagnostic Excellence Project. Stay tuned for part 2 with Dr. Olson on subacute and chronic abdominal pain later this week!
