So there were a bunch that I was wondering about.
1) The question about the older lady that has a several day history of cramping abdominal pain. No history of abd surgery. Xray has air fluid levels. What is most likely diagnosis? Answer choices were adhesive SBO, cecal cancer, gallstone illeus, intussussception, small bowel lymphoma and a few more.
I thought cecal cancer causing an obstruction but wasn't sure...
2) Fever, LLQ abdominal pain, no peritoneal signs, occult blood -, high leukocyte count. What do you do to evaluate? Barium enema, CT, colonoscopy, exploratory laparotomy.
3) A patient overdoses on tylenol suicide attempt, needs a liver transplant and has refractory MDD. Is MDD with a suicide attempt a contraindication to liver transplantation?? I didnt think so but just wanted to make sure since the whole point of the question was to test this.
