Hey guys, I'd really appreciate if you could help me figure this out.
So basically, a few months ago I got to shadow an ER physician. We saw a patient who he diagnosed as having Boerhaave syndrome. One of the things he pointed out was that upon palpation, the patient's neck felt very rough and spongy. He used a specific word to describe the neck and I've completely forgotten what it was. I'd like to use it in my personal statement so if anyone knows, please tell me! I'd greatly apprecaite it. Thanks in advance.
