Today, we have a 60 year old male patient, with a past medical history of:
- Osteoarthritis
- COPD
- Atrial fibrillation
- Hypertension
- Hyperlipidemia
- Diverticulosis
- Rectal cancer
Chief complaint: 1 day rectal bleeding (episodes every hour) causing them to spend the entire day in the bathroom.
The patient states he's had a similar episode like this years ago. Before we see the patient, we should be asking...
- What is the trend of our patient blood pressure since arrival?
- Is the patient actively bleeding?
- Are they symptomatic (weak, dizzy, lightheaded, etc)?
- What is the access?
We're going to walk through this patient's case together over on our podcast.
