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. - Subscribe to our YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/medgeeks - Follow us on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/medgeeksinc - Ace your exams: https://learn.medgeeks.co/ - We'd love to hear your feedback: team@medgeeks.co - This podcast should not be used in any legal capacity whatsoever, including but not limited to establishing standard of care in a legal sense or as a basis for expert witness testimony.
