Over the next three weeks we are going to dive into the GI bleed patient. We're going to divide these lectures into: upper GI bleed (above the ligament of treitz), lower GI bleed (below the ligament of treitz), and the scary liver patient who has a GI bleed.  Today, let's work through an upper GI bleed case presentation as we touch on the background, evaluation, and management of the patient.  Today we're going to be discussing a 75 year male patient presenting with a chief complaint of 3 days of black stool. He came into the ED because he had a dark bowel movement and dizziness.  Let's walk through this case together so you feel confident evaluating the upper GI bleed patient.  - 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.
