Welcome back to ClerkCast!

Episode 3 – Abdominal Pain

ClerkCast Episode 3 is all about abdominal pain.

Key takeaways from this episode include:

1. Thinking outside the GI tract for patients with abdominal pain
2. The importance of a good physical exam
3. What type of imaging is best for your patient? Hint: it depends!
4. How to consult your inpatient colleagues (P-I-Q-U-E-D).

The physician helping us out this week is Dr. Rakesh Gupta, an R5 in Emergency Medicine at McMaster University. On top of his clinical training Dr. Gupta has completed a Masters in Quality Improvement from the University of Toronto and is currently studying for his Royal College exam later this year.
