Testing

By tomorrow here is the list of GI diseases I must master:
  • Acute GI Bleed and what causes it
  • GERD (Reflux disease for you non-medical people.)
  • Peritonitis
  • Hernia's
  • GI Obstructions
  • Gastritis
  • Ulcers
  • Inflammatory Bowel Disease--Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn's
  • Diverticulosis/Diverticulitis (Evidently there are differences between the two.)
  • Appendicitis
  • Hepatitis
  • Cirrhosis
  • Cholelithiasis/Cholecystitis (Again there are differences between these two. I may settle for just pronouncing them correctly.)
  • Pancreatitis
So, now I'm really quite concerned about this list. I'm going back to studying. See you on the flip side.
