Why Your Belly Hurts and How Likely it is to K*ll You

📚Lecture: "Why Your Tummy Hurts and How Likely it is to K*ll You"
🎤Speaker: Emily Gubski (General Surgery Resident at the Ottawa Hospital)

In this lecture, we are going to explore abdominal pain, the most common "no-big-deal" causes, common "oh-shit-that-may-be-a-big-deal" causes, and how to tell which it is. We will explore which symptoms make us not really concerned about you and which symptoms tell us you should be in the emergency department, like, now.
*This talk is for educational purposes and is not specific medical advice. If you are worried about your abdominal pain please seek personal medical care*
