In this video, I discuss how to diagnose appendicitis. I'm going to distill down the things that I believe are important in diagnosing appendicitis. This is not a comprehensive lecture on appendicitis but I'm going to share what I've found useful in my practice over the last 15 years when diagnosing appendicitis. Let's get to it!

Great job. Might have to take my wife to the e.r. pain started 3 days ago has just gotten worse. She can lay on left side and not be in huge pain. She is refusing to go right now (football is on) maybe later. The info on the appendix being to the back of the coecum is great info. Thanls

13:03 mine was retrocecal, and this was true for me! I didn’t have fever/chills, ER doc seemed like she suspected something else until ultrasound confirmed it. The ultrasound tech had a bit of trouble finding it, and apparently my surgeons didn’t get the memo so they had to make an impromptu 4th incision for my laparoscopic surgery 😆

Hi. Do you think a UA and bloodwork should be done if a female patient comes in complaining of abdominal cramps?Or a CT scan/ultrasound?
