8.12.24

A 66-year-old female was admitted on 6.12.24 with severe abdominal pain and some distension. X-ray showed multiple air-fluid levels.

CT scan the next day showed SBO at mid-level.

Soon after the CT, the patient’s condition had rapidly improved, with resolution of all symptoms. Neither the patient nor her consultant physician wanted surgery, and so had to withhold the knife, and the patient was discharged.
