Episode 4
Join us, in a 2-part series featuring our senior residents, Dr Tan Yu Bin, and Dr Li Huanghuan.
In this episode, we explore the approach towards patients presenting with an upper gastrointestinal bleed (UBGIT). We delve into the clinical and biochemical evaluation, that contribute towards the risk stratification of patients, helping us decide who requires an endoscopy urgently or not.
On a side note, we hope to hear of your methods in determining melena; whether it's through smell, sight, touch, or taste.
