A Case of Red Retching?

Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: This piece features a 14-year-old young man who presented with epigastric pain and bright red emesis. His father brought both a photo and sample of the vomitus, which guided initial management in one direction, and then on closer inspection, diverted his diagnostic trajectory. Through a traditional case report and accompanied image and prose, we explore how we process and reinterpret visual data to help guide our management of hematemesis.
