The Abdominal Pain Differential Game
“The aim is to operate only when necessary, but not to delay a necessary operation.”
What is it?
This is an activity for groups of 2 or 3 players.
Learning objective: recall the differentials for abdominal pain and the location of the pain
The blank abdomen is available here.
How do I play?
Teams are given a blank abdomen and asked to mark as many differentials for abdominal pain in each area.
Points are awarded for a diagnosis not given by another team (as long as it is assigned to the correct area)
Bonus marks for those who label causes of flank pain.
