Welcome. My name is Devine. This is episode 489 of the Divine Intervention

podcasts. In to these podcasts we're going to be addressing a topic I like to

call the clutch, I guess I'll call this the clutch esophagus podcast.

The clutch esophagus podcast.

The esophagus and its pathologies those are are things that the USMLis love to test.

So I think that's something we should hit and hit hard.

Again, you can go endlessly specific on this stuff, but you don't need to.

Okay, so we're gonna hit up what's really important to know for your exams.

But again, if you understand what's in this podcast,

most of the suffered cost-related questions you'll see you should be able to knock them right out of the park.

So what if they give you a question about a 25-year-old male and you're told that he just had an EGD and a sofa go

gastrodotototenoscopy and right now for the past you know we had it like

maybe a few hours ago and that for the past you know we had it like maybe a few hours ago and that for the last

two three hours has been having shortness of breath, fevers, chills, severe

chest pain and it tells you that it almost has like this chest

pin that is coming in waves almost every few seconds and then they tell you that

on imaging you see an increased diameter of the thoracic

cavity. They just throw it to you like that. When you see something like that, what should you be thinking about?

I'll really hope you're saying divine. Like this guy's esophagus is perforated.

Sounds like this guy has an exploded esophagus. This is not a good thing, right? This person has an esophageal preparation.

And again, this question I just give you has essentially giving you some of the key

antecedents, you maycedents you exams, right?
