Diagnostics

Initial Assessment

Initial Impression: Suspected Renal Colic/Kidney Stone
Justification for F2 Classification:
- Severe pain requiring prompt assessment and pain management
- Potential for complications if untreated
- Patient's history of kidney stones increases the likelihood of this diagnosis

Differential Diagnoses:
1. Renal Colic (high probability given history and symptoms)
2. Appendicitis (less likely given location of pain)
3. Diverticulitis (less likely given no fever)
4. Aortic Aneurysm (lower probability but must be considered)

Required Actions:
- Dispatch of ground EMS with ALS capabilities
- Pain management protocols initiation
- Monitoring of vital signs and patient's level of consciousness
- Preparation for transport to nearest hospital with urology services
