Diagnostics

Initial Assessment

Initial Impression: Suspected Acute Abdominal Pain of Unclear Origin, possibly Renal Colic or Bowel Obstruction.
Justification for F2 Classification:
- Severe pain level (9/10) indicating significant underlying pathology.
- Associated symptoms of nausea, sweating, and dizziness suggest potential for deterioration.
- History of kidney stones raises suspicion for renal colic, but other causes must be considered.
- Time-sensitive condition requiring prompt medical evaluation and pain management.

Differential Diagnoses:
1. Renal Colic (high probability given past history)
2. Bowel Obstruction (possible given severity and constant nature of pain)
3. Acute Appendicitis (less likely given location of pain)
4. Diverticulitis (possible but less likely)
5. Pancreatitis (less likely but must be considered)

Required Actions:
- Dispatch of ground EMS with ALS capabilities.
- Pain management protocols initiation.
- Preparation for transport to nearest hospital with surgical capabilities.
