Diagnostics

Initial Assessment

Initial Impression: Suspected Acute Cholecystitis or Biliary Colic
Justification for F3 Classification:
- Significant abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting suggest a gastrointestinal issue
- Patient is conscious and alert, not exhibiting signs of immediate life threat
- Time-sensitive condition requiring medical evaluation, but not an immediate emergency

Differential Diagnoses:
1. Acute Cholecystitis (high probability given history of gallstones)
2. Biliary Colic (high probability given pain characteristics)
3. Pancreatitis (possible, but less likely without reported alcohol use)
4. Gastritis/Peptic Ulcer Disease (possible, but less likely given pain severity)

Required Actions:
- Dispatch of ground EMS with basic life support capabilities
- Pain management protocols initiation
- Preparation for transport to the nearest hospital for further evaluation and imaging

Final Diagnosis
