AB Abdominal  pain  is  one  of  the  most  common  complaints  encountered  in  the  acute  care  setting.  Undifferentiated  abdominal  pain  can  be  one  of  the  most  challenging  conditions  that  a  physician  encounters  on  a  daily  basis.  The  decision  regarding  which  labs  or  radiological  tests  to  order  can  be  frustrating  and  often  unrevealing.  Particularly  in  elderly  patients,  a  difficult  history  and  often  inaccurate  and  changing  physical  examination  can  complicate  the  decision-making  process.
