I was taught by a computer game that it's diagnosed by palpating the four quadrants of the abdomen and doing an ultrasound. A lot of the decoy cases were just gas; hold for observation until they fart it out.
This wasn't in the game, but I presume it may also be necessary to do a pregnancy test (ectopic?), urinalysis for urinary tract infection, swabs for genital tract infection, blood draw for white blood cell count, and maybe look for other bowel conditions, kidney stones, gallstones, clots, torsions, cysts, or diverticula with the ultrasound.

- logfromblammo 8y agoThat was it, I think. I could even do the aortal aneurysm surgery without killing the patient. And my boss hardly even yelled at me for mistakes. It came in a bundle with Beyond the Black Hole, which came with 3D glasses that worked with CRT monitors. The feelies for L&D included a surgical mask. Maybe it came with Chessmaster, too?

- conanbatt 8y agoI was 13 when I had it. I had a high fever and puking out an entire day. When I went to the doctor, i think he didnt even look at my face: just poked my abdomen. Even I understood immediately it was appendicitis.
