You are working for Dr. Charles Green, a gastroenterologist at BSC Medical Center. Your patient is Mrs. Judy Keith, a 42-year-old female with a 3-week history of spasmodic diarrhea. She reports no significant change in her diet but has been under more stress recently at work. She was last seen in your office two years ago with the working diagnoses of gastritis and GERD. She had been doing well using the prescribed Omeprazole 20mg once per day up until 3 weeks ago. In addition to the diarrhea, she reports occasional blood in her stool. After Mrs. Keith is examined by Dr. Green, he recommends performing a colonoscopy with possible intestinal biopsy if any abnormal tissue is found. He also wants to set up an EGD test to be done 2-3 days after the colonoscopy.
