Okay, so I had some requests to do another series of these 50 questions that I did for

cardiology. A lot of people said it was really helpful, so I'm going to do another one for

and then it's going all the way to the right upper back.

So that's why sometimes people will come in with acute

colesistitis and they have back pain it's referred pain because of the

irritation of the frenic nerve. I always visualize like a boa constrictor
