A 65 YO pаtient hаd experienced blооd in his stоols, or melenа, for the past several days. Over the past 12 hours, the bleeding had increased, and the patient felt very weak and dizzy, and he was admitted to the hospital by his PCP. The patient was known to have diverticulosis of his colon, and his PCP assumed the bleeding was a result of diverticulitis. The patient was advised to have a colonoscopy and an EGD, and he agreed. The colonoscopy was performed, and the patient was found to have diverticulosis, but no diverticulitis was noted. However, there was an area of erosion, ulceration, and bleeding seen in the duodenum during the EGD exam. A biopsy of the duodenum was taken during the EGD. The physician documented the diagnoses as acute duodenal ulceration with hemorrhage and diverticulosis of the colon. The PCP also documented the patient's diagnosis of HTN and COPD with a past history of smoking for 40 years, quit 5 years ago.
