Pt endorses diffuse lower abdominal pain w/ associated generalized weakness, nausea, and 3-4 episodes of emesis for the past several hours today. Last BM 6 hrs ago.  He denies fevers, chest pain, dyspnea, cough, or other complaints.  Pt has hx of SBO in July, treated with conservative management and his last BM was today. Has not passed gas since last bowel movement.   In the ED, the provider made multiple attempts to place an NG tube which were unsuccessful and resulted in some mild epistaxis which is since resolved, patient is requesting no additional attempts be made at this time for placement of the NG tube understanding that there is a risk of further obstruction and complications the longer we wait to decompress the stomach including possible aspiration of stomach contents and patient is experiencing vomiting since arriving to the floor however he understands he is concerns and still would like to delay additional attempts to place an NG tube for the time being and and rest in the interim.   As per the ED provider, the Surgeon on call was requested to consult on the patient while in the ED, he agreed to see the patient in the am and recommended admission to medicine in the interim.  I spent greater than 50 minutes in the evaluation and management of this patient with more than 50% of the time spent counseling and/or coordinating care.  I counseled the patient and/or family about the findings, differential diagnoses, my assessment, recommendations, and plan.  I coordinated care with the multidisciplinary healthcare team.
