What do psychiatric patients, gastroenterologists, Queen Elizabeth I, and prisoners all have in common? If you guessed bezoars, you're correct!
Join Dr. Fred Gandolfo as he delves into two odd and uncommon conditions that gastroenterologists sometimes encounter: Pica, the eating of non-food substances, and bezoars, masses of non-digestible material stuck in the GI tract.
In this episode, Dr. Gandolfo shares a fascinating case study, discusses the treatment of these rare conditions, and explores the blurred lines between psychiatric and medical issues.
Tune in for an informative and entertaining discussion on these medical curiosities!
