Featuring Dr. Margherita Mascolo & Dr. Gillian Lashen of ACUTE Center for Eating Disorders.
Patients with anorexia and bulimia present to the Emergency Department with a multitude of vague complaints. It is crucial for Emergency Department physicians to recognize that such complaints stem from an underlying eating disorder to understand the pathophysiology behind such complaints. This, in turn, will lead to appropriate management of patient symptoms, which can often be complex for the provider and stressful for the patient. This session will give providers the tools they need to advocate for appropriate care and keep their patients out of the cycle of ineffective, repeated Emergency visits.
