Abstract
A 12 year old girl presents to the emergency department with “tummy ache”. The history and examination are suggestive of appendicitis. You call the surgical team but they are unable to attend for one hour as they are busy in theatre. You wonder if giving analgesia will affect the accuracy of the surgical diagnosis.Keywords
