This is blumberg not Rovsing.

[@dresdenchickay882]

that's the left side of the patient😂How is the appendix on the left

[@elihu034]

Lo que se busca es "inflar" el ciego al hacer presión en la fosa iliaca izquierda, y esto genera un dolor del lado derecho, donde esta el apéndice

[@sonammz]

it said why in the video. the peritoneum overlies the abdomen. pressure on the left iliac region can be felt on the right iliac region due to irritation from stretched skin, which bothers an already inflamed appendix

when you think you're smart lmao

[@ro73abera1]

False it is Blumberg sign

[@kylemcmenamin3558]

You are incorrect - Blumbergs is a clinical sign for peritonitis, which is defined as rebound tenderness upon the removal of pressure, not the application of pressure.
