Rationale for change

Rectus sheath hematoma has nothing to do with asthma, including this in the card just makes you memorize the related UWorld question instead of the actual pathology.

UWorld qid 15717 also makes no mention of asthma in the question explanation

Extra
- RSH typically occurs due to rupture of the inferior epigastric artery, which supplies blood to the lower aspect of the rectus abdominis muscle

- The rectus sheath, which contains this muscle, does not extend posteriorly below the arcuate line; therefore, bleeding below this line (e.g., lower aspect of rectus abdominis muscle) is relatively uncontained and can result in significant hemorrhage with hematoma formation
