The current front of this card asks for the “likely diagnosis” given postprandial RUQ/shoulder pain resolving within 6 hours, and the back says “Biliary colic.”
However, another card (1707847422183) describes this same presentation as “suggestive of cholelithiasis.”
While biliary colic is caused by cholelithiasis, the correct diagnosis for the described symptom pattern is biliary colic, not cholelithiasis, which refers only to the presence of stones (often asymptomatic).
To avoid conceptual overlap and ensure consistency, this card should either be consolidated with 1707847422183 or reworded to reflect that biliary colic is the symptomatic manifestation of cholelithiasis.
UptoDate: “Overview of gallstone disease in adults” – section on symptomatic cholelithiasis/biliary colic.
First Aid 2024, GI chapter – biliary colic vs cholelithiasis distinction.
The following edit is if the card won't be consolidated:
