Talking about something a bit rare today because of a Px I clerked today, to raise awareness on rare conditions 

Ectopic Pancreas
An ectopic pancreas is a condition where pancreatic tissue is found outside its normal location in the abdomen, typically in the stomach (in the case I saw the pyloric antrum)

Risk Factors:
Genetics: Family history of pancreatic disorders.
Underlying Conditions: Presence of other gastrointestinal disorders may increase risk.

Symptoms:
Abdominal Pain: Discomfort or pain in the stomach area.
Nausea/Vomiting: Digestive issues that may arise.
Gastrointestinal Bleeding: In severe cases, bleeding in the digestive tract.
Depending on the location might present with symptoms of Gastric outlet obstruction 

Prevention:
Routine Screening: For those with a family history or symptoms, regular check-ups can help with early detection.
Healthy Lifestyle: Maintaining a healthy diet and avoiding excessive alcohol consumption may reduce risk factors related to pancreatic health.

One of the hardest challenges to solve in the healthcare system is educating healthcare providers, from generalists to specialists.

When we can't see well, our first stop is often the optometrist.

Yet, if you are an elderly patient, the optometrist may not realize that the issue isn't your glasses.

Instead, it's retina damage, detectable only with equipment found in ophthalmologists' offices.

Even then, your ophthalmologist may mistake it for wet macular degeneration, instead of rarer forms of macular damage.

Only when you get to see a retina specialist you find out that you actually have geographic atrophy. There are new treatment options and luckily the retina specialist knows about them. 

But what about all the healthcare providers before that? Would they know to refer the patient right away?

Companies in the healthcare industry are constantly solving for patient referral pathway issues. Identifying healthcare provider touchpoints beyond the final specialist helps patients get to the care they need.
