Succusion Splash

Patient is a 25 year old chinese student who had just eaten a big meal at marina south steamboat buffet 3 hours ago. He now presents with abdominal distention and the feeling of 'impending doom' about the possible growth of his abdomen.

On abdominal inspection, there was distention observed more on the left than the right. There were no visible masses felt. On palpation, the.... blah blah. On auscultation, bowel sounds were present and succusion splash was heard over the stomach when the patient is rocked side to side.

Hmm... luckily I did not have projectile vomitting..
