Question #1
Lab test: Complete Blood count
Serum Lipase, Amylase, Electrolytes
Abdominal Xray, ultrasound of the abdomen
Diagnosis: Age of the patient should be considered too... For pediatrics, we have to rule out Urinary Tract Infection - so urinalysis should be done, Acute Appendicitis should also be considered so CBC must be done... for female of reproductive age... Torsion of ovarian cyst; For elderly... Diverticulitis...

Question #2
Lab tests: EKG, Serum Troponin, CK-MB
CBC, Liver Function Test
USG of Hepato-biliary tree

Diagnosis: T/C Angina Pectoris; R/O Gall Bladder dse.
>>>> M.I. patients can present with fever too....
