A 27-year-old man presents to the ED with a 2-day history of hyperemesis with hematemesis. He complains of worsening epigastric pain, diarrhea, and myalgia. On examination, the patient is severely dehydrated and agitated, with tenderness to palpation noted in the upper chest and neck. The patient drank 21 cans of beer 3 days ago; his history reveals that he has vomited 30 times in the past 24 hours.
