Specializes in Psychiatry

If you are: hemorrhaging or have severe abdominal pain that warrants immediate evaluation. Bloody diarrhea is also a medical emergency. If you have black, tarry, malodorous stool that is also evidence of GI bleeding. Would definitely get checked w/in 24 hours and if it worsens get emergent eval.
