It's colour edit
The intro. says fresh red blood, while the signs say: Brown or black blood, Blood that looks like coffee grounds!!! how come?!!! --TheEgyptian 12:36, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
- I don't understand the need to say "...looks like coffee grounds when you have in fact, not swallowed coffee grounds." A little redundant. That's what "looks like" means. I don't know. If nobody objects I'll come back and change it in awhile.207.62.143.160 (talk) 08:26, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
- Yes that is a horrible sentence. This article, often, has too many, commas. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.157.146.50 (talk) 11:50, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
I just went through this and yes, it's fresh and brite red w/darker red globs throughout. - FlightTime (open channel) 17:24, 23 June 2023 (UTC)
Symptoms edit
1. Should this go in a new section called Family History or Genetics: A history of excessive alcohol use or liver disease
2A. Any esophogastric symptoms, such as nausea or vomiting 2B. Brown or black vomit 2C. Vomit that looks like coffee grounds
Should 2A, B, and C look something like this:
Any esophogastric symptoms, such as feeling nauseous, having brown or black vomit that looks like coffee grounds, or dark, tar like stools (melena)

Signs edit
I really think this section could be removed entirely. When I first read the article and read the definition (vomiting of blood) followed by the rather redundant "patient is vomiting blood" I laughed quite loudly. Does anyone agree that this should be removed or is i somehow relevant? 2601:2:8900:5AC:58DA:4F9D:4CA:F8ED (talk) 01:13, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
