Genetic testing (family history, asthma, sterile) Cholecystectomy / UDCA Minor duct, pancreatic, biliary sphincterotomy Art of Medicine: discontinue all smoking / alcohol, anti-oxidants, low fat diet, pancreatic enzymes, SL NTG, hand holding Repeat imaging in 3-6 months Sick days Avoidance of Emergency Room PRAYER Page 15 of 19
