Take Home Points
- Walk in – decide sick/not sick
- Do I need help now? If so, call in the troops
- Stable – start asking questions – A LOT OF THEM
- Investigate – reach out to family, bystanders, EMS, PMD, pharmacy
- Perform a head to toe exam – check the jiblets and scan the bladder for retention
- Cast a wide net of tests, this is no the time to be stingy with your orders
- Never discharge if their not back to their baseline
