Take Home Points

Emergency medicine revolves around the differential diagnosis
History and physical exam should significantly narrow your differential diagnosis
Have an idea of what specific diagnoses are being ruled out when ordering diagnostic tests
Always consider the most life-threatening and most common disease processes first – we are a rule out specialty
“Red flags” are key historical or physical exam findings that put one at a higher risk for certain conditions
You have a finite number of shifts as a learner. Challenge yourself to learn something new every day!
