Take Home Points

Keep a wide differential
Think of the airway, lungs, heart, blood, kidneys, acid/base, brain
Use Wells & PERC consecutively to stratify those who you think may have a PE
Silent chest is asthma patients is a harbinger of impending airway compromise
Use ultrasound for every respiratory complaint
Treat early and aggressively to stave off intubation
