Emergency Medicine Rules of the Road (click here for all 16)

1. 1. Read the triage note
      • Patients/medics may have told triage nurse something important but forgot to or couldn’t tell you
      • If there is an inconsistency between triage and your history make sure to clarify that
   2. History is king
      • It is not the patient’s job to provide a good history; it is your job to elicit one
      • Listen to your bedside nurse if they raise concerns and document your response
      • Know when to dig deeper, like with timing and duration for chest pain
      • If there is pain always have them show you exactly where by pointing.
   3. Always think worst case scenario first  
      • This is also in the original 10 commandments: LINK or see summary below
      • Reasonably rule out the more rare but more dangerous explanation before landing on the benign one.
      • Remember: you are a detective not a gambler and ER patients are guilty until proven innocent
