EM is triage as a thought process: what is killing this patient in the next ten minutes, and what stops it? The exam rewards the airway-breathing-circulation reflex and the one intervention that can't wait. Every Bone Wizardry deep-dive that maps to the acute-care exam, organized by emergency.
Lead with the time-critical threat: the obstruction, the shock, the herniation, the lethal rhythm. Stabilize, then diagnose.
