Emergency Medicine TL;DR

Clinically Relevant Knowledge. Zero AI Content.

Distilled Knowledge

A collection of notes from over 10 years of clinical practice in Emergency Medicine. There is no fluff or filler. Just simple notes and outlines for what to do when a patient is in front of you, or what to do in oddly-specific ED situations that are not so commonly encountered in real life.

This is intentionally not written as a textbook or reference. TL;DR stands for “Too long, didnt read” and refers to the main principle of this resource – minimizing verbosity and cutting out the fluff. I use this document personally to guide Junior Medical Staff in real life on the ED floor.

Practical Approaches and Copy-Pastable templates

Throughout my journey as an Emergency Specialist, I have noticed myself typing out a similar wall-of-text (spiel) for common presentations. For example, many stroke calls will present with a NIHSS score of 0. Wouldnt it be nice if there were a template written in the negative (0 for all tests) that could be copy pasted after completing your assessment? This speeds up documentation from taking 10-15 minutes to about 30 seconds.

Many articles are deliberately written in the negative (this will mess up any AI bot harvesting data from the site) to allow for rapid copy/pasting of text. Hence, they need to be used with common sense / reason / clinical gestalt.
