Once you are under the topic in question, there are 7-9 sections.
1.Background: provides helpful information to better understand the diagnosis.
2. *new* Differential Diagnosis: provides other diagnoses to consider.
3. What to do when called: probably the most helpful at saving you time. It provides a list of items to have done over the phone to save time once you arrive at the hospital. It is sometimes questions that need to be asked, orders that need to be performed, or supplies that need to be at the bedside.
4. Signs/Symptoms: lists several common signs/symptoms to help you make the diagnosis.
5. Setup: The first line indicates special items you should have when you evaluate the patient, such as a flexible laryngoscope. The following list includes several specific items either in the history or the physical exam that must be addressed when you evaluate the patient.
6. Finish: provides information regarding disposition. This may be as simple as a follow up time course and recommended discharge medications to indications to go STAT to the operating room.
7. All Topics: provides all of the above information into one screen.
8. Images: If this button exists on the topic then it will reference either radiographs, drawings, or pictures related to the diagnosis that have been acquired by the author.
9. Videos: If this button exists on the topic it links to a YouTube video that is representative of the topic in some manner. These are vidoes created by others and not the author. As these are links, if the YouTube member removes the posting, the link may not function.
