A practical guide to acute medicine for medical students; focussing on the history, examination, investigation and diagnosis of common acute-medical conditions.

The first 72 hours following assessment and admission to the emergency department are crucial to a patient's care.

take an accurate history and examine the patient with a focused approach
make appropriate investigations requests
formulate suitable management plans
