- Have a high index of suspicion for incarcerated or strangulated hernia if a patient has a bowel obstruction and no previous abdominal surgery
- Consider aortic injury or thoracic great vessel injury if a patient has fractures of the first or second ribs
- Evaluate the patient for mediastinal or heart injuries if a sternal fracture is present
- Admit a knee dislocation for observation if an arteriogram is not performed to rule out popliteal artery injury
- Have a high index of suspicion for nerve injures in humeral fractures and dislocations
- Look for a rupturing or dissecting aneurysm with any patient who complains of flank pain
- Make the opening sufficiently wide to adequately drain and pack the cavity when performing an incision and drainage of an abscess
- Promptly dispose of your own sharps after doing a bedside or emergency room procedure
- Close the galea as a separate layer when repairing a full thickness laceration to the scalp.
- Treat crepitus on physical exam as a surgical emergency that requires definitive debridement in the operating room
- Do not shave the eyebrow when repairing a laceration to this area
- Do not rule out intraabdominal trauma by clinical exam if the patient is intoxicated or has altered sensorium
- Do not allow a negative CT to prevent you from taking a case of suspected appendicitis to the operating room if the diagnosis is supported clinically
- Do not remove a knife that is penetrating tissue unless you have a direct intraoperative vision and control
- Avoid undue traction on the left renal vein to expose the neck of an aortic aneurysm
- Do not hesitate to convert a laparoscopic cholecystectomy to an open cholecystectomy
- Use the left side when harvesting a full-thickness skin graft from the groin area or lower abdomen
- Remember when reviewing Doppler ultrasound results that the superficial femoral vein is a component of the deep venous system
- Consider gastric dilatation when a patient is having respiratory difficulty
- Do not debride a dry/black eschar overlying a decubitus ulcer in a bedridden patient that has no evidence of underlying cellulitis
- Consider an addisonian state if it looks like sepsis and smells like sepsis but you can not identify a causative microbe.
- Go above the rib when placing a chest tube or needle into the chest cavity
- Prescribe Lactobacillus (or other probiotic therapy) when a patient receives any dose of antibiotics
- Make sure the heparin is removed from the intravenous flushes if a patient is diagnosed with heparin-induced thrombocytopenia
- Obtain a pregnancy test on every female between the ages of ten and fifty years.
- Do not call the anesthesiologists or nurse anesthetists “anesthesia” or “Dr. Anesthesia”
