“When I can provide better care in the
field with limited resources than what
my children and I received at the
primary care facility there is
something wrong with the system,
and the system has to be changed.”James Styner, MD, FACS
1977

● ABCDE approach to evaluation and
treatment
● Treat greatest threat to life first
● Definitive diagnosis not immediately
important
● Time is of the essence
● Do no further harm
