Stabilize cardiac distress, asthma flare, collapse in clinic, and serious infection in those first critical minutes before referral.
Keep high-risk patients [diabetic, hypertensive, CKD, anxious, elderly] stable in the community so they do not bounce back to ER every week.
Protect your practice. Learn documentation discipline, verbal consent, safe prescribing, and how to handle angry attendants without risking legal fallout.
Lead like a family physician. Coordinate referrals, guide families, and build a clinic culture based on clarity, ethics and follow up.
