260 words, about 1 min04Hepatobilier dan Pankreas
Separate hepatocellular from cholestatic injury using the ratio of aminotransferases to alkaline phosphatase, then build a differential.

243 words, about 1 min07Saraf dan Psikiatri
Localise neurological lesions: which side, which level, upper versus lower motor neuron signs, and which vascular territory. Know stroke thrombolysis and thrombectomy windows, and the distinction between ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke on imaging.
247 words, about 1 min08Muskuloskeletal dan Integumen
Approach joint pain by number, symmetry, and duration: acute monoarthritis (septic until proven otherwise, plus crystal disease), chronic polyarthritis (rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis), and spondyloarthropathy. Know the extra-articular features of rheumatoid arthritis, the difference between osteoarthritis and inflammatory arthritis, and the urgency of septic arthritis and open fractures.
255 words, about 1 min09Mata dan THT
Ophthalmology: red eye triage (conjunctivitis, keratitis, acute angle-closure glaucoma, uveitis, scleritis), sudden painless vision loss (retinal artery occlusion, vitreous haemorrhage, retinal detachment), and painful vision loss (angle closure, optic neuritis). Know diabetic and hypertensive retinopathy screening, and the emergency nature of chemical injury and open globe.
261 words, about 1 min10Maternal, Neonatal, dan Anak
Obstetrics: antenatal care, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (pre-eclampsia, eclampsia, HELLP), antepartum and postpartum haemorrhage, and normal labour progress. Know the causes of postpartum collapse and the management of pre-eclampsia with magnesium sulphate for seizure prophylaxis.
225 words, about 1 min11Infeksi, Imunologi, dan Hematologi
Infectious disease: interpret fever with a focus on source, use cultures before antibiotics when feasible, and know common pathogens by site and host. Understand sepsis and septic shock bundles, antimicrobial stewardship, and the principles of isolation.

Use a structured approach: primary survey (airway, breathing, circulation, disability, exposure) with immediate resuscitation, then secondary survey.
