Diagnostic Testing Logic
Ambush Bystander Trauma: A real team would stabilize immediate threats, verify history, assess safety and coercion, perform targeted exam and tests, consult as needed, document decisions, and reassess. The available evidence does not support adding unshown vital signs, lab values, medication doses, imaging findings, timestamps, or definitive outcomes.
