GI, Hepatic, Hematology, and Oncology Red Flags
One continuous fineliner line traces esophagus into stomach into a loop of small bowel, passes behind a flat liver silhouette, and dissolves at the lower right into eighteen simplified red cells, three of them sickled.

Four body systems sit in this book for one reason. Each of them produces a warning sign that arrives already wearing a harmless explanation, and each of them punishes the nurse who accepts the harmless one. The gut bleeds before it drops a blood pressure. The liver confuses before it jaundices. The marrow stops protecting before anything looks infected. The tumor presses on a spinal cord and calls it back pain.
The exam is not asking you to describe those diseases. It is asking whether you escalate.
Takeawaythis book is a set of escalation triggers, not a survey of four body systems.
