Fast Track
The minors side of the department on a live tracking board. No ventilator, no pumps — the machine here is the queue, and the physiology is the thing hiding inside the "simple" presentation. Time runs twenty times faster than real life: an X-ray comes back in under two minutes, a four-hour shift takes about a quarter of an hour.

A stretch of fast track with the waiting room filling behind you. Every history, examination and order costs minutes; results come back on radiology's clock, not yours; and what you missed comes back to find you — a phone call from the reporting radiologist, or the patient re-presenting to triage. Targets are hidden. Debrief at the end of the shift.
You are the consultant in charge of fast track. The RMOs and residents bring you their patients — a summary and a plan — and you decide: accept it, ask the question that finds the gap, or go and see the patient yourself. Every "I'll see them myself" costs ten minutes you don't have; every plan you wave through that shouldn't have been comes back on the phone. Eight presentations.
Educational simulation only. The cases are composites built around well-described diagnostic traps, deliberately simplified; findings, turnaround times and referral responses are illustrative. Always follow your department's imaging protocols, referral pathways and discharge policies, and involve a senior early.
