Hello,
I found this very interesting, from the perspective of a medical consumer. I know your blogs are more or less advisories for practitioners, but this one also has valuable information for potential patients.
Medical students, I've been told, are supposed to look for 'horses', not 'zebras'--the usual, not the unusual. Unfortunately, often precious time is lost because a doctor doesn't look for the unlikely. So, if a patient is aware, then perhaps if a zebra is in closet the patient might alert the doctor to the possibility.
My principle, in healthcare is that patients are partners with doctors. Thanks for helping to facilitate that partnership.
Hi, thank you. I'm really glad you're enjoying my content. In a way it's quite an unusual pathology that's why I decided to share it.
