Risk Management
A missed MI or appendicitis means millions of dollars in malpractice. Treating so many people with chest pain, abdominal pain, back pain or sore throat, we develop cognitive bias and can easily miss subtle signs or symptoms, especially when the patient is young and looks well. Dr. Gino Farina highlights common mistakes and misdiagnoses clinicians make, and teaches important risk management skills to get us to ask the right questions and identify red flags.
