I'm currently taking a Diagnostic Reasoning course and stumbled upon your video; it's super helpful so thank you for sharing your knowledge. You probably don't remember but I used to work in your ED and always enjoyed working with you. Good to see you're doing well, Dr. Patwari! Thanks again for clarifying a tough subject!
Excellent concept ! I have many years of clinical experience as a ER doctor and can express that “ pattern recognition “ can be dangerous if you solely rely on it. So following the framework should be a fundamental for every clinician regardless of the experience. I nearly missed Aortic dissection.. only realised it after a CXR. I regret that I did not look for it initially on physical exam and precious time was lost awaiting X-Ray.
The more experienced you get, the more often you use pattern recognition. Students don't have the library of patterns to do this and so need to do something more analytical (anatomic, physiologic, etc).

What approach do you use more often on your ddx's? Or which you would reccomend for a student?
