____ is what makes us good diagnosticians
Logical reasoning is what makes us good diagnosticians
What are the basic steps in the diagnostic process?
- Generate possibilites and their relative likelihood or probabilities
- Gather new info to clarify your initial diagnostic possibilities
- Revise pretest and posttest probabilities
What is pre-test probability?
For any given patient, there is a baseline probability of a certain condition pretesting
What is a post test probability?
Application of a clinical diagnostic test alters the baseline probabilty
