Introduction

The Symptom to Diagnosis podcast teaches evidence-based strategies for diagnosing common medical symptoms. The cases that we discuss are drawn from our clinical experiences, but because protecting patients and privacy is part of our oath, we never discuss actual patients. Each episode is divided into four parts. We begin each episode with a case, unknown to one of us,. We then discuss five high-yield features that help to accurately diagnose the cause of the symptoms at hand. Finally, we finish up with a discussion of fingerprints, common misconceptions, pet peeves, and other random pearls of knowledge.
