granted, I feel like the training of some physicians also doesn't make them that good at diagnosis. Over time, intuitively understanding the narrative history of the illness/symptoms is key; that being said, nowadays, this sort of thing seems scattershot in some younger physicians.

Med schools tend to try and rejigger their curriculum frequently to try and justifiably make the experience friendlier and w/ less workload for the students, but sometimes, it backfires in terms of this.

I had an older school professor who liked to remark, in his day, no such thing as a differential diagnosis, just the right one and a bunch of wrong ones.
