The issue is, if you have any kind of rare condition, it already is this way. Much like the entire white side of a semi being presented to you across the road is a rare condition for autopilot, a huge number of 'rare' diseases already present problems for humans leading doctors and their staff to make errors by assuming the most likely condition. There is some saying like "It's probably a horse and not a zebra", but when it comes to hospitals zebras and even unicorns do show up, especially in the cases with recurring problems.
