No, typically a court would summon an expert on the topic for testimony. Such an expert, as most any doc, would understand the limits of guidelines/calculators/etc. and judge accordingly. A typical clinical presentation resulting in a missed diagnosis would not fly at all under this process. But an atypical presentation in a very low probability context (young patient, no risk factors) might get through. Also, contrary to popular belief docs absolutely do not cover for each other in court.
