> A common logical fallacy for our human brains is that we think, "Oh, I just got a test, so it's less likely I have cancer today," which is not how probability works.

Given my interactions with my doctors and their tests, they did seem to hold this belief, too.

In any case, the real mistake people make is failing to update their beliefs when new evidence (symptoms) appears. Rookie mistake. My doctors love to do (or rather, not do) this. Who needs differential diagnosis and re-evaluation when they can just keep the diagnosis and continue receiving a fuckton of money after you based on a secore-based system we have here?
