Synopsis

This book illuminates the cognitive processes used by experienced physicians to diagnose illness. It has been observed that highly skilled diagnosticians often subconsciously employ complex reasoning techniques to analyse the problem at hand. However, these techniques are difficult to verbalize. The author attempts to formalize these methods as an abstract model, and shows how it can be used in teaching medical students to refine their diagnostic skills.
