About this episode
Abdominal Pain – What Could It Be?
In this episode of Home of Medicine, Ben and I dive into the complexities of abdominal pain—a symptom with countless potential causes. We explore the importance of history taking, the Framing Effect, and how cognitive biases can influence clinical decision-making.
We also discuss the value of peer-to-peer consultant observations—could this improve patient care and professional growth?
And, as always, we reflect on our own mistakes along the way!
