About this episode

Let's take a little turn and look at missed diagnoses that looked like other diagnoses as a way of learning about orthopedics.  Today I talk to you about...
·    Why some diagnoses are missed.

·    Patients who I have seen with missed diagnoses.

·    Examples of some common and “not so common” missed diagnoses.

·    Tips on what direction to take if you mis-diagnose a patient or come across a patient sent to you with a missed diagnosis.
