Diagnosis (and overdiagnosis)
Manage episode 304663383 series 2991159
Today’s episode is about medical diagnosis. It’s a tricky business and
as patients we want to make sure the diagnosis is as accurate as possible without
something being missed or the opposite - the risk of overtreatment.
I look at the role of screening and talk through some of the challenges we face as both patients and
clinicians.
