Ep 2 - Diagnostic Decision Making

In this episode we discuss how we make clinical decisions in acute and emergency medicine, often starting with what the patient hasn't got wrong with them: ruling out the worst case scenario. We discuss sensitivity and specificity and likelihood ratios (don't worry - in a really understandable way), and how the pre test probability is so important.
