Unscientific
This book recommends probability reasoning, arguing that if you estimate that the majority of other physicians would say the same thing, it’s the correct thing to say. It as such teaches you not to eliminate all the options that are incorrect, based on an assessment of all symptoms if you were to look for them. If the majority of physicians at first sight would make the wrong estimate, that’s the diagnosis you would have to go for according to this book.That’s exactly what leads to physicians diagnosing a heart attack as a simple flue and tell the patient to go home and get some rest. Not all patients that suffer a heart attack have chest pain. Quite a few of them just experience discomfort, which if you stick to broad descriptions might relate to the respiratory problems one might also suffer when having caught a flue. The flue can also give you tooth aches or an aching jaw. It may make you feel discomfort in all your limbs. It may make sure you’re out of breath quickly.What I fail to see in the field of medicine, I do see in other branches of biology like for instance botany, the study of plants and flowers, as such not limited to dendrology, the study of trees. I for instance have the excellent Dutch guide to plant life in The Netherlands, “Heukels’ Flora” (2005 edition) and what it contains is a clear stepwise procedure to help you identify what plant you’re dealing with. And let me just make this clear, every time I didn’t stick to it, because I didn’t have the proper tools to make an estimate, I got it wrong. Every time I stuck to it, with the proper tools, I get it right.Biology and as such physiology, medicine, and all other related fields are all about nuance and funky to the level of microbes. This applies in every way to making a proper medical diagnosis. When you stick to this book, you will kill and destroy your patients, turn people into patients that aren’t even though they do face social issues you choose to disregard, because that’s what you estimate your colleagues would do. This book and its methods are a danger to mankind.Stay away from this book and check all the symptoms. Eliminate nothing when you haven’t even searched for evidence to the contrary. Eliminate only when you have evidence you can do so.

A real necessity
A really great book for doctors/medical students - it's good revision to test yourself (& friends) using the presenting symptom and guessing what conditions are in the table, and then seeing if you're able to speak around the conditions a bit explaining symptoms and treatments etc. Genuinely carry it around wards & uni every day.
