More videos are on the way!!!

Unfortunately, there really isn't a great, truly introductory, text on the field of clinical reasoning. There are solid books like Symptom to Diagnosis by Stern et al, and Frameworks in Internal Medicine by Mansoor - but they focus more on the approach to specific problems rather than a discussion of the clinical reasoning process. Learning Clinical Reasoning by Kassirer is more for an intermediate learner, and has some really nice case-based discussions. And for advanced folks (residents and beyond), Medical Decision Making by Sox, et al is great (and will be a source for some of my videos in part 3 of this series), but is relatively math heavy. I like it, but much of it is too abstract to be clearly applicable at the bedside. It spends virtually no time on the basic fundamentals like this video.

Thanks for your interest in this series! I lost some steam on it when it didn't perform as well as most of the channel's video series do, but yes, it will eventually continue. I'm sorry that I can't offer an estimate on it.

@@StrongMed thanks.I hope it happens soon. 🙏🙏🙏

I'm sorry, the series got stalled after the part 2 videos. I've been meaning to come back to it for a while, particularly because I think it's usually an inadequately taught subject, but not-coincidentally the demand for other topics has been higher.

@@StrongMed No need to say sorry Dr Strong. I just was very interested because I have an undergrad in mathematics and statistics, and I think, one intersection of the subject that is rarely talked about in medical school is decision making and the surrounding theory (outside of Biostatistics and Evidence based medicine). However, something I have kept thinking about, is how the properties of a large sample (n = 1000 lets say), don't really apply to properties of the individual. And balancing the clinical aspects with the more scientific aspects of medicine, as a diagnostician and for management. And outside of statistics and how it pertains to appraising studies, there's not much else that is said in medical school other than "both clinical information and the existing evidence matter." But to what amounts? And when? ANd how do you know that your cognitive approaches are not fraught with possible errors and fallacies? How do you know if you are even aware of such possibiities? And how do you deal with those risks? Sorry for the rant, but I hoped that your part 3 solved exactly this for me, and I got very excited. However, if you end up reading this message, if you could please recommend some books to read or anything at all, I'd be very thankful.

The best resource I know that goes beyond the basics is Medical Decision Making by Sox, Higgins, and Owens. (Disclaimer: Owens is a colleague of mine) It's a bit dense for the casual reader, but for someone with a background in mathematics who is interested in more formal analysis of management reasoning, I think it's probably what you're looking for. If I recall correctly, it doesn't discuss how to incorporate patient risk tolerance in decision-making, but is otherwise very thorough without being excessively long.

@@StrongMed thank you so much Dr Strong. THank you so much for helping someone across the world

I'm sorry, but there are no pdfs for this series.
