Masterpiece Theatre has just run the second 3 episode series of Sherlock – a modern retelling of Sherlock Holmes. These show originate in Great Britain and are simply brilliant. While watching an episode yesterday Sherlock said this to a detective:
You have a solution that you like, but you are choosing ignore anything that you see that doesn’t comply with it. – from the Blind Banker – Sherlock Season 1 Episode 2
Too often physicians jump to a diagnosis despite strong clues that they should consider other diagnoses. They should fear Sherlock’s admonishment.
