[Alan Cassels @AKECassels]

The insightful Dr. Iona Heath @iona_heath quotes EM Forster in discussing the insidiousness of overdiagnosis. "Those who prepare for all the emergencies of life beforehand may equip themselves at the expense of joy."

[Arnav Agarwal @ArnavAgarwalMD]

.@iona_heath at @TooMuchMed: In the chest pain clinic, doctors would look for heart failure signs and sounds, but ignore all other symptoms and signs. If it wasn't heart, they weren't interested. They could have missed serious medical disease in the process. #TMM
