I keep wondering if there are diagnoses that are statistically impossible to make (at least pre-autopsy) -- they are so rare (very low prior probability) and the constellation of symptoms are so non-specific (crap likelihood ratio), that atypical presentation of a more common diagnosis should always be more likely

(Really interesting presentation on acute pheo in Grand Rounds today by Diana Bouhassira)
