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

Fantastically excited about this new group of fellows incoming for summer 2023
