With an average of 20 patients daily, physicians jump from patient to patient and diagnosis to diagnosis. One may come in with a rash; the next complains of heartburn; the next, chest pain; and so on. To fit 20 patients in a day, the little time doctors spend with each patient creates room for misdiagnosis.
