A differential diagnosis is a fundamental tool used by physicians to diagnose a patient. A patient’s clinical symptoms oftentimes mirror those found in a variety of medical conditions. Physicians have an obligation to consider the potential diagnoses for each clinical presentation and work them up considering their likelihood and degree of danger. Sometimes physicians fail to consider essential diagnoses in these differentials or do not order necessary diagnostic tests to rule them out.
