Course Overview
In this Qiological discussion, we will examine the symptoms and signs of a recent case. Each symptom and sign will be explored in detail to determine their diagnostic salience. We will focus on navigating the difficult terrain of seeking reliable pattern constellations while avoiding apophenia.
Throughout the discussion of this case a special emphasis will be placed on the crucial role careful observation plays in diagnosis. The patient for this case study has consented to use images taken during his treatment. These images will reveal how decisive careful observation can be in determining an accurate diagnosis.
