In this episode of the *Talking Rehab Podcast*, I dive into a thought-provoking discussion about rare diagnoses in medicine and the biases that influence how clinicians approach these conditions. I share a recent conversation with a fellow physician about conditions like Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS). We reflect on how these diagnoses are often considered rare and the impact that belief has on patient care.
Key moments in the episode:
- **[00:00]**: Introduction and overview of the episode’s main topic: rare diagnoses in medicine
- **[00:38]**: Discussion on specific conditions like EDS, POTS, and MCAS, and the challenges in diagnosing them
- **[01:53]**: Exploration of why these conditions are considered rare and whether that belief is justified
- **[03:03]**: How physician biases can prevent certain diagnoses from being made
- **[04:52]**: The frustration of not finding objective evidence for certain conditions, even though other diagnoses rely purely on clinical judgment
- **[08:00]**: A call for physicians to question their own biases about what they consider "rare" and to stay open-minded
I challenge the idea that certain diagnoses are rare just because they are difficult to prove and encourage clinicians to approach patient care with a more open mind.
