Satisfaction of Search

This is another error that is often made. This is a tendency to stop searching for a diagnosis once you find one that suffices. A good doctor will search for everything and not one answer that suffices.

I think I am guilty far too often of this type of thinking. I need to work on decreasing this type of thinking in my everyday life. I think by looking at the different types of cognitive errors physicians make. I can see errors in my own thinking and start to remedy then before medical school.
