So curiosity as a remedy for systemic failure to perform a full exam and actually do the job correctly in the first place? Not a very convincing argument.



Not really, the clinical signs were subtle, I couldn’t hear the AR. If you had a ‘protocol’ to pick up these edge cases, you would be doing a CT and echo on every chest pain that walks in the door. The workup was perfectly evidenced based and standardised.

I don’t think it is ideal to operate this way though, to be clear. Obviously this could have easily been missed by me or anyone else. But you aren’t arguing that point. You are approaching it from the perspective of minimising the variance in clinical quality. I don’t agree with you that this requires standardising how clinicians are, not just what they do.
