The editors felt compelled to journey down a less traveled road in medicine to address an esoteric topic where clinicians are taciturn, which is a misdiagnosis. A misdiagnosis can result in grave consequences to the patient, their family, and the clinician. The book addresses a vital issue by balancing practicing defensive versus dangerous medicine. It is the first book of its kind to take a modular approach that covers all of the significant fields of medicine to offer the reader a wholesome representation. Each chapter contains evidence-based knowledge carefully chosen to depict intricate details of typical manifestations of rare and common diseases. We have included an exceptional and dedicated chapter addressing misdiagnosis’s legal perspective.
The editors want to underscore a critical message that we are human beings prone to making mistakes and errors. Alexander Pope, in 1711 aptly said, “To err is human.” His words have resonated throughout history, identifying the inherent attribute of being human, that is, prone to making mistakes. One of the dividends of striving for human perfection is recognizing one’s mistakes, accepting and correcting them, and preventing them from repeating during one’s life journey. This is why we wanted to write this book to mitigate errors in diagnosis.
We also intend that this book will serve clinicians, practitioners, and medical students who face the daily challenges of diagnosing complex clinical cases.
The ultimate goal is always for the patient’s benefit and the preservation of their well-being.
