5. Zorses and Hebras

08/14/23 • 35 min

They say that when you hear hoofbeats, you should look for horses. This age-old medical adage makes sense in many circumstances, but what do you do when the paradigm is flawed? What if what we generally accept as a common entity, is actually rare? What about the reverse? In this first episode of Zorses & Hebras, Nick & Cyrus will discuss some of these very entities in the context of critical illness, shed some light on them, and explain why focusing on the Horses & Zebras model may bite you on the tail!
