I have been an endocrinologist for 12 years and specialize in diabetes mellitus and diabetes insipidus. If I am ready to make a diagnosis for anything, I sit down the night before and go over the charts, research my medical books on the disease I am getting ready to diagnose, then I sit them down and visually explain what they have. I have never misdiagnosed a patient but I have falsely sent then to another specialist overlooking such diseases such as a pheochromocytoma, hypothyroidism, and a little more. How can I increase my standards so I don't dismiss the patient without fully knowing that it is something hormonal?

BS. Every doctor on earth has misdiagnosed a patient. But don't get me wrong, it's pretty easy if ALL you're diagnosing is diabetes mellitus and insipidus.
