How Doctors Think by Jerome Groopman, MD. Amazon.com
Some of the thinking errors he has found in doctors misdiagnosing symptoms are very similar to fire investigators diagnosing the cause of a fire. This is particularly true with respect to radiologists engaging in "pattern recognition."
Groopman estimates the rate of misdiagnosis at 20%.
