2 Be Aware!
3 Clinical Reasoning Recognition of serious pathology early depends on awareness, vigilance and suspicion rather than rules (Grieve, 1994)
4 Early Presentation May not have lost weight May not have constant pain May not have night pain May respond to treatment for a short time May attribute the pain to a cause MAY have an undiagnosed non symptomatic primary tumour (e.g.breast)
5 Deyo, Rainville,, & Kent (1992) The subjective examination The provides clinicians with clearer indications of serious pathology than the objective examination
6 Herrings Any misleading biomedical or psychosocial factors that will deflect the course of accurate clinical reasoning
7 Misattribution by Herrings Patient Referring doctor or allied health professional Treating physiotherapist Inappropriate overt illness behaviour Other conditions which complicate the clinical scenario Biomedical Masqueraders
