Seen in a chart, from the "throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks" school of differential diagnosis:
A Blog detailing the insanity of my medical practice and the stupidity of everyday life.
Welcome to my whining!
This blog is entirely for entertainment purposes. All posts about patients, or my everyday life, or anything else may be fictional, or be my experience, or were submitted by a reader, or any combination of the above. Factual statements may or may not be accurate. I could be making all this up. I may not even be a doctor. The only true statement on here is that I probably drink more Diet Coke than you do. A lot more.

Note: I do not answer medical questions. If you are having a medical issue, see your own doctor. For all you know I'm really a Mongolian yak herder and have no medical training at all except in issues regarding the care and feeding of Mongolian yaks.

Etc. My favorite differential...
I thought medical professionals weren't ethically allowed to use the word 'etcetera', like the proverbial 'whatever' of which the full meaning is more fully appreciated with the acrimonious trapezeial contraction known as the 'shrug'.
Nailed it.
So, Doc, is there a pill that will fix it?
Back when I was a student, my supervising vet was not impressed when I answered 'everything' when he asked me for the differential diagnosis of a cat presented for vomiting.
To my defense, it was 3 am and it was the third vomiting case of the night.
More importantly what are the corresponding ICD-10 codes
Not the dreaded etc.!
