    Diagnosis

    We publish case reports as an aid to MPS members, to alert them to pitfalls that have caught their colleagues unawares. We believe that these are an invaluable risk-management tool and, as such, they should be rooted in fact – i.e. based on actual events.

    Here are some cases involving problems with diagnosis, published in recent editions of UK Casebook.
