"Have you never heard stories of patients going from Dr. to Dr. trying to figure out what's wrong with them, until they find that one genius Dr. who finally figures it out?"
Part of that is throwing die after die until a six comes up. The die that gives a six need not have _anything_ to do with it.
Sure there are. Unlike programming where most of it is unique, and that stuff that's not is widely dismissed as "crud" (create update delete), with Dr's almost all of their work is routine.
Except when it's not, and when you have difficult cases you most DEFINITELY have 10x Dr's.

And regarding blogging, that's what the entire series of columns on NYT called "Think like a Doctor" is!
