Doctors: use vignettes! 🧵 You’ve done a gazillion exams and what do all patient-based questions have? That’s right, a clinical vignette. Heres a secret in medicine: you can use the “skill of the vignette” to get what you want and to communicate better than ever.

@UHB_HPB @EAHPBA @hpbjournal @IHPBA @ProfW_edinsurg @jameshallesmith @DasariVm @liveRPancSurg Congratulations. Very interesting. My experience is that even in best MDT you will have some pancreatic resection for with benign post op histology. On the other hand how often you have false negatives pre-op? EUS is the most helpful tool.

@EAHPBA @hpbjournal @IHPBA @ProfW_edinsurg @jameshallesmith @DasariVm @liveRPancSurg Big drop in error rate when eus introduced. But low rate ongoing misdiagnosis despite eus + some samples mimicking cancer. What is acceptable error rate/ reasonable diagnostic pathway and not death by mdt and indecision? Thanks to @jameshallesmith for another nice study
