Dr. Horowitz explains why differential diagnosis matters in medicine: it's how you rule out other diseases and document improvement after treatment. Aaron Hartman brings up the legal side, showing how this practice protects both patients and doctors.

If they see you've used your brain and you've done a differential diagnosis and you've ruled out other diseases and then you give a treatment and the patient says, I'm better, and this happened. Nothing's going to happen, folks. That is good medicine. That's the way medicine is supposed to be practiced. And I can tell you this from being in medicine for over 40 years. It works. But you do have to do a differential diagnosis. Yeah.
