View through CrossRef
Uncertainty is a frequent and often uncomfortable element in the physician’s professional life. Its many overlapping sources range from biological variation in patients and diseases, to the inherent unpredictability of the future. This chapter focuses on dealing with uncertainty in diagnosis, prognosis, and management. How can good judgements be made and wise decisions taken when the information on which they are based is incomplete?
