I truly believe the doctors here are better physicians, have more knowledge,<br />
and practice in more detail than what I have seen in the U.S. This is because<br />
they rely on their clinical examinations to determine the diagnosis rather than<br />
on laboratory tests that are so readily available to us but not to them. I have<br />
observed many thorough physical exams looking for clinical signs that I have<br />
not learned about. In the United States, we learn not to assume what our<br />
patient’s diagnosis is because it creates a bias to confirm that diagnosis, so we<br />
do a full investigation. In Zimbabwe, we are told to confirm the most common<br />
diagnosis in the differential by doing specific physical examinations and<br />
treating patients. If they do not get better, they will do further investigations.<br />
Of course, this makes sense in a setting with such limited resources, but it has<br />
definitely been eye-opening!<br />
