Deciding for one patient: training clinical intuition

The studies and the guidelines built on them answer for groups. The decision is for one patient, and the gap between the two is bridged by the clinician’s intuition, which practice does not train and almost nobody measures. This note describes a short session that does both: a lecture, a demonstration, then real cases with immediate, sourced feedback and a private report. The examples are obstetric and from early breast cancer; the problem and the method are the same in every field of medicine, because every clinical decision is made for one patient from evidence about groups.
