Here's another scholarly article dealing with uncertainty in diagnoses. It's shorter (6 pgs).

Christine: This could be an interesting article to pair with the short chpt on Lyme disease. The article discusses two very different ways medical residents incorporate evidence-based medicine (EBM) into their diagnoses (as "librarians" or as "researchers"). It's a scholarly article (14 pages) that could prove challenging. However, it doesn't appear as dense as some of the other texts I've come across. Perhaps we could develop a writing assignment that requires students to evaluate and classify the many doctors Carol Ann visited (ER Dr., her internist, the Lyme specialist-Dr. Davidson, and eventually Dr. Linda Bockenstedt) according to their use of EBM? Or perhaps students could take one or two of the doctors and try to classify them based on their understanding of the EBM article. You could even break students into groups and ask each group to decide how to classify one of the doctors Carol Ann visited (in writing or orally). Then, students could attempt to classify their own use of evidence-based knowledge in a final analysis. Let me know if you want to pursue further. Kelly
