> Asking the patient about their symptoms is an important part of gathering the history and can not be done just with yes or no questions. I agree, but that wasn’t what I was arguing against. Absence of any yes/no question is what I was referring to. And I’m not sure your argument is a good one. Things you do in the classroom or other training are intended to overprepare you, and are not supposed to mirror real life. While I did rebuild and scale (as a technical owner) an exam platform later used by millions, I am only mentioning that ironically. Appeals to authority tend to be pretentious, and serve to prop up an even more dangerous myth that professionals always know what they are talking about.
