Hard to say. Consider a patient without complaints with a scan that shows an abnormal bleb in or on the head of the pancreas. Physician 1 thinks it could be a pancreatic tumor given patient age and family history. Physician 2 thinks it is more likely to be a minor lifelong development anomaly with the bleb actually being an intrusive bit of the spleen. Is exploratory surgery needed? Watchful waiting? An acquaintance of mine with the second harmless condition had the head of his pancreas removed and he has suffered greatly for over a decade. Almost killed by FDR misinterpretation.
