In today’s episode, I dive into a fascinating case that changed the way I think about diagnosis and treatment. I share the story of a patient with chronic lateral foot pain who everyone thought had a tendon problem—but it turned out to be something completely different. This experience taught me about what I now call the "pathology pivot"—how we tend to assume our diagnosis is correct if the treatment works, even when it might not be.
If you're a clinician, therapist, or even just someone who’s been on a confusing healthcare journey, this one's for you.
