说明

这是2018年由Medlife Crisis发布的一部讲解，主题归在Medicine & infectious disease。它讲的是medical testing and screening这一支里的具体问题，而不是把整个领域扫一遍。适合按兴趣直接看、不打算先补课的人。内容上可以概括成：A doctor from Medlife Crisis explains in under three minutes why even a rich patient should not simply order every medical test, touching on pre-test probability and Bayesian reasoning. False positives make blanket testing counterproductive.这些读者给出的理由，核心是：HN people link it as a short, funny and accurate explanation of why over-testing and over-screening can do harm.讲法不绑某一条新闻，过几年仍然可以当材料看。从2019年到2024年，有2位不同的读者在2个不同月份把它推荐出来，其中明确叫别人去看的有0次。适合用一集把一个概念补上的人。抓住它用的那个图像或类比，比背公式重要。如果已经会了基本定义，就把注意力放在它怎么把medical testing and screening变成能跟着复述的例子。
