Medicine and Occam's Razor. Or why one diagnosis is best.

https://qr.ae/TW8zfQ

Quora Question: Why do doctors blame everything on one diagnosis instead of investigating further?

My Answer: We're trained according to Occam's Razor: if one interpretation explains many findings, it is the best explanation. It is a very solid, very workable approach to not only medicine, but also to life in general.

But in terms of your implication that it precludes further investigation, that is a fault of your particular physician, not the philosophy. I personally have been a victim of that. As a patient, not a doc.
