As practitioners, we play the role of detective. In order to do what's best for our patients, we are constantly asking questions and forming hypotheses, from diagnosis to selection of the best course of treatment. Physicians inherently look beyond what is obvious. We don't say, "Here's the edge of the frontier, I'm going to stop here." We always ask, "Am I offering the best I can, or are there new avenues, new knowledge I can offer? Are there other ways to attack and solve this problem?"
