Other pointers:
- 'common things occur commonly': uncommon presentations of common things occur more often than common presentations of rare conditions
- simple conditions are caused by simple problems
- Occam's razor: multiple symptoms and signs are more likely due to a single disease than multiple pathologies
'When all else fails, read the instructions': refer to computers, textbooks, journals and colleagues
