The games
Each one trains a different move: the workup, the deduction, the association, the anatomy. Every game gets a fresh daily puzzle, a timer, and a result you can share.
01 · Workup
A presentation and a patient. Ask about symptoms, check vitals, order labs and imaging, and every answer lands in the chart as a finding. Name the diagnosis before your tries run out.
02 · Deduction
Guess a disease and six traits light up: system, type, acuity, organs, how it is diagnosed, how it is treated. Green is exact, amber is partial, grey is a miss. Close in.
03 · Association
Sixteen findings, four diseases. Pick the four that share a diagnosis and submit. A near miss tells you you are one away. Clear all four groups to reveal the diseases behind them.
04 · Anatomy
One organ, bone, muscle, vessel or nerve is the target. Each guess is plotted on the body and scored by how close it sits, so every miss narrows the map.
Every day
Each game has one daily puzzle, shared by every player, so a streak means something and a share card is a fair comparison. Missed one? The archive keeps them all.

Clinical reasoning
How clinicians turn a presenting complaint into a diagnosis, with a focused history, a targeted examination and tests chosen to answer a question rather than to fish for one.

Labs, vitals and imaging
Where reference ranges come from, why one in twenty healthy people falls outside each of them, and how to read the common blood tests that show up in clinical cases.

Clinical reasoning
Some findings travel together so reliably that they suggest a diagnosis almost on sight. A tour of the classic pairings, and the traps where one finding fits several diseases.

Labs, vitals and imaging
Temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, breathing rate and oxygen saturation, with normal adult values, the patterns that matter, and why a trend beats a single reading.

Labs, vitals and imaging
What each imaging test is good at, what it costs in time and radiation, and how clinicians choose the right one for the question they are asking.
5 min read
Clinical reasoning
How to build a list of possible diagnoses, weigh how likely each one is, and pick the question or test that splits the list. The same logic solves Traits and Syndrome.
