A quote from Jerome Groopman's book "How Doctors Think." From seeing patient after patient who's MRI showed ____ (fill in your pathoanatomical label here) - I believe it... what say you? #changemymind #mri #jasonwardpt #McKenzieMDT

The pareto principle suggests 80% of the consequences come from 20% of the cause. So, with relief of pain or recovering one's ability - in MSK care it's also true. How would you weigh in on this and what's the important 20%? #paretoprinciple #mcareforum #mckenziemdt #orthopedics
