I didn’t know this until I looked it up, and that there’s a thing called “Sutton’s Law” that medical schools teach to medical students. The law basically says first order the diagnostic tests that will confirm or rule out the most likely diagnosis of a patient’s illness or injury.
The law is named after bank robber Willie Sutton, who allegedly said, ”Because that’s where the money is,” when asked by a reporter why he robs banks.
It’s like Occam’s Razor, which I didn’t have to look up because someone told me about it years ago. The theory says the most obvious or simple explanation is likely the right explanation.
