In this question, we are presented with a patient who has a concern of pancreatic cancer.
00:07
Based on different tests that are conducted and medical history, there is no medical problem that is found.
00:17
The patient is going to be quite happy and relieved that, after all, the tests are negative, that is the outcome.
00:27
But very quickly afterwards, he will be worried once more that he has cancer.
00:34
So based on this recurrent worry of having cancer, what can we say about this patient? what kind of diagnosis can we give this patient? you might think, well, what is so abnormal about this? but we find that this is basically the chain of events that we have here.
00:56
We have this patient worrying about a suspected illness, right? so they worry about the suspected illness.
01:10
Then we show, we prove that the patient does not have that illness.
01:30
The patient begins worrying once more, shortly thereafter...
