Screening out arrogance would be great!

So many diseases are still determined by exclusion. We are dealing with my partner's recent diagnosis of ALS, and although a basic screen was done, trying to get other possibilities tested for is a slog — essentially existing in a medical desert. Fortunately we now have a neurologist who has done a lumbar puncture to test CSF. Hopefully greater and easier genetic research and screening will bring targeted treatments if not cures. If we could screen arrogance out of the medical arena it would be a giant step forward.
