COGNITIVE ILLUSION DEFINITION RESIDENT EXAMPLE ATTENDING EXAMPLE Emotionally reasoning Jumping to incorrect conclusions based on your feelings I feel like a bad doctor [“therefore” I am a bad doctor] I feel angry [“therefore” this resident must be up to something] Fortune telling Presuming to know the future I just know I’ll never master the brachial plexus This resident’s destined to raise the world’s malpractice fees Mind reading Presuming to know what someone else is thinking I just know my call partner is mad at me [he’s actually just exhausted] This resident thinks I’m an idiot [she’s actually just intimidated] Overgeneralizing Overgeneralizing from the facts at hand I didn’t get the preceptor I wanted—my career is ruined! I missed that coccidioidomycosis — I belong in Doctor Jail Personalizing Taking things too personally That memo was targeted at me! [his charts are actually more current than average] That resident is very uncooperative [she’s actually worried sick about her mother’s cancer] Polarizing Seeing things too absolutely (all-or-nothing, black-or-white) Either I get into ophthalmology or my lifestyle spouse will leave me This kid’s either gonna be an Osler or a Shipman Shoulding Excessive self-criticism (sometimes introducing morality when none is warranted) I should be as sharp after 36 hours on call as after a surfing vacation in Hawaii I must make all the applause-worthy diagnoses
