#ShowYourStripes
Did you know that in the rare disease world, the stripes imagery is often in reference to zebra stripes?
This week i
n honor of Rare Disease Day, we asked our APBD community to #ShowYourStripes.
There's an old saying, used in teaching medical students to think about the most common or likely diagnosis first: "When you hear hoof beats, think of horses, not zebras." That very logic, however, is the cause of many rare disease patients going extraordinarily long times with a misdiagnosis.
