Dr. Lisa Sanders
Lisa grew frustrated when many patients were being sent to her, as a last resort, when the patients had been unable to get a proper diagnosis from multiple doctors. Lisa decided to reach out to a global network of physicians and started hearing back about similar cases which led to successful diagnoses for her own patients. She’s the “Sherlock Holmes” of medicine. She started a NY Times column highlighting mysterious cases and how they were solved. That led to a Netflix docu-series called Diagnosis which led to books on the topic. She’s an excellent speaker to boot!

Dr. Lisa Sanders's 2024 talks & topics
Why we need medical diagnosis detectives
Today, 30 million Americans suffer from rare diseases, and it takes an average of 6 years to unlock these diagnoses. But Diagnosis Detective, Lisa Sanders, suggests that it’s not just rare diseases that we diagnose incorrectly. Diagnostic error is a large-scale problem that costs numerous lives each year.
So what do we do about it? Lisa shares that increased training, feedback, and specialization in medicine are the keys to improving diagnostic accuracy.
She also looks to Sherlock Holmes for a new approach, suggesting that doctors should look at each new case through a detective’s lens – with all evidence in front of them – rather than making a decision based on familiarity. In doing so, we can improve diagnoses, provide accurate treatments, and save lives.
