Recognizing and diagnozing obscure problems in medicine is, at best, difficult. "Zebra Cards" is a study tool that gives physicians and students at all levels of clinical experience an alternative to poring over lengthy medical texts for arcane information. Presented with an item from a patient history, patient complaint, physical finding, or laboratory result, the clinician is invited to consider alternative diagnoses. The reverse of each card gives a partial differential, and the single most surprising differential is briefly discussed.
