SameCase pattern library
Explore high-stakes symptom patterns with the important alternatives left visible, urgent-care boundaries stated first, and every clinical claim connected to its source. These pages help prepare better conversations; they do not diagnose anyone.
Each guide leads with the symptoms that should not wait for a routine appointment.
See why several conditions can overlap and which questions help refine the differential.
Inline citations lead to source notes that state both what the evidence supports and its limits.
Evidence-linked explainers
Similarity is useful for recall, but it cannot establish cause. Every guide preserves the uncertainty, links to a clearly labelled constructed teaching case, and offers a privacy-safe way to organize a story for a clinician.

Different diseases can look similar, and the same disease can look different from one person to another. Use these pages to organize observations and questions for a qualified clinician. Seek local emergency care for severe or rapidly worsening symptoms.
For patients & caregivers
Describe the situation without an account, name, or email. Free text can still carry re-identification risk. SameCase compares it with clearly labelled teaching cases and turns the comparison into questions for your own clinician, not a diagnosis.
For doctors
Verified doctors can match, discuss, and contribute de-identified solved cases. Applications are free; contributor tools unlock only after both identity and professional registration are verified.
