The Importance of Adapting to Changes in Mental Models

So, my buddy, Bryan Selvage released a blog a few weeks ago called "The Curious Case of The Brain & The Octopus Trap." This case study caught me off guard because it did not match my mental model of a brain bleed patient. I called Bryan and had a great conversation regarding mental models and how they can either make us look like we have superhuman powers or trip us up.   Bryan started working on a blog to address the perils of mental models at the same time my friend Tom Grawey was writing a piece for FOAMfrat on the "sick versus not sick" assessment. Both of the blogs complimented each other perfectly and I figured we could do a podcast and release both blogs as a package.
