In this episode of The Host Response, Dr. Paul Bunce explores a deceptively simple but powerful skill in medicine: using the insights of your colleagues when facing challenging cases. Drawing on a real life blastomycosis case and strategies for spotting blind spots in your own reasoning, Paul shows how mentally asking “WWJD?” what would your experienced peers do can guide decisions, clarify uncertainty, and improve patient care.

This episode is ideal for infectious diseases physicians, trainees, and any clinician navigating complex cases. It highlights the value of humility, collaboration, and integrating diverse expertise into your thinking.
