Same logic I could say my ex girlfriend who watched every season of house correctly diagnosed a 1 in a million case. As you said in short, in medical school there's an old saying "when you hear hoofbeats think horses not zebras". If you are likely to catch the 1 in a million, how many of the 999,999 with common ailments are you likely to accidentally diagnose with something crazy.
