On this week's episode I'm sharing a mindset that I like to take when I believe I've found the the problem during a diagnosis. This has helped me have a better accuracy rate and identify multiple problems. After I've gotten to the part that seems to be the issue, I like to prove myself wrong... But shouldn't I be proving myself my right?? Listen to find out where I'm going with this and how to help get to the accurate solution more often. Website- https://autodiagpodcast.com/Facebook Gr...
