Framing consists of responding to the question: “What is it that I am supposed to do in this particular scenario?” After framing, there automatically appears an early hypothesis that the physician tries to verify. When findings do not fit the hypothesis, other hypotheses might be considered (type 1 reframing), sometimes even global reframing (type 2 refram-ing), such as, for example, “I am not dealing with a shoulder pain, I should consider domestic violence.”
