Quick consult is a glance. You get the signed approach to one problem - red flags, the key question, likely causes, the can't-miss list and suggested tests - with nothing to commit and no questions to answer.

Beginning a case is the guided walk. I ask one question at a time, you commit each answer and rank your own differentials, and the case is saved for follow-up.

Why it is set up this way: when you are busy you need the safety net, not a coaching session. When you have time, the walk is what builds your own reasoning. You can move from a consult into the full walk at any point.
