Not just logical thinking either, even just basic memory too. I happen to have the arteries in my ankles quite deep. My regular GP does a pulse check there to check for clogged leg arteries and never finds any pulse there. My cardiologist told me about that problem that isnt all that unusual and pointed out that the pulse is very obvious on the top of my feet so the legs are fine. I told the regular GP that and he agreed, but still fails to find a pulse in the ankles and has to be told again. He's the primarily gynaecologist in town and delivers most of the babies. Bit of a worry. I keep using him because some of the others in that surgery are even worse and the other one in town with a very good reputation is very difficult to get an appointment with when you need one urgently.
