Brilliant sponsored both parts 1&2 of these bias-focused videos. I learnt loads from their modules on probability, statistics and chance - it's rare that a sponsor dovetails so nicely into a video topic. Visit https://brilliant.org/MedLife & sign up for FREE.

There are loads of resources online examining cognitive bias in medicine. Unfortunately I only discovered the following two excellent websites after I'd made most of the video, so I couldn't work them in but as you will see there are even more types than I explored here.
The Catalogue of Bias is a fantastic collective exercise by a group of scientists, statisticians and doctors (including my friend and fellow cardiologist Ami Banerjee) which catalogues how bias affects medicine. Take a look! https://catalogofbias.org/biases/
