Based on wanting to satisfy the urge to solve a problem that you know you have the answer to. Remedy prescribed on the first thing that reminds you of any remedy you've ever heard of or currently are studying.

It is a fatal error for the physician to go to the bedside of a patient with the feeling in his mind that he has had cases similar to this one, and thinking thus: In the last case I had I gave so and so, therefore I will give it to this one. The physician must get such things entirely out of his mind.
It is a common feature among oculists who profess to be homoeopaths to say: I cured such and such a case with such and such a remedy. I will now give this patient the same remedy.
I have many times met physicians in consultation who said: I had another patient, Mr. X or Mr. Z. who had a similar state of affairs, just such a disease as this, and I gave him so and so, but it does not work in this case.
