1. GENERAL The term "diagnostics" refers to the general theory of
diagnosis, not to the study of specific diagnoses but to their
general framework. It borrows from different sciences and from
different philosophies. Traditionally, the general framework of
diagnostics was not distinguished from the framework of medicine.
It was not taught in special courses in any systematic way; it was
not accorded special attention: students absorbed it intuitively.
There is almost no comprehensive study of diagnostics. The
instruction in diagnosis provided in medical schools is exclusively
specific. Clinical instruction includes (in addition to vital
background information, such as anatomy and physiology) specific
instruction in nosology, the theory and classification of diseases,
and this includes information on diagnoses and prognoses of diverse
diseases. What is the cause of the neglect of diagnostics, and of
its integrated teaching? The main cause may be the prevalence of
the view of diagnostics as part-and parcel of nosology. In this
book nosology is taken as a given, autonomous field of study, which
invites almost no comments; we shall freely borrow from it a few
important general theses and a few examples. We attempt to
integrate here three studies: ll of the way nosology is used in the
diagnostic process; of the diagnostic process as a branch of
applied ethics; ~ of the diagnostic process as a branch of social
science and social technology.
