When we think about medical diagnosis, we usually think in terms of science. The conventional (and accurate) wisdom is that diseases are named and classified on the basis of scientific research. For example, the roughly decennial revisions of the World Health Organization’s International Classification of Diseases (ICD) partly reflect advances in scientific understanding of diseases and injuries.
