Diagnoses and experience
 

Duden 62: "Our perception of the body is based on the gulf between objective condition and subjective experience, and we tend to regard every statement by a doctor as a professional pronouncement arising from a medical framework of definition. But prior to the nineteenth century this boundary between diagnostic vocabulary and the feelings of the patient was blurred and permeable, if it existed at all."
