Way to really not get the point, given that I was talking about the treatment and not the diagnosis.
Here, child, allow me to give you a basic education on the terminology in play.
From the Oxford dictionary:
Definition of treatment
noun
the manner in which someone behaves toward or deals with someone or something: the directive required equal treatment for men and women
medical care given to a patient for an illness or injury: I’m receiving treatment for an injured shoulder
a session of medical care or the administration of a dose of medicine: the patient was given repeated treatments as required
the use of a chemical, physical, or biological agent to preserve or give particular properties to something: the treatment of hazardous waste is particularly expensive
the presentation or discussion of a subject: analysis of the treatment of women in her painting
(the full treatment) informal used to indicate that something is done enthusiastically, vigorously, or to an extreme degree: I gave them the full treatment, and they were just falling over themselves
Definition of diagnosis
noun (plural diagnoses /-ˌsēz/)
1the identification of the nature of an illness or other problem by examination of the symptoms: early diagnosis and treatment are essential a diagnosis of Crohn’s disease was made
2the distinctive characterization in precise terms of a genus, species, or phenomenon.
Addendum: I will go into talking more about the diagnoses tomorrow, if someone else doesn't do it first.
