Use this skill to perform a medical diagnosis, which is the process of
determining which disease or condition explains a person's symptoms and
signs. It is most often referred to as diagnosis with the medical context
being implicit. The information required for diagnosis is typically
collected from a history and physical examination of the person seeking
medical care. Often, one or more diagnostic procedures, such as medical
tests, are also done during the process.

If your diagnosis of your target player is positive for any disease, you
will automatically become his appointed doctor and he will be your patient
for the duration of the illness. As he gets better, you will be rewarded
with karma and mastery ticks. If he heals completely, you will no longer be
his appointed doctor. NOTE: Both the doctor and patient have to be online
as the patient is recovering for the doctor to get the rewards.


As a doctor, in addition to using this skill, to get the best possible
diagnosis, you need to perform some additional actions, which are as
follows:

 - See if patient has any problems with eating, drinking or talking. (ask
 him to eat or drink something).
 - Look at the patient to see visual symptoms on his body.
 - Touch the patient to detect e.g. swollen lymph nodes on his neck, or if
 he has fever.
 - You can ask the patient to use command 'defecate' to provide a stool
 sample.
 - Question the patient whether he has any internal symptoms e.g. apathy,
 head ache, pain, malaise, and such which cannot be measured externally.
 Once you have your diagnosis provided by this skill, and you know the above
 factors, then refer to 'help epidemics' to make your diagnosis.

Only Initiates of Air can get e.g. karma and mastery rewards for diagnoses.
