Found

Found is a term often used in the medical field to refer to the discovery or identification of a disease, condition, or symptom in a patient. The process of finding or diagnosing a medical condition involves a series of tests, examinations, and evaluations conducted by healthcare professionals.

Overview

The term "found" is used in various contexts in medicine. For instance, a doctor might say that a tumor was found in a patient during a routine check-up, or that a new disease has been found in a certain population. The process of finding a disease or condition involves a series of steps, including the initial observation of symptoms, the collection of medical history, physical examination, and various diagnostic tests.

Diagnostic Process

The Diagnostic Process is a complex transition process that begins with the initial patient encounter and continues through to the final diagnosis. This process involves several steps, including:

• Pre-encounter: This is the period before the patient meets the doctor. It may involve the patient noticing symptoms and deciding to seek medical help.
• Encounter: This is the actual meeting between the patient and the doctor. The doctor will ask about the patient's symptoms, medical history, and conduct a physical examination.
• Post-encounter: After the encounter, the doctor may order further tests to confirm or rule out certain diagnoses. The results of these tests will help the doctor make a final diagnosis.

Diagnostic Tests

Diagnostic Tests are procedures used by doctors to identify diseases and conditions. These tests can include blood tests, imaging tests like X-rays or MRIs, and biopsies. The type of test ordered will depend on the suspected condition.
