The following process is used by most medicine cats in most situations to diagnose a patient. Young medicine cats should learn this process carefully, and be prepared to adapt to the potential needs for changes and fluctuation in the process.

Diagnosis Process

1. Listen to the patient's complaint
2. Evaluate the physical condition of the patient
3. Inventory the patient's symptoms
4. Question the patient to collect more information & identify any overlooked symptoms
5. Re-inventory the symptoms
6. Decide which symptoms are the most significant to the diagnose
7. Reduce the possible complaints based on known symptoms
8. Question the patient further based on suspected complaints
9. Decide a course of treatment for the most likely of the complaints
10. Follow-up with the patient during treatment to ensure the course of action is working. Alter treatments if it is necessary.
