sanskrit

[Two types of patients based on severity of disease and clinical presentation] There are two types of individuals having disease i.e. one with serious illness and other from mild disease. However, one who may be suffering from a severe disease but due to strong mental and physical constitution may project himself/herself to be suffering from a mild disease. The other one is that who may be suffering from a mild disorder but gives the impression of suffering from a severe disorder. The physicians who are not well versed in this regard fail to diagnose properly mild and severe stage of disease, merely on the basis of observation of symptoms.
