Diseased not deceased

To quote Hahnemann:
'the unprejudiced observer - well aware of the futility of
transcendental speculations which can receive no confirmation from
experience - be his powers of penetration ever so great, takes note
of nothing in every individual disease, except the changes in the
health of the body and of the mind (morbid phenomena, accidents,
symptoms) which can be perceived externally by means of the senses;
that is to say, he notices only the deviations from the former
healthy state of the now diseased individual, which are felt by the
patient himself, remarked by those around him and observed by the
physician. All these perceptible signs represent the disease in its
whole extent, that is, together they form the true and only
conceivable portrait of the disease'
NB: that's 'diseased individual', not 'deceased individual'
Just a reminder to keep it real,
Simon
