Popperian everyday diagnostics--the growth of diagnostic knowledge in the particular case.
In an earlier paper the Bayesian model for everyday diagnostics of disease in the particular patient and the Bayesian decision model was criticized. Here a Popperian model is applied and its presumptions and consequences are investigated. Abandoning calculable probabilities as Popper suggests in science, and substituting them with degrees of corroboration, is realistic.
