title: [Discourse on the onto-epistemologic aspects of medical diagnosis].
abstract: Medical diagnosis represents an essential condition of a successful therapy. It is the result of a complicated subject-object-relation. Depending on the recognition of pathological phenomenons it requires an epistemological view too, e.g. on the ontoepistemology founded by Sandkühler. Significant categories in making a diagnosis are the pattern, the "Gestalt" and the whole. They represent the result of an association process which assigns a signification to the pattern. Whereas a young doctor perceives or describes the pattern only it is digested cognitively by the older well versed doctor.
