title: The transformations of disease in expert and lay medical cultures.
abstract: Every culture has rules for translating signs into symptoms, for linking symptomatologies to etiologies and interventions, and for using the evidence provided by interventions to confirm translations and legitimize outcomes. The path a person follows from translation to socially significant outcome constitutes his sickness (Allan Young 1982. p. 270).
