	Medical sign - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		There is a strong implication that the signs have no meaning for a patient, and may not even be noticed by them; yet they are full of meaning for the physician, and are often significant in assisting a physician to identify the disease(s) responsible for the patient's symptoms.
		Signs are commonly distinguished from symptoms as follows: a symptom is something abnormal, that is relevant to disease, experienced by a patient, whilst a sign'' is something abnormal, that is relevant to disease, discovered by the physician during his examination of the patient:
		.a sign is an objective symptom of a disease; a symptom is a subjective sign of disease.

	Medical Statistics
		Medical fraud is estimated to account for 10% of total US spending on health care (some $120bn) in 2001.

		This list includes what many scholars would consider to be the paradigmatic exemplars of the tradition, though some may question the chronological endpoint on the grounds that it perpetuates the mistaken impression that Islamic philosophy died out with Ibn Rushd (1126-98 AD), whereas it actually endured far beyond that point.
