''Diagnosis is the identification, by process of elimination, of the nature of anything. What is wrong with the patient. For example. You can have a diagnosis of a broken leg after the doctor reads your xrays for a foot injury. Or you have been diagnosed with pneumonia after you have had a cold for days.

Prognosis is a medical term denoting the doctor's prediction of how a patient will progress, and whether there is a chance of recovery. This word is often used in medical reports dictating a doctor's view on a case. What will be the outcome of the patients recovery.
