An inference is when the scientist draws a conclusion from something where as an observation is experimental (and thus empirical) proof of something.

Another way of thinking about it is that observations follow laws while inferences, or hunches, tend to follow theories.

Remember, just because a law might not be known yet, doesn't mean it doesn't exist! Many theories end up uncovering new scientific laws through research and experimentation!

Can specialist put you in mental hospital because you have bulimia and their fear for my life?

If you're a danger to yourself or others, you may be involuntarily committed. This is normally a lengthy, difficult process. Generally, police or medical intervention will result in you being hospitalized involuntarily for 72 hours for observation. At the end of the observation period a Court hearing will be held. Your doctor and those at the mental institution will testify as to whether you are an imminent danger to your own life. If the Judge is satisfied that you are such a danger, he will issue an order that will forcibly commit you to the care of the hospital until such time as you are no longer a danger.
