When you know the disease, you can treat the person and the symptoms more effectively. * For example, if a person is brought into the emergency room with symptoms such as: acting like they're drunk and can't wake up. They've 'wet' (urinated) their clothes, they're sweating, their breath and perspiration smell like a fruity wine and they just had a seizure. If you're going by the symptoms alone, you'd think that the person was just an alchoholic and you could just put them somewhere to 'sleep it off'. You've treated the symptoms and everything should be fine in the morning. * However, if the person is undiagnosed diabetic or a diabetic who forgot their insulin injection, the person will have all of the same symptoms. If this person is left to 'sleep it off' as if they were a alchoholic, they'd sleep right into a diabetic coma, but they'd never wake up. Clearly, the person can be treated more effectively when the cause of the symptoms (or the disease) is known.
