Cataracts of the eye may be difficult to diagnose in the early stages.
In a study to evaluate the reliability of their diagnoses, two physicians each examined the same 1,000 eyes, without knowing the other's diagnoses. Each physician found 100 eyes with cataracts.
-Does this mean that the diagnoses are reliable?
-Explain your position.
-How does reliability affect screening and treatment programs for a condition?
-What are the socio-political ramifications of understanding reliability prior to implementing a screening program?
