And there was the joke that he told in first yearlaaaaame. Ethological fallacy- when a correlation doesn"t make sense. Prevention- the blood pressure cuff in the pharmacy in order to monitor blood pressure for hypertension. Diagnosis- going to the doctors to deal with the problem.

Synergism- when the combine effect is greater than the sum of the individual causes. If the test is reliable, it may not be valid.
