What do you call a doctor that diagnoses problems?
Answer:
We all diagnose problems. It is what doctoring is - diagnosing problems and treating them.
Internists diagnose diseases and prescribe medication, surgeons diagnose surgical problems and repair them if possible, pediatricians diagnose kids' problems, obstetricians diagnose problems related to pregnancy... even anesthesiologists like me diagnose problems (figuring out why blood pressure is low, or heart rate is fast, or why the airway is obstructed)
We all get a bachelors degree (or more) and then go to med school for 4 years. Our residencies are at least 3 years, but can be 7 years or longer.
Usually an internist who calls himself a diagnostician

they say a internist is the doctor of all doctors, so i woud guess its that type of doctor. you can yahoo is to see hoe much they make and what they do.
Almost all doctors make diagnoses. With the recent popularity of the TV series "House," though, (whose specialty is TV, not a real specialty) what you're probably looking for is internal medicine. The reality of general internal medicine, though, as a general rule is a lot of general practice.
The odd thing about medicine is that rare diseases (this may come as a shock to you) are-------rare. House gets a rare disease to work with every week because he has writers to invent them.
All doctors diagnose problems.that's what being a doctor is rather than just a technician...even a surgeon who operates has to diagnose a problem to know how to deal with it!
Training varies from country to country. It is generally at least 5 years at university level. For specialists it can take another 4 to 10 years.
