Abstract
The purpose of this article is to establish a framework to evaluate the significance of the ethnomethodological studies that have been made in the field of health care. For this purpose, this article examines the discussions that have been exchanged between Michael Lynch and Ian Hacking, while taking the problem over medical diagnosis and its social implications into consideration. Through this examination, it will be suggested that elucidation of the embodied situation in which the diagnosis concept is used is necessary in order to think about the relation between the diagnosis and the sick.
