annotations needed

This is a very impressive but overwhelmingly long and too-bare list, nearly uselessly incomprehensible unless you have a medical background. We need a version that includes at least one or two words in ordinary English to hint what each condition term refers to. And we need at least a sentence of explanation for what each category section is about. Ideally, each category section would link to a separate article that would have a fully annotated list of the conditions within that category.

This article is being actively and aggressively protected from any attempts to make it useful to non-specialists by adding helpful annotations.-71.174.183.177 (talk) 20:41, 9 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
