from SD:
doctors often rely on "gut feelings" when treating patients.
This used to be called the "art" of medicine.
some of this is observation (small clues, ala Sherlock Holmes, or of body language), and knowledge of the patient's background/history/culture.
and some of it is sensing emotions in the patient (so the teenager coming in for a cold seems a bit worried, and yes she is pregnant).
