The most popular metaphors draw on <a href="/wiki/Military" title="Military">military</a> concepts: Disease is an enemy that must be feared, fought, battled, and routed. The patient or the healthcare provider is a <a href="/wiki/Warrior" title="Warrior">warrior</a>, rather than a passive victim or bystander. The agents of communicable diseases are <a href="/wiki/Invasion" title="Invasion">invaders</a>; non-communicable diseases constitute internal <a href="/wiki/Insurrection" class="mw-redirect" title="Insurrection">insurrection</a> or <a href="/wiki/Civil_war" title="Civil war">civil war</a>. Because the threat is urgent, perhaps a matter of life and death, unthinkably radical, even oppressive, measures are society's and the patient's moral duty as they courageously mobilize to struggle against destruction. The <a href="/wiki/War_on_Cancer" class="mw-redirect" title="War on Cancer">War on Cancer</a> is an example of this metaphorical use of language.<sup id="cite_ref-Gwyn_49-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Gwyn-49"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>49<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This language is empowering to some patients, but leaves others feeling like they are failures.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_50-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-50"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>50<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Another class of metaphors describes the experience of illness as a journey: The person travels to or from a place of disease, and changes himself, discovers new information, or increases his experience along the way. He may travel "on the road to recovery" or make changes to "get on the right track" or choose "pathways".<sup id="cite_ref-Gwyn_49-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Gwyn-49"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>49<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-:0_50-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-50"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>50<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Some are explicitly immigration-themed: the patient has been exiled from the home territory of health to the land of the ill, changing identity and relationships in the process.<sup id="cite_ref-Diedrich_51-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Diedrich-51"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>51<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This language is more common among British healthcare professionals than the language of physical aggression.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_50-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-50"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>50<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Some metaphors are disease-specific. <a href="/wiki/Slavery" title="Slavery">Slavery</a> is a common metaphor for <a href="/wiki/Addiction" title="Addiction">addictions</a>: The alcoholic is enslaved by drink, and the smoker is captive to nicotine. Some cancer patients treat the loss of their hair from <a href="/wiki/Chemotherapy" title="Chemotherapy">chemotherapy</a> as a <a href="/wiki/Metonymy" title="Metonymy">metonymy</a> or metaphor for all the losses caused by the disease.<sup id="cite_ref-Gwyn_49-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Gwyn-49"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>49<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Some diseases are used as metaphors for social ills: "Cancer" is a common description for anything that is endemic and destructive in society, such as poverty, injustice, or racism. AIDS was seen as a divine judgment for moral decadence, and only by purging itself from the "pollution" of the "invader" could society become healthy again.<sup id="cite_ref-Gwyn_49-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Gwyn-49"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>49<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> More recently, when AIDS seemed less threatening, this type of emotive language was applied to <a href="/wiki/Avian_flu_outbreak_of_2009" class="mw-redirect" title="Avian flu outbreak of 2009">avian flu</a> and <a href="/wiki/Type_2_diabetes_mellitus" class="mw-redirect" title="Type 2 diabetes mellitus">type 2 diabetes mellitus</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-52" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-52"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>52<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Authors in the 19th century <a href="/wiki/Tuberculosis_in_popular_culture" class="mw-redirect" title="Tuberculosis in popular culture">commonly used tuberculosis</a> as a symbol and a metaphor for <a href="/wiki/Transcendence_(religion)" title="Transcendence (religion)">transcendence</a>. People with the disease were portrayed in literature as having risen above daily life to become ephemeral objects of spiritual or artistic achievement. In the 20th century, after its cause was better understood, the same disease became the emblem of poverty, squalor, and other social problems.<sup id="cite_ref-Diedrich_51-1" class="reference"><a

First, the people designated as having predisease must be far more likely to develop the disease than those not so designated. Second, there must be a feasible intervention that, when targeted to people with predisease, effectively reduces the likelihood of developing the disease. Third, the benefits of intervening on predisease must outweigh the harms in the population.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&rft.genre=article&rft.jtitle=Epidemiologic+Reviews&rft.atitle=Predisease%3A+when+does+it+make+sense%3F&rft.volume=33&rft.issue=1&rft.pages=122-34&rft.date=2011&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.semanticscholar.org%2FCorpusID%3A12090327%23id-name%3DS2CID&rft_id=info%3Apmid%2F21624963&rft_id=info%3Adoi%2F10.1093%2Fepirev%2Fmxr002&rft.aulast=Viera&rft.aufirst=Anthony+J.&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fdoi.org%2F10.1093%252Fepirev%252Fmxr002&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3ADisease" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-21"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-21">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite class="citation web cs1"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/clinical+disease">"clinical disease"</a>. <i>Mosby's Medical Dictionary</i> (9th ed.).
