Doctors in Norway were asked to rank a range of 38 diseases based on the prestige they felt the illnesses were viewed by the medical profession.
Myocardial infarction (heart attack) came top, followed by leukaemia, spleen rupture, brain tumour and testicular cancer. Fibromyalgia, anxiety neurosis, hepatic cirrhosis, depressive neurosis, schizophrenia and anorexia were at the bottom of the prestige rankings.
