"Diagnosis" primarily follows real-life medical cases based on Dr. Lisa Sanders’ New York Times column. The focus remains on authentic patient stories, not shoehorned identity politics, though the show does occasionally highlight diverse backgrounds. Still, these aspects seem organic rather than forced, so narrative integrity is only modestly affected by contemporary ideological trends.

The series is fundamentally about medical mysteries and patient communities, issues of family, faith, or tradition are present but not a central focus, and the show doesn’t go out of its way to mock or critique traditional values. Any cultural commentary feels secondary and fairly balanced.

While "Diagnosis" leans toward a modern, inclusive lens, it isn’t hostile toward alternative or traditional viewpoints. There’s some celebration of diversity and community, but it doesn’t quite reach the dogmatic level of ideological uniformity.
