A professional and enlightening 2D cartoon illustration centered on the word "diagnosis." The scene takes place in a high-tech, sunlit medical laboratory. The Clues (Every clue, What no one knows): An intelligent-looking doctor in a white lab coat is standing in front of a large, glowing digital board. Floating in the air between the doctor and the board are various "puzzle-piece" icons. Each piece contains a medical clue: a "Stethoscope" icon, a "Magnifying glass over a DNA strand," and a "Glowing X-ray of a bone." These represent the "clues" that show "what no one knows." The Growth (The answer grows): The doctor is carefully moving these glowing puzzle pieces together. Where they connect, a brilliant "Golden Key" icon or a "Bright Green Tree of Health" is starting to form and grow from the center of the board. This visualizes "the answer grows."
