French term

manifestations suggestives très riches

Non-PRO French to English Medical Psychology
I'm translating a psychiatric report and now I'm stuck on the phrase "manifestations suggestives très riches". My best translation is "very rich suggestive symptoms" but I don't know what's supposed to mean. Could it mean that the patient's own description of her symptoms is detailed?

Here's the context:

Docteur X, chirurgien orthopédiste: « Vu le contexte, vu les manifestations suggestives très riches devant un examen clinique objectif pauvre et ceci au décours d’un accident d’auto »,… Il suggère une évaluation en psychiatrie et une prise en charge par la Clinique de la douleur et ne recommandait aucune option chirurgicale orthopédique.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Another way of putting it, which would reflect the more common vernacular, would be "full-blown symptoms".

agree philgoddard : Yes, I think "manifestations suggestives" is a fancy way of saying "symptoms"
