......."During the past decade or two, an ugly expression crept into medical terminology: "high index of suspicion." It appears in medical journals, in oral presentations, and in simple conversations among doctors. It became a stereotyped expression, a cliché. Instead of talking (and writing) about "acute clinical awareness" or "high level of suspicion," our senses are exposed to some meaningless "index." What is an index? Of several available definitions, I have chosen two.....:

1) Index is a number associated with another number to indicate a mathematical operation.
2) Index is a ratio derived from a series of observations and used as an indicator or measure. ...etc"

Wybieram tę odpowiedź, ponieważ najlepiej pasuje do kontekstu, w którym faktycznie chodzi o 'podejrzenie' (uszkodzenia), a nie jego podejrzliwość:-) Niczego nie ujmując pozostałym odpowiedziom ze względu na brak 'wglądu' do tekstu. Wszystkim bardzo dziękuję, a Miriam przede wszystkim:-)

neutral  Michal Berski: niezbyt to naturalnie brzmi, poza tym chodzi o podejrzliwość, nie podejrzenie// kontekst wyraźnie wskazuje na podejrzliwość
3 hrs
  -> no nie wiem- podejrzliwość tłumaczy się jako suspiciousness, a podejrzenie jako suspicion- czyli które słowo lepiej brzmi?
disagree  redoktor: pomijając już zgrabność i zrozumiałość zaproponowanej frazy, to przytoczona przez Ciebie definicja wskazuje na *dokładnie* odwrotne znaczenie, niż w kontekście pytania
7 hrs
  -> nie wiem o czym mówisz,widziałam takie sformułowanie słów. Pozatem podejrzliwość=suspiciousness, a tu chodzi o suspicion.http://www.dict.pl/dict?word=suspicion&words=&lang=EN
agree  Polangmar: Chociaż po polsku używa się innego sformułowania.
