Synopsis
Excerpt from An Index of Symptoms as a Clew to Diagnosis
To complete the equipment of the ideal diagno stician, something resembling legal acumen should be added, by the aid of which the statements of the patient and those of his friends may be so sifted that only the truth remains. A good rule is to ask no leading questions, for in this way the fallacy of suggestion may be avoided; but with stupid people it is not always possible to avoid framing a question so as to get yes or no for an answer - at least not without much loss Of time.
