Synopsis
Excerpt from Clinical Surgical Diagnosis for Students and Practitioners
This book, the English version of which affords me special 'pleasure, is the outcome of years of association with students, as a teacher, and with medical practitioners at consultations. It is intended to serve as a guide to the former in the vast field of surgical diagnosis which they are required to explore, and to recall to the latter knowledge which has perhaps faded, while drawing their attention to new developments in diagnosis. To this end I have employed the methods of investigation which are available for' the general practitioner, or at any rate which can easily be carried out for him. These methods comprise the bacteriological, serological, histological and radiographic researches, without which, nowadays, a reliable diagnosis cannot be obtained.
I adhere throughout to the plan of starting with the symptoms which caused the patient to seek medical advice, and not to the method of deducing symptoms from an already made diagnosis.
