Synopsis

This book introduces physicians to the art of examining patients and offers insights and methods for arriving at a precise diagnosis. It presents a systematic way to examine patients' circulatory, respiratory, nervous, digestive, and integumentary systems, then covers antecedent history and postmortem examinations. Based on methods of examination employed by the highly regarded Professor Rostan of Paris, the author emphasizes the importance of method and orderliness, urging that no organ or system should be overlooked or neglected. The author, John Hughes Bennett, became well known due to his work with the microscope. In addition to his detailed instructions on how to examine patients, he added chapters on the use of the microscope, chemical tests, and the classification and diagnosis of skin diseases. Bennett's organized, detailed, and comprehensive book offers physicians an invaluable guide to essential skills for becoming more perceptive, accurate, and effective diagnosticians.
