Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Lessons in Physical Diagnosis
Physical diagnosis is a term used to designate those methods which are employed for detecting disease dur ing life by the anatomical changes which it has produced. The nature and extent of such changes can be recognized and appreciated by the deviations which they cause in the affected organs from the known physical condition of these organs when in health. The significance of physical signs in disease can be determined, not by the ory, but only through clinical observation confirmed by examinations after death.
