Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Link Between the Practitioner and the Laboratory: A Guide to the Practitioner in His Relations With the Pathological Laboratory
Firstly, to give a list of those diseases, in the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of which the pathologist can be of assistance to the practitioner. It must not, of course, be assumed that all the tests are absolutely diagnostic. Many will be of purely nega tive value, and others may simply weigh the balance of evidence in favour of one disease rather than another. Others, again, may be of aid in prognosis or in the regu lation of therapeutic measures. Secondly, to state briefly what material should be obtained for each test, how and when to obtain it, and how to send it to the laboratory. Thirdly, to give the time which must elapse before a report from the pathologist can be expected. In this connection it should be clearly understood that the times given are minimum times, and, except in cases of great urgency, the pathologist should be allowed a consider able degree of latitude in this respect.
