This Is pretty silly because the doctor needs to know everything he can if he is to provide maximum help. The first step which a doctor makes in seeking a diagnosis for an illness is to obtain, a complete history. This includes not only the development of the immediate illness, but also information on past illnesses, family history and other circumstances which might have a bearing on diagnosis and treatment. When properly given and recorded, the history ' alone often gives a clue as to what further steps , are necessary. The taking of a history Is V ht lowed by the physical examination. This is generally divided Into four categories: What the physician can see; what he can 'feel; what information he can . obtain by percussion, or thumpand what; he can learn by ' ing; hearing. The latter is usually carried out through the familiar instrument called the stethoscope.
