Show Reading Faces. The New York Medical Record in an article entitled "The Face and Its Expression in Diagnosis" is of the opinion that the Sherlock Holmes faculty fac-ulty in the average doctor enables him to read in his patient's face in a moment's mo-ment's observation that which the laboratory or physical examination will be a Ions time finding out. Going somewhat further the writer says that the physician may have read something some-thing In the face of the dog of the patient's household. That at the doctor's doc-tor's first visit the dog's face would have shined forth a welcome; at the next day he could read unalloyed gladness glad-ness at his visit and confidence In him; at the third visit the dog's face would wear a dejected look. The wise physician physi-cian would know what this meant. The family had "changed doctors." |
