Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Student's Guide to Surgical Diagnosis The habit of note-taking is one which must be adopted early in life, if it is to become easy and serviceable, and the briefest note made at the time of seeing a patient is infinitely more valuable than an elaborate record penned hours or days afterwards. How to observe, is an art to be attained only by practice; but what to observe in any given case can be learnt to a certain extent from books, provided the clue to the nature of the case is given to the student. This, it is the object of the following pages to furnish so far as may be; for it must be remembered that though in surgical descriptions the symptoms are ar ranged according to their order of importance and successively, in the living patient they are more or less commingled, masking one another, and requiring care for their dis entanglement.
