Excerpt from A Manual of Surgical DiagnosisThis little book is intended mainly for dressers and junior practitioners, and is the outcome of more than twenty years of practical experience in the teaching of clinical surgery. Surgical diagnosis is so vast a subject, and so closely connected with pathology and other branches of surgery and medicine, that it is difficult to write of it as a separate entity. It is a subject with no beginning and no end, so intricate and far reaching are the questions involved in surgical diagnosis. It is hoped, however, that a book which does not attempt to deal fully with every detail of surgical diagnosis, but concerns itself rather with the principles involved and with the methods of examination that ought to be adopted in individual cases, may serve a useful purpose.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
