Clinic @3

HISTORY TAKING...
The time alloted for history taking and examination for a long case in the MUHS University is 30 minutes.
It is expected of the candidate to present the history in a definite sequence...
1) Particulars of the Patient
2) Chief Complaint/s...to be ENUMERATED in the patients words verbatim in CHRONOLOGICAL order.
3) Onset,duration and progress
4) Past history
5) Personal history
6) Family history
7) \Drug history
8) H/o Allergy
9) Immunization history
10) History of Surgery in the past
11) GENERAL EXAMINATION
12) Local Examination..
       Ears
       Nose
       Throat
       Neck
13) Tuning Fork Tests...for ear case.


Would like to humbly urge all as I have often quoted to follow the example of this marvelous feat of human engineering...THE PYRAMID...let the base of my history taking be so exhaustive that the pinnacle of my diagnosis will NEVER topple over....
