• Aphorism
• 83 - 104

Brought to you by Similiacare.com

 Aphorism 83
• This individualizing examination of a
case of disease, for which I shall only
give in this place general directions, of
which the practitioner will bear in mind
only what is applicable for each individual
case, demands of the physician nothing
but freedom from prejudice and sound
senses, attention in observing and fidelity
in tracing the picture of the disease.

 Aphorism 84/ FN
• Every interruption breaks the train of
thought of the narrators, and all they
would have said at first does not again
occur to them in precisely the same
manner after that .

Brought to you by Similiacare.com

 Aphorism 85
• He begins a fresh line with every new
circumstance mentioned by the patient or
his friends, so that the symptoms shall be
all ranged separately one below the other.
He can thus add to any one, that may at
first have been related in too vague a
manner, but subsequently more explicitly
explained.

 Aphorism 86
• When the narrators have finished what they would say of their own
accord, the physician then reverts to each particular symptom and
elicits more precise information respecting it in the following manner;
he reads over the symptoms as they were related to him one by
one, and about each of them he inquires for further particulars, e.g. ,
at what period did this symptom occur? Was it previous to taking the
medicine he had hitherto been using? Whilst taking the medicine?
Or only some days after leaving off the medicine? What kind of pain,
what sensation exactly, was it that occurred on this spot? Where
was the precise spot? Did the pain occur in fits and by itself, at
various times? Or was it continued, without intermission? How long
did it last? At what time of the day or night, and in what position of
the body was it worst, or ceased entirely? What was the exact
nature of this or that event or circumstance mentioned - described in
plain words?
