Book excerpt: Excerpt from Demonstrations of Diseases in the Chest, and Their Physical Diagnosis Seeing, from year to year, that these difficulties are felt more or less by every student of. Medicine, I have been anxious to place a similar means Of overcoming them within the reach Of all, free from the cost of time and labour at which the advantage was procured for myself. My original drawings were but roughly made in the hurry of a student's life - they have therefore been cast aside, and their plan, only, retained in this work, the plates of which are taken-from fresh specimens of disease, and have been executed by a skilful and practised artist. In the pages which treat of acoustics, I have attempted to collect, in a simple and intelligent form, the principles upon which the physical diagnosis of disease within the chest is based, freely illustrating them with examples, in order more closely to connect the theories of the science with the practice of the art. The succeeding chapters are principally occupied with dissertations on the plates, and directions for educating the organs of sense to appreciate the physical signs of disease. My endeavour has been throughout to produce a short, simple, and strictly practical work, which should, if pos sible, omit nothing absolutely essential to a fundamental knowledge of the subject, and yet contain nothing that could safely be omitted. I must confess, however, that the difficulties I have encountered on my way leave me no hope of having kept this happy middle course without digressions on one side or the, Other. When I have ventured to make definite statements on subjects fairly open to discussion, I trust to be acquitted of presumption, on the grounds that these subjects could not be left unnoticed, while the Objects and limits of my book precluded the introduction of lengthy arguments.

Our authors present a nice approach to patients presenting with chest pain in various scenarios.

Download or read book Improving Diagnosis in Health Care written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2015-12-29 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Getting the right diagnosis is a key aspect of health care - it provides an explanation of a patient's health problem and informs subsequent health care decisions. The diagnostic process is a complex, collaborative activity that involves clinical reasoning and information gathering to determine a patient's health problem. According to Improving Diagnosis in Health Care, diagnostic errors-inaccurate or delayed diagnoses-persist throughout all settings of care and continue to harm an unacceptable number of patients. It is likely that most people will experience at least one diagnostic error in their lifetime, sometimes with devastating consequences. Diagnostic errors may cause harm to patients by preventing or delaying appropriate treatment, providing unnecessary or harmful treatment, or resulting in psychological or financial repercussions. The committee concluded that improving the diagnostic process is not only possible, but also represents a moral, professional, and public health imperative. Improving Diagnosis in Health Care, a continuation of the landmark Institute of Medicine reports To Err Is Human (2000) and Crossing the Quality Chasm (2001), finds that diagnosis-and, in particular, the occurrence of diagnostic errorsâ€"has been largely unappreciated in efforts to improve the quality and safety of health care. Without a dedicated focus on improving diagnosis, diagnostic errors will likely worsen as the delivery of health care and the diagnostic process continue to increase in complexity. Just as the diagnostic process is a collaborative activity, improving diagnosis will require collaboration and a widespread commitment to change among health care professionals, health care organizations, patients and their families, researchers, and policy makers. The recommendations of Improving Diagnosis in Health Care contribute to the growing momentum for change in this crucial area of health care quality and safety.
