Before treating the patient the doctor must make a correct diagnosis of the disease and determine its causes. The doctor must know well the development of the disease and reveal its symptoms.
The doctor uses different procedures to make a diagnosis:
history-taking,
physical examination (visual examination, palpation, percussion, auscultation)
laboratory studies (urinalysis, blood, sputum and other analyses)
instrumental studies (taking electrocardiograms, X-ray examination)
To determine a disease it is important to know its symptoms such as breathlessness, edema,
cough, vomiting, fever, haemorrhage, headache and others. Some of these symptoms are objective, for example, haemorrhage or vomiting, because they are determined by objective study. The other symptoms are subjective, such as headache or dizziness, since they are evident only to the patient.
