Description
There are four diagnostic methods, namely, inspection, listening and smelling, inquiring and palpation. Four diagnostic methods are the four approaches to understand the pathological conditions.
As human body is an organic entity, its regional pathological changes may affect the whole body, and the pathological changes of the internal organs may manifest themselves on the body surface. By making analysis and synthesis of the pathological conditions formed by applying the four diagnostic methods, the doctor, therefore, can determine the causative factors and nature of the disease, thus providing basis for further differentiation and treatment.
