Bedside Medical Teaching
To study medicine at bedside of your patient
Talk with a patient
Take the history from the patient
Examine the patient
Formulate your findings into differential diagnosis
Rank these in order of probabilities
Use investigations to support or refute your differential
diagnosis
Listen to your patient, he is telling you the diagnosis.
The doctor may also learn more about the illness from the
way the patient tells the story than from the story itself.
Dr. James B. Herriock (1861-1954).
The most vital part of a doctor is his interest in humanity.
Always remember that your patient is a human being ,he
is hopeful but fearful.
(Harrison-Principles of internal Medicine).
The first and most important step for a successful doctor
is to educate the patients so that they can decide what is
the best course and procedure for themselves
Do you really need this?
(Half of what you are taught as medical student will in ten
