The importance of anamnesis in making a diagnosis

The most accurate prognosis of the disease is diagnosis; without it, treatment will remain ineffective. In order for a doctor to make a diagnosis, information about the course of a particular pathology, clinical symptoms, complaints, objective data of the patient and vital data is needed. In classical medicine, there are two methods: a general and local rule for collecting anemnestic data during the diagnostic search.

These include methods:

1. Anamnestic examination - collecting data on the manifestations of the disease, the degree of their severity. The examination takes place directly at the patient's bedside. At the same time, the doctor carefully asks about the onset of the disease, its manifestations and course. Finds out the chronology of events, their connection with certain external factors. Determines how the patient connects this or that fact with his feelings. Also finds out the date of the initial visit to the doctor and the name of the drug,
