Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from How to Examine the Chest: A Practical Guide for the Use of Students
IN the following pages I have not aimed at writing an exhaustive treatise on auscultation and percussion, but merely an introduction to the examination of the chest by these and other methods. Each section is virtually based on lectures delivered by me at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, during the course of the demonstrations, which it has been my duty, as medical tutor, to give to the students during the last few years, by way of preparation for clinical work in the medical wards. I have therefore avoided all discussion of theory, and have adopted in the text, without argument, that theory in each case which appears to me on the whole to furnish the best explana tion of the facts.
