Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Renal Diseases: A Clinical Guide to Their Diagnosis and Treatment
Clinical teaching, or instruction conveyed at the bed side, directly from the symptoms of the patient, has been long recognised as an integral and most essential part of medical education. But it is only very recently that the clinical examination of the student has been considered as the most effective proof of his practical knowledge of disease and in all probability before long no student will be granted his diploma to practise his profession until his clinical knowledge of disease has been tested as a part of his final examination.
It is with the view of promoting a practical and clinical knowledge of a class of diseases which are not without their difficulties in diagnosis that the present work has been prepared, with the hope that both student and young practitioner may by it be assisted in their clinical observations.
The author's experience as a Lecturer on Medicine, and Clinical Teacher, leads him to believe that such a work will prove useful in clinical teaching, notwithstanding the many excellent works, in this department of medicine, already in the hands of the profession.
