Book excerpt: Excerpt from Delaware State Medical Journal, Vol. 9: Official Organ of the Medical Society of Delaware; January, 1937 In the final analysis a patient's history and the physical signs Obtained by his physician are of maximal diagnostic importance, as Dr. Miller has emphasized in connection with gall bladder disease. What I shall have to say, therefore, about certain laboratory procedures for the diagnosis of digestive diseases is not intended to minimize the primary value Of an orderly and detailed story of the patient's symptoms and of the findings resulting from a painstaking physical examination. Routine blood studies, a urinalysis, and a Wassermann reaction should be made on all patients coming under observation for the first time. A gastric analysis is desirable in most of the patients, and other special studies are frequently indicated. Read before the Medical Society of Delaware, Rehoboth, October 14, 1936.
