Examination of the Patient

Organon Aphorism §83

This individualizing examination of a case of disease, for which I shall only give in this place general directions, of which the practitioner will bear in mind only what is applicable for each individual case, demands of the physician nothing but freedom from prejudice and sound senses, attention in observing and fidelity in tracing the picture of the disease.

Study notes for this aphorism are not published yet. They appear here once a homeopath has reviewed them.
