CLINICAL DIAGNOSIS.

Adjunct Professor Flippin.

The purpose of this course is to familiarize the student with modern
laboratory methods as applied to the diagnosis of disease. The systematic
examination of blood, sputum, vomitus, urine, fæces, exudates,
transudates and milk is first practiced; after which, specimens from
selected cases in the wards of the Hospital are studied with reference
to the application of information thus obtained to the recognition of
specific diseases.
