CLINICAL DIAGNOSIS.

Adjunct Professor Flippin.

Clinical Diagnosis.—Six hours weekly during the fall and winter
terms of the first year.

In this course the student is made familiar with those modern laboratory
methods which are practically helpful in the diagnosis of disease.
These include, among others, the systematic examination of blood, sputum,
urine, gastric contents, feces, exudates, transudates, and milk. The
student is not only required to understand the methods employed in such
examinations, but by practice to acquire the skill necessary for accurate
results. The instruction is given in the new Clinical Laboratory, situated
in the north wing of the Hospital. This laboratory is well equipped
with instruments and apparatus, and the wards of the Hospital furnish
ample material for the proper presentation of the subject.
