help the physician help you
An accurate cask history is an invaluable aid in
arriving at a correct diagnosis. In order to get the
information needed to make an accurate diagnosis,
the physician must ask you many searching ques
tions. If you answer his questions frankly and ac
curately, he has a valuable group of facta with which
to work. Withholding information from him only
serves to obscure the very result you seek.
