Abstract
This entire discussion may be summarized as follows:
- 1.1. Use your special senses, combining subjective and objective symptoms.
- 2.2. Make the simple diagnosis.
- 3.3. Use every known aid in diagnoses.
- 4.4. Lose no time but do not rush the patient to the operating room.
- 5.5. When operation is decided upon, bear in mind the simpler the operation the better the outcome.
I appreciate that we have tried to cover a vast subject in this paper and have only
touched on the “high spots”, but in the end if I have succeeded in stressing the importance
of only one of these “high spots” my efforts will not have been in vain.
