As soon as the patient is admitted to the in-patient department the ward doctor fills in the patient’s case history. It must include the information about the patient’s parents –if they are living or not. If they died. The doctor must know if any of the family has ever been ill with tuberculosis or has had any mental or emotional impairment. This information composes the familiarly history.
The patient’s medical history must include the information about the diseases which the patient had both being a child and an adult, about the operations which were performed, about any traumas he had. The patient’s blood group and his sensitivity to antibiotics must be determined and the obtained information written down in the case history. These findings compose the past history.
The attending doctor must know what the patient’s complaints and symptoms are. He must know long and how often the patient has had these complaints.
The information on the physical examination of the patient on his admission to the hospital, the results of all the laboratory tests and X-ray examinations, the description of the course of the disease with any changes in the symptoms and the produced effect of the treatment-all these findings which compose the history of the present illness must always be written down in the case history.
The case history must always be written very accurately and consist of exact and complete information.
