Hahnemann's Organon of Medicine - Aphorism 90

[Ardavan Shahrdar]

Hahnemann's Organon of Medicine
*******************************

Aphorism 90:

'When the physician has finished writing down these
particulars, he then makes a note of what he himself
observes in the patient1, and ascertains how much of
that was peculiar to the patient in his healthy state.
Footnote:

1 For example, how the patient behaved during the
visit - whether he was morose, quarrelsome, hasty,
lachrymose, anxious, despairing or sad, or hopeful,
calm etc. Whether he was in a drowsy state or in any
way dull of comprehension; whether he spoke hoarsely,
or in a low tone, or incoherently, or how other wise
did he talk? what was the color of his face and eyes,
and of his skin generally? what degree of liveliness
and power was there in his expression and eyes? what
was the state of his tongue, his breathing, the smell
from his mouth, and his hearing? were his pupils
dilated or contracted? how rapidly and to what extent
did they alter in the dark and in the light? what was
the character of the pulse? what was the condition of
the abdomen? how moist or hot, how cold or dry to the
touch, was the skin of this or that part or generally?
whether he lay with head thrown back, with mouth half
or wholly open, with the arms placed above the head,
on his back, or in what other position? what effort
did he make to raise himself? and anything else in him
that may strike the physician as being remarkable.'
