Hosp Pract. 1977 Mar;12(3):107-16. doi: 10.1080/21548331.1977.11707098.

Hospital workups should be done only when they will produce information not otherwise obtainable. Even when patients are acutely ill, home care may be preferable; after care and day care are often best for long-term treatment.

只有在医院检查能提供其他途径无法获得的信息时才应进行。即使患者病情危急，居家护理可能更可取；康复护理和日托护理通常对长期治疗最为适宜。
