Medicine bears a long tradition of detailed medical history and physical examination. These standard techniques are now being shunned in favor of an emphasis on laboratory studies. Yet there should be no contest. The clinician needs both bedside skills and appropriately selected laboratory testing. High-touch and high-tech medicine are not incompatible. When the physician uses them together, he or she is less likely to be misled.
医学有着悠久的详细病史记录和体格检查传统。如今,这些标准技术却被摒弃,转而青睐对实验室检查的重视。然而,这两者不应相互排斥。临床医生既需要床边技能,也需要适当选择的实验室检查。人文关怀型医学和高科技医学并非互不相容。当医生将两者结合使用时,更不容易被误导。
