Recording medical histories of patients is not a new issue in clinical medicine. However, the method practiced by the Iranian chemist physician, Rhazes, in the ninth century A.D is incredible. Rhazes has written several textbooks in clinical medicine, but a particular one, "Clinical Stories and Medical Histories" (Qesas va hekayat al-marazi), is a classical case book describing precise clinical courses of thirty three patients. Each chapter includes a title, the name and demographic data about a patient, his/her history of present illness, past medical and family history, findings of physical exam, impression and interventions by the physician, including pharmacological or surgical management. The reasons for each decision made by Rhazes as well as the outcomes are clearly discussed. This book review will shed light on the unknown medical practice methods in Islamic-Iranian golden era.
记录患者病史在临床医学中并非新问题。然而，公元9世纪伊朗化学医师拉齐斯所采用的方法令人难以置信。拉齐斯撰写了几本临床医学教科书，但其中一本特别的《临床故事与病史》（Qesas va hekayat al-marazi）是一本经典案例集，描述了33名患者的精确临床病程。每章都包括一个标题、患者的姓名和人口统计学数据、其现病史、既往病史和家族病史、体格检查结果、医生的诊断及干预措施，包括药物或手术治疗。拉齐斯做出每项决定的原因以及结果都有清晰的讨论。这篇书评将揭示伊斯兰 - 伊朗黄金时代未知的医学实践方法。
