چکیده (انگلیسی):

Clinical reasoning involves interviewing the patient, taking a history, and carefully scrutinising objects in
the environment, via a physical examination, and the interpretation of medical results. Developments in
medicine are trending towards the routine use of sophisticated diagnostic tools. While important, these
trends may be leading clinicians to rely on expensive tests, while not using or improving the art of
clinical deduction. The ideal clinician knows themselves and their environment, truly observes, imagines
the possibilities, deduces from what they observe, and continually learns. This allows the clinician to use
all of their senses, while not primarily relying on a diagnostic test.
