چکیده
T' HE idea of this study originated from the establishment of a 1 diagnostic centre in Edinburgh in 1959. Aware that various aspects of general practice are increasingly the subject of discussion and argument but less frequently critically examined, we decided to study the records of 200 patients that one of us, a general practitioner, had examined at the Family Doctor Centre in Edinburgh. These examinations involved considerable clinical work and were fully recorded at the time. The object of the study was to identify the problems that the patients presented and to assess the advantages, if any, to both doctor and patient in utilizing the facilities of a diagnostic centre.
