Principles of diagnosing occupational diseases
Calif Med.
1958 Aug.
Abstract
The traditional diagnostic procedure adhered to in general medicine is too frequently neglected when a physician is confronted with a possible occupational disease. Also, the proper diagnosis in occupational medicine requires additional effort along lines of investigation not necessary in general medicine. Failure to conform to the basic steps as outlined in this paper will distort known entities or "create" false ones.
