	Medical History - Adoption Encyclopedia
		Information on serious medical, mental or genetic and/or chronic diseases and conditions suffered by the birthparents and their parents, siblings, uncles, aunts, and grandparents or by the child himself; also includes information on immunizations in the case of an older child.
		The adopted child is not the only person on whom medical information is gathered: the adopting parents are medically evaluated as well, and an adoptive parent must usually undergo a complete physical and a discussion of his or her own medical history with the doctor.
		This medical history information will be provided to the social worker, who will evaluate whether there are any medical conditions that would make it difficult or impossible for the prospective adoptive parent to properly care for the child.

	Medical history - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The medical history of a patient (sometimes called anamnesis [1][2]) is information gained by a physician by asking specific questions, either of the patient or of other people who know the person and can give suitable information (in this case, it is sometimes called heteroanamnesis).
		This kind of information is called the symptoms, in contrast with clinical signs, which are ascertained by direct examination.
		It may be comprehensive history taking (as practised only by the young medical students) or iterative hypothesis testing (as practised as rule of thumb by busy clinicians).

	Beethoven: The Immortal
		At no time accustomed to taking medical advice seriously, he began to develop a liking for spirituous beverages, in order to stimulate his decreasing appetite and to aid his stomachic weakness by excessive use of strong punch and iced drinks.
		Medical science is divided as to whether Beethoven's deafness was due to direct damage to the auditory nerve (sensori-neural deafness) or to thickening and fixation of the bones which conduct sound through the middle ear (otosclerosis).
		Such a chronic active hepatitis associated with colitis, rheumatism, repeated catarrhs, abscesses, cryopathy (attacks precipitated by chilling), the ophthalmia, and the skin disorder are extremely suggestive of connective tissue immunopathy [auto-immune disease]: such a diagnosis explains all his numerous illnesses.

	History in Focus: Medical History (Introduction)
		Professor David Wright's history of that same asylum is 'a fine, constructive and substantial contribution to the history of psychiatry and mental deficiency'.
		She concludes that 'The links between environment and society were often expressed through the medium of ideas about healthiness: the genre of medical topography [and] this understanding of human interaction with the environment did not vanish with the advent of germ theory and scientific medicine.
		She asserts that 'individualism seems to be the key to the eighteenth-century response to epidemic diseases......Medical treatment, and the medical response to illness, centred on the individual patient, and did not extend from the individual to the implications for society at large'.

		If a person is involved in a medical emergency, he continued, a medical technician can take the chip, pop it into a laptop, click an emergency button and all a patient's vitals are displayed--medical conditions, allergies, medications, weight, height, blood pressure, even a prior EKG.
		If a person isn't involved in a medical emergency, Franzblau added, he can print the contents of the chip in the form of a booklet, complete with table of contents, which can be used in situations where computer access is unavailable.
		Once a patient's medical information is on the chip, it's easy to access, but the information is still only as good as the diligence of the patient inputting the data.

	Early Modern Notes » Medical researchers writing medical history
		And I still don’t think that it’s an acceptable methodology to use references to syphilis in a certain well-known writer’s work to suggest that he suffered from that disease, either.
		Clearly, researchers with medical expertise have valuable knowledge to bring to the history of medicine.
		We know something was medically “up” with Flaubert, and that it was discussed by him and others around him, but any other assumptions should always be treated with the same rigourous scrutiny as psychoanalysis, genius-cults, or any other analysis which goes beyond the records to try and construct an authorial subject.
