CASE PRESENTATIONS

William Dock M.D.1

1 Veterans Administration Hospital New York, New York

I divide CPC's into the visceral and exanthematous. The latter is the amphitheater showpiece, usually one case. The former, and more important, is the weekly show in the morgue, where a brief summary, clinical diagnosis and display of gross lesions (fresh), with an occasional slide, nail down the anatomic diagnosis. This procedure is in almost complete decay, even in teaching centers. Ideally, each case is followed by brief summary of errors, of laboratory work irrelevent to case (a great deal in Cabot cases now), and of treatment not done promptly and effectively.
