Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2011, Vol 2, Issue 7
Abstract
Complete understanding of science is essential to get mastery and supremacy in clinical methods. Improper observation of patient by physician, which have not been thoroughly described and diseases which have not been diagnosed correctly are going to confuse the physician. So, physician should examine all the essential factors which are necessary for the diagnosis of diseases. Physician desirous of bringing homeostasis among dhatu should adopt qualities as per medical ethics to become ideal physician. Thorough examination of the patient is the initial step in clinical medicine followed by planning suitable appropriate therapeutics. If physician initiates the therapies without accurate diagnosis of the disease, accomplishment of the desired object will only be by chance and will not get name and fame. Physician should be sympathetic and affectionate to all the patients who are curable and should feel detached with those who are about to die. Sushruta described roga pariksha & rogi pariksha for the diagnosis & prognosis of the disease namely shrotrendriya pariksha (examination by hearing), sparshanendriya pariksha(examination by touch), chakshurendriya pariksha (Examination by Sight), Rasanedriya Pariksha (examination by taste), ghranendriaya pariksha (examination by smell) and prashna pariksha (examination by interrogation). Before prescribing any therapeutic procedures, physician should examine his ayus (life span); if he has long span then his vyadhi (disease), ritu (season), agni (digestive power), vayah (age), deha (body build), bala (strength), satva (mind), satmya (conducive factors), prakriti (constitution), bheshaja (drug) and desha (habitat) for the understanding of roga bala(strength of disease) and rogibala(strength of patient). Present article elaborately discusses about the technique described by Sushruta for the diagnosis of diseases.
