This document provides guidelines for case taking in Ayurveda. It outlines the objectives of case taking as establishing a relationship with the patient, obtaining medical and personal history, and gathering information needed for diagnosis. It describes collecting data on the chief complaint, history of present illness, past history, drug history, family history, physical exam including inspection, palpation, percussion and auscultation of various body systems. It provides "dos and don'ts" of case taking and rules for conducting the physical exam. The document emphasizes collecting subjective and objective findings in the patient's own words to accurately understand the case.
2. Objectives
To establish a positive professional relationship.
To provide the clinician with information concerning
the patient’s past medical / surgical & personal history.
To provide the clinician with the information that
may be necessary for making a diagnosis.

5. Do’s and Don’ts of case
taking:
● The symptoms should be written from
different sources like patient himself,
attendants, physician’s own
observations.
● Data should be collected in patient’s own
words.
● At the beginning the physician should
advise the patient to speak slowly.

what patient narrates.
6. ● Physician should begin a fresh line with every new
circumstances mentioned one below the other and
subsequently when more explicitly (Precisely and
clearly communicated) explained, be added up.

terms when in his narration he omits to say anything
about several parts and functions of his body or
about his mental state.
● Special questions are to be asked only when the
physician feels that the peculiar, uncommon
symptoms of the case has not yet come out in the
case taking. Finally the physician has to note down
his own observations about the individual peculiarity
of the patient in disease and health.
7. ● Don’t interrupt unless patient or his attendant
wanders of to the other matters.
● Don’t ask any direct question that can be
answered by yes or no OR don’t ask any leading
question that suggest an answer.

cases the original disease picture is to be
obtained by referring to the original symptoms
appearing before taking medicine or after
discontinuing it for several days when the
medicinal effects go away

95. Diagnosis
The final diagnosis can usually be reached
following chronologic organization and critical
evaluation of the information obtained from the :
- patient history
- physical examination and
- the result of radiological and laboratory examination.
96. Treatment
• The formulation of treatment plan will depend on both
knowledge & experience of a competent clinician and
nature and extent of treatment facilities available.
Evaluation of any special risks posed by the
compromised medical status in the circumstance of the
planned anesthetic diagnostic or surgical procedure.
