The Soft Edges - The Eight Senses of General Practice

  • Chris Ellis

Abstract

In an ordinary day the general practitioner uses many sensory and extrasensory aids. The five special senses of sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell are almost put on automatic pilot. Sight, sound and touch are used to such an extent that at times they are performed unconsciously. Taste is the sense that is least used unless you are still sipping urine samples for the late harvest sweetness of diabetes.
