For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? [Mark 16:26]
He who that was lost to the world, gaineth his own world

A vanishing art
In the early 20th century, the physician was equipped primarily with a keen sense of observation and a compassionate heart; effective medications, and diagnostic laboratory tests; reliable imaging techniques were still to come. During house calls, the physician used his observational skills to evaluate both the surroundings and family members with respect to their limitations and benefits in regard to the patient. The observational skills of vision, hearing, touch, smell, and taste were well developed in most doctors. These skills were honed to razor-sharpness in the “diagnostician,” a term of honor applied to any physician, specialist, or nonspecialist, who was able to decipher complex clinical problems.
With the development of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), as well as more sensitive and reliable laboratory tests in the late 1970s, the learned observational skills of physicians began to decline from disuse as reliance on these modalities for establishing diagnoses increased. Clinical medical decision making became unduly influenced by the tyranny of the tests, even though for many medical conditions—endocrine, infectious, malignant, and rheumatic, among others—the use of the eye and ear was sufficient to make the correct diagnosis or arrive at a limited group of diagnoses more rapidly and at much less cost.
