Interrogation
By interrogation, doctor will talk to the patients or someone who knows about the disease (to get the information about how the disease occurs, how it develops, its current symptoms, and how it is treated). This method is useful when there are no obvious symptoms from the patients' outer appearance. In this case, interrogation will help the doctors to get the information they need. Also, by interrogating, doctors can obtain other indirect information related with the disease, such as the patients' daily life, working environment, food preference, and marital status.
Pulse Feeling and Palpation
Doctors use the method of pulse feeling and palpation by touching or pressing the patient's pulse. It is believed that changes inside the body are reflected by the changes of the pulse activity. Sometimes doctors press the skin of a certain part of the body to identify the nature and the severity of the disease inside the body part.
