Taking a good history is pretty much the basis of medicine. Forget CT scans, forget operations, forget penicillin - without being able to take a good history, you might as well be a plumber trying to build a bridge.

A medical history is split into 7 main sections.

Presenting Complaint

History Of Presenting Complaint

Past Medical History

Family History

Social History

Drug History

Systems Inquiries

Allergies

Until then, all we have is Psychiatric History. That's all folks, as the rabbit says.
