ANAMNESIS, OR PHYSICIAN-PATIENT DISCUSSION, HAS REMAINED AN ESSENTIAL AND PRELIMINARY STEP FOR ESTABLISHING A CORRECT DIAGNOSIS SINCE HIPPOCRATES. THE RISK OF POSSIBLE ERRORS SHOULD BE MINIMIZED BY PROVIDING SOME PARAMETERS: ACCURACY, GOING THROUGH "CHRONOLOGICAL" INTER VIEWING PHASES, EMPATHY TOWARDS THE PATIENT AND CARETAKERS, PROVIDING A CALM ENVIRONMENT WI THOUT DISTURBANCE, WITHOUT DISTURBANCE, ADAPTING MEDICAL LANGUAGE AND USING DISCERNING MEDICAL TERMS ACCORDING TO THE PARTICULARITIES INTELLECTUALS OF THE INTERLOCUTOR. NOT COMMITTING TO ANY STAGE, ACCURATE AND USEFUL INFORMATION COLLECTION HELPS TO QUICKLY APPLY PROPER TREATMENT, SHORTER HOSPITALIZATION, AND EASIER RECOVERY OF THE PATIENT, THE MORE IT IS ABOUT A CHILD.
