Subject: guide for writing a case report
Dear all,
sometime ago I read in one of the general medical journals a nice 2 page
guide on how to structure a case study in such a way that the reader can
take the most out of it, ending it with a clear message (e.g. the
generation of a hypothesis). It proposed a set of elements to be
included
in any case report.
I cannot find it anymore!
Q; Has any of you seen this paper, and recals where that was?
Thanks,
