In China, women medical patients never know physical examinations as we know them. The physician carries with him a doll-like feminine figure a few inches long. Sometimes these little figurines are beautifully made of ivory, though usually they are of cheaper material crudely carved. On the doll the patient points out just where her own pain occurs, and from that a diagnosis is made. —George C. Basil, in “Test Tubes and Dragon Scales.”
