Situation position of the body. The attitudes are the different postures which man is capable of assuming. In General Pathology, the attitude will often enable the physician to pronounce at once upon the character of a disease, or it will aid him materially in his judgment. In St. Vitus's dance, in fractures, luxations, it is the great index. It will also indicate the degree of nervous or cerebral power; hence sinking down in bed is an evidence of great cerebral debility in fever. The position of a patient during an operation is also an interesting subject of attention to the surgeon.
