The neurological content of general practice.
Of examined patients in medical practice in this study 12.3% presented with neurological disease or health problems involving neurological questions or approach. In acute cases neurological problems (15.5%), occurred more often than in chronic ones. This high neurological workload in general practice has to be taken seriously into consideration in undergraduate and postgraduate medical training.
