title: The medical anecdote: a teaching resource.
abstract: Physicians frequently relate anecdotes concerning their clinical experiences. The author has classified these anecdotes into six distinct varieties. He analyses each as to content, and teaching purposes. Anecdotes are a rich source of teaching material if they are carefully selected, memorable, and clearly relevant for students in their future practice.
