Abstract
The medical history is obtained by an interview with the owner or handler of the patient. The objective of the interview is not only to obtain specific information about the reason for the visit (the iatrotropic problem) but also more general information about the functioning of the patient, about the conditions in which it lives, and about its past medical history.
