Abstract
It is challenging for general practitioners to make a more correct diagnosis with the least instrument examination. How to make an effective diagnosis has always been an issue. In order to achieve this goal, a clinical symptom-oriented modular diagnosis scheme based on the concept of the process thinking and Murtaghs General Practice was developed for general practitioners. Five key steps according to the workflow of real reception patients by a general practitioner were promulgated in this design of a modular scheme, which is in line with the actual clinical setting. This thinking concept of diagnosis should help prevent missed and erroneous diagnoses and meet the actual needs of general practitioners.

Summary
General Practice is a comprehensive subject with a wide spectrum of diseases. The book presents early diagnosis and identification of life-threatening diseases due to the undifferentiated problems of the general practice, overlapping physiological, psychological and social factors, and the basic thinking model of general practice based on a large number of experiences and methods (see Table 1) [3]. As new research and clinical experience broaden our knowledge, changes in thinking mode of diagnosis and treatment are required. This paper refers to the thinking mode of Murtagh, and establishes the process thinking for general practitioners to ensure medical security. Readers can draw on their own experience to make the model work effectively for themselves
