Case studies are compiled by doctors as they observe the effects of treatments on patients. Doctors and other medical personnel carefully keep detailed records of every patient under their care. These records help them identify changes in a patient's health over time, diagnose the causes, and prescribe treatment. The records are valuable in determining if a particular treatment helped cure the patient. Case studies summarize the records and results of particular treatments.
