Literary notes about clinical (AI summary)

In literature, the term "clinical" is often used to evoke a sense of empirical rigor and objective scrutiny. It appears in contexts where detailed observation or methodical examination is paramount, whether discussing the precise features of a disease—as in the careful delineation of scurvy’s manifestations [1, 2] or the simulation of Pott's disease [3]—or emphasizing scholarly engagement with medical practice, as seen in references to clinical lectures and academic appointments [4, 5, 6]. The word not only underlines a commitment to systematic investigation, such as in the description of examinations with a clinical microscope [7], but also conveys a broader attitude of detached, evidence-based analysis that permeates both clinical research and narrative discourse.
