SOME EMERGENCIES OF GENERAL PRACTICE

by

With reference to the colics he has was glad Dr. Borland mentioned the symptoms of Dioscorea where the patient rolled about and did not know what to do-a very useful indication. Here the amelioration of Dioscorea was rarely obtained, but Clark stresses the symptom “moves all over the place to get relief.” As well as giving the homoeopathic remedy in these colic cases he confessed he often left something more palliative, but he as frequently surprised how rarely this was required. One useful indication for Lycopodium in renal colic was pain in the back better on passing urine. Some might say that it was a mechanical relief, but he doubted if this were so.

He would like to stress again the importance of the objective description of the symptoms in these emergencies-the appearance of the patient, his colour, position and movements were usually all one had to prescribe on.

In painful conditions so much depended on circumstances. If of short duration and there was little pathological change, speedy results could be obtained; but if the condition was chronic he feared that to claim too much would only lead to disappointment. Not that results could not be obtained, but only as a result of a serious study of the whole case.

In his clinic he advised that if local modalities were good to prescribe in the first instance on these alone, and only when this failed to take the whole case, but he emphasized where the local symptoms were good.
