Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters to a Neurologist: To Which Are Appended Brief Replies, Purporting to Set Forth Concisely, the Nature of the Ailments, Therein Described With Remarks, on Their Appropriate Treatment I met at the shore this summer one of your pa tients, who told me how much relief she had got from following the plan of treatment you outlined for her in New York last winter She made me prom ise that I would write to you and describe my symp toms and ask you whether or not I may look for ward to any relief from the suffering which for twenty years I have borne with little fortitude. When I was fifteen years old, parenthetically, I am now 37, happily married and blessed with three children, I began to have headache. Periodi cally since then, first once a month, later every two weeks, I have had attacks. I was nearly I4 years old when I first menstruated. When I have a headache at the time of my period it is more intolerable, but aside from this I have never been able to satisfy my self that there is any relationship between them. They have so overwhelmed me that I am out of commission for nearly a week. The first two or three days from the pain and then another day from the prostration which now always follows. When the headache first came the pain was located betweenthe right eye and the temple. F rom there it would gradually spread over the right side of the head and sometimes extend even to the other side. The truth is, that after the pain has been present for a few hours I am so miserable and unable to give thought to anything save to the struggle to live through the attack, that I can't say just Where the pain is or is not. When the attacks are severe they are apt to be preceded by nausea and vomiting. This occurs less frequently now than formerly. Some times, also, before an attack, I experience an indefinable sadness and depression not attributable to anything in my surroundings, which occasionally lasts as long as two or three days. At other times before the attack I experience a very peculiar dis turbance of sight. I am not sure that it should be so described, for the sight does not seem to be really affected. What occurs is that just before the pain sets in or, simultaneously, there seems to be a small black spot which floats around in my field of vision. Every time I move my eyes it moves too. At times when the pain in the head comes on with unus ual severity and rapidity this black dot seems to be transformed into a small ball of light. On a very few occasions this light seems to have had a zig-zag movement. Lately I have had, in addition to head ache, a great deal of trouble with digestion, gas forms in the stomach and intestines, and I think that it must be that that causes so many queer sensations in my abdomen, fluttering, distention, sometimes so great as to necessitate removal of stays and loosening of waistbands. I have also got very much run down and nervous. I cannot do the things socially or in my family that I could a few years ago, for if I do I am so used up that I am sure to get a headache. Perhaps I have said enough to give you an idea ofmy case, but I must tell you what has been done for me, or rather, how I have been done by your confreres.

Download or read book The Lobotomy Letters written by Mical Raz and published by University Rochester Press. This book was released on 2013 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rise and widespread acceptance of psychosurgery constitutes one of the most troubling chapters in the history of modern medicine. By the late 1950s, tens of thousands of Americans had been lobotomized as treatment for a host of psychiatric disorders. Though the procedure would later be decried as devastating and grossly unscientific, many patients, families, and physicians reported veritable improvement from the surgery; some patients were even considered cured. The Lobotomy Letters gives an account of why this controversial procedure was sanctioned by psychiatrists and doctors of modern medicine. Drawing from original correspondence penned by lobotomy patients and their families as well as from the professional papers of lobotomy pioneer and neurologist Walter Freeman, the volume reconstructs how physicians, patients, and their families viewed lobotomy and analyzes the reasons for its overwhelming use. Mical Raz, MD/PhD, is a physician and historian of medicine.
Download or read book Reaching Down the Rabbit Hole written by Allan H. Ropper and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2014-09-30 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Tell the doctor where it hurts." It sounds simple enough, unless the problem affects the very organ that produces awareness and generates speech. What is it like to try to heal the body when the mind is under attack? In this book, Reaching Down the Rabiit Hole, Dr. Allan H. Ropper and Brian David Burrell take the reader behind the scenes at Harvard Medical School's neurology unit to show how a seasoned diagnostician faces down bizarre, life-altering afflictions. Like Alice in Wonderland, Dr. Ropper inhabits a world where absurdities abound: • A figure skater whose body has become a ticking time-bomb • A salesman who drives around and around a traffic rotary, unable to get off • A college quarterback who can't stop calling the same play • A child molester who, after falling on the ice, is left with a brain that is very much dead inside a body that is very much alive • A mother of two young girls, diagnosed with ALS, who has to decide whether a life locked inside her own head is worth living How does one begin to treat such cases, to counsel people whose lives may be changed forever? How does one train the next generation of clinicians to deal with the moral and medical aspects of brain disease? Dr. Ropper and his colleague answer these questions by taking the reader into a rarified world where lives and minds hang in the balance.
