Prognosis by Prophecy—A Memoir of Carl Jung
نویسنده
چکیده
Headache, vomiting ana papilloedema, these according to Wheeler & Jack's Handbook of Medicine, were the cardinal features of cerebral tumour, but the authors quickly tired of the subject after a page or two, and not knowing what papilloedema was, so did we, clinical clerks in the early thirties fresh from the Medical School with our new stethoscopes and clean white coats. Looking back, this was the first of the triads with which teaching tended to be larded in those days, later we were to meet Charcot's nystagmus, intention, ????? and staccato speech, and the tragic presentation by children in their second year of life of progressive listlessness, vomiting and squint, fortunately never seen nowadays. Later we came to know more about cerebral tumour in the wards, but it was not until I came across a copy of the Post-Graduate Medical Magazine devoted entirely to the pathology of the condition by Dorothy Russell that one realised the essentially sinister nature of the condition, and that only the small proportion of patients lucky enough to have a meningioma had an chance of survival.
