Signs Os Warning Os Coronary Heart Disease

MOST , people' think of a coro-_ nary heart attack as a disaster which strikes out of the blue, coming suddenly and without warning to tell those who have .- had no previous symptoms. ' 4 This may appear to be true even to the patient himself. Yet, -trecent research indicates that in 30 percent of these patients. ~ 4 warnings do occur. If this study were carried further, it would' doubtless be found that many advance symptoms which, cor-, vastly interpreted, wquld have, served notice of an impending heart attack. ;• Coronary heart -disease is dye ; to a narrowing and partial Mocking of the arteries which supply the heart muscle with Moqd. Eventually, a clot rorms to plug the artery completely, thus cutting off the blood supply through this channel and resulting \ in . a ,i. \ heart attack. In a study of 139 patients, It wgs found that 4* had experienced definite warning symptoms; Pain over the breast bone, spreading to—the arms, shoulders, neck, or area juat below the ribs was the most - frequent sign, but it varied in the different patients from a vague discomfort or a dUH ache to severe, vise-like gripping pain. In most instances, it occurred after exertioMeagad disap- . I' ■' ' ' . - ' ' . ,’s .

He added that Toland had been through as r much suffering as any other coun- • try in the world. J Polish history , has been one of -tips and downs. At the beginning of the seventeenth century Po- - land was definitely stronger than Russia, and threatened a complete conquest of her larger neighbor. The quarrels of the nobles and gentry and their unwillingness to 'make sacrifices for the common good were Poland’s fatal weaknesses. A notorious . example of the results was the provision in ; her constitution that a single ob- . jection Trom a member of the Diet could defeat any measure and undo what had already been gained by the people. U Finally Prussia, Austria and Russia divided Poland among . themselves, the final partition taking place in 1795. f It seemed impossible that the country could ever f’evive, since that event would ha vie to be preceded by the simultaneous fall of the Russian, : Austrian and German empires.) That happened aS the result of i World War I, and the Russian : revolution. Z Now the country is stifled by the worst tyranny it has ever Bttt if the Russian colossus- should someday fall, then Poland would probably be hmong the first conquered nations \|o regain independence. Those Who know the admirable Polish qualities will hope that the day of t a new revival of Poland may come goon. * i

The patient should- look upon such symptoms as those described above with concern and should .cpnsult his physician as soon as he can, so that, if possible, preventive measures, such as bed rest and theuse of certain drugs which prevent the clotting of the blood in the arteries of the heart, niay be instituted, Adherence to such : a program may avert ’ ’dis ; aster.

MOLLIE repeated Dr. Silverstein's advice that he had better have his own case prepared when Peter managed a word With her down at the desk as both of them were checking out for the-noon hour. "I can’t tell on another man," Peter argued. "You’d better," Mollie assured him. “Look, boy. In this Group—or in any big hospital—ifs a matter of dog-eat-dog. If you don’t bite, you’ll get bitten." •Tve been bitten,’* said Peter morosely. “Then it is certainly time to show and use your own teeth!” •’But, Mollie . . ." “Look! Do you or don’t you want to be assistant to the chief?” "Oh, gee, yes! But—" "That’s ah it amounts to, Peter.’’ Her face was solemn, her tone stern. ■ "But don’t other things feature ? The Staff itself will not admire me, if—- \ I “Ha!" cried Mollie. "They’re all dogs, too, remember." "Mollie," he protested. "I don’t like to thtnk of you as so hard.” She didn't iike\ it either, but—"l have to run," she said. "But, please, Peter, take care of yourself this afternoon. Protect your interests first, and let Poli take care of himself. He will, never fear." > "Os course Mayer’s case may not come up at all.” 1 \ “It’ll come up," she assured him. " 'Bye Peter. I’ll burn a candle for you.” "Thanks," he said weakly. “Better make it a big one.” * Mollie watched him go across to the cafeteria, a frown between her lovely eyes. Doggone Peter, anyway! In trouble again, without any promise of being able to get himself out. Boy, she’d called him. Boy -he was. And Nicholas was right. Twenty-seven was an age where the man should have emerged. She had been stern with Peter but not stem enough. ? | Sighing, Mollie got into her car, and started it with unwanted noise. Darn it, she missed Nicholas! The silly remarks, the fun they’d had together, her pleasure and pride in him, the time he had devoted to her, the interest—the love! What a fool she was! Ever to doubt that he loved her. Why, even as things were now between them, he was patient and kind — and should he ask her again, she’d say she would marry him for those things alone! But she had no more than come to this realization than a bleak knowledge settled coldly upon her. Nicholas would understand for what she married him—and he would nbt ask her. • • The Staff meeting, to Peter’s great relief, was not 3 larjge one.

Particularly, Dr. Cowan was not present. The agenda dealt solely with surgical cases. A director was present, however, and the manager. But Dr. Mclntosh was not, nor was Dr. Poli. Peter noted these -ircumstances while listening to the cases being presented. Dr. Butcher came in about 15 minutes late, as he would do, either from necessity, or because It was his pose always to be rushed by his multiple duties and popularity. The doctor in charge of the meeting took notice of his entrance, waited until he had found a chair—- “ Could my case be taken next ?” asked Butcher. “This thing of combining Staff work with a big private practice . . .” All thb doctors did that And Butcher was not Staff. Peter found himself engaged In noting where this man made his mistakes. He could have been more profitably employed. Butcher had no doubt of his own ability to defend himself. When Mr. Yearby*s case came up and Peter was asked to read the findings, which he was able to do tn a firm, uninflected tone, being entirely familiar with his subject matter, Dr. Butcher watched him with a tolerant smile. Every word Peter said was clearly audible, and he offered no comment whatever upon the case items as he read them. T \ » "Thank you, Dr. Shepherd," said the O.D. courteously, Butcher, have you a report you would care to make at this time?” "Perhaps I should state my reasons for relinquishing a case tn midstream, as it were, to another surgeon,” said Dr. Butcher blandly. Dr. Stoetzal cleared hts throat. "Er—what we want, I think," he said, with a glahce of apology toward the presiding doctor, “is your history of this patient, as it may or may not differ from the hospital’s report.” "Oh, I see. Well, 1 don’t have a written report such as the intern has just made—not with me, that "Dr. Shepherd is a resident! For the record.” Dr. Stoetzal was somewhat angry. "And 1 I would say that his case report was Both thorough and good!” “He didn’t miss a thing,” agreed Butcher, and here apd there about the room men smiled. If Peter's report had faults, it was because it had been too thorough, too good. It had, indeed, not missed a thing. It could have been used as a model for all such reports; ’l’m an awfully busy man,” Butcher was saying. "A lot of you cou. testify that a busy practicing doctor often doesn’t have the time for that sort of paper work.” “Do you keep histories, sir?" asked the OJX

From another doctor, differently placed, the protest would have been justified. \ ■ "AU we want, doctor," < said Stoetzal, "is your report on .the patient’s history and condition.

He came to me—l was called in—to reliever bladder distress. I did so and advised him that surgery was indicated. 1 brought him here as a patient in Med of that surgery. And if your intern has any complaint to make, why doesn't he make it to me?” ' Peter stood up and for a* second it'seemed as if the manager meant to silence him. But Stoetzal said, “Do you have anything to say, Dr. Shepherd?" j ' 4' "Not any more about the case, shf-But since Dr. Butcher asked ts l had a complaint, I’m ready to say—to him—that Ido have. I think tt is unusual and dangerous tor a doctor to bring a patient into a hospital and order surgery performed without that person’s full reCord being shown tn black and white. A complete diagnosis stated tn; writing. And I don’t think the practice of such omission should be encouraged." The last sentence had better been unsaid, because tt turned Peter’s righteous criticism nbt only toward Butcher, who deserved it, but toward the Staff and the manager, who did not Not a man ,in the room but looked in outraged protest at the tail, red-headed young doctor who was being so virtuous —and ethical "Now, just a minute!" Butcher was oh his feet, his fat cheeks quivering, his thick Mack hair tossed about. "If this meeting ts going to take up what a doctor should do, there’s a small matter attached to this Shepherd that needs some talking about! A matter of an appendicitis case that this boy nearly lost because he couldn’t diagnose as simple a trouble as that!” (To Bo Continued)
