So i many people write to say that perhaps accidentally, during an x-ray examination, they were found to have a few gall stones. Or, they went to a doctor be cause occa sionally they vomited bile, and stones were found. Aivam N o w, a sur geon wants to operate right away, while the old . family doctor says he would rather wait and see. Perhaps he has pointed out that the stones have never made any symp toms or bothered the woman in any way; or in the case in which there is an occasion al vomiting of bile, he is far from sure this is due to the gallstones. , When people, puzzled in this way, write and ask me to settle matters for them I have to say that I cannot give any advice because, without being able to question the woman for a while, I cannot tell whether or not her vomit ing of bile has anything to do with her gallbladder. The answers to a few questions probably would convince me that - all she has is migrane, in which case, the operation would do her no good. If she has no symptoms, I would be In no rush to remove the gallbladder.- I never order an op eration for a person with si lent gallstones. I used to when I was young, but not in the last 30 years. '. .. , ; . I recently saw a woman who had perfect health and digestion until a few months ago when she let a' man op erate and remove the gall bladder which had never both ered her. Now, she feels con stantly bilious and miserable, Usually, of course,' this isn't the result of an operation, but I., have - seen enough of such unfortunate results so that do not care to order a need less operation. ., Also, - we internists can greatly distress a patient who was perfectly well until a si lent gallstone was discovered. Then, we put the poor woman on a rigid diet that she does not need any more, than she needs an extra thumb. Just this week. I have seen two women who, formerly always well, are now utterly miserable-trying to live on a fat free diet-for which I can see absolutely no reason. Black Stools Occasionally, I see a patient who for years has had trouble with a stomach ulcer, and now he tells me that for a few days he has black, tar like stools, that perhaps were somewhat loose. Perhaps dur- l ing this time he has' felt weak in the knees and a bit nauseat ed. If he was having any pain from his ulcer, the day he got the black stool he promptly lost that pain and was com fortable. "' , . What happened? He bled from his stomach or duode num, and the blood became digested. That's why, by the time it reached the rectum, it was black. , '. " In other cases,- in which there is no history of an ulcer', the cause for the black stools may be a puzzle, and occa sionally, no one ever knows why they were blackish. Usu ally the explanation is that the person ate some food, such as spinach or . beets which darkened the stools. The other day I read an article about a doctor who went into a hos pital with stools so black that he felt sure he must have been bleeding from his stomach or duodenum; But when the labo ratory people tested his stools for what is called "occult blood" and found none, they knew there had been no bleed ing. Then the doctor remem bered that the day before, he had gone a binge of drinking grape juice. That was the cause of his dark stools. Many people get dark-looking stools because they are taking a lot of iron for an anemia. Jacksonian Epilepsy People ask what is Jack sonian eplipsy. It is a variety of the disease in which the convulsive seizure starts in one small part of the body, such as the fingers of one hand, or the lips. Then it spreads to other parts. Some times, at the start, the head and eyes will turn to one side. If I had this type of epilepsy, I would want to see an able neurologist and perhaps an able brain surgeon to see if they thought It would pay me to have my skull opened and the surface of the brain look ed at. There would be the pos sibility of finding a small area of diseased brain which could be removed. Then I might be well. What Happens When Doctors Are Treated Shabbily? When a government is. too unfair to physicians, they be come unhappy and lose heart; many emigrate, and the medi cal schools lack students be cause too few young men care to be doctors. They prefer to become engineers or lawyers. I read now that because in the last two years 2054 much needed physicians have fled from East Germany, the Com munists have now had to promise to leave doctors alone to do their work. Sometimes early detection and treatment can save a vic tim of mental disease much suffering and insure a quicker recovery.
