Document Summary
Readings week of feb 23 -- celsus: de medicina vii (prooemium) Abdomen there is no bone in the abdomen, but all the same fistulae there are so dangerous that sostratus thought them incurable experience however, shows that this is not always the case. Missiles too, which have entered the body and become fixed within, are often very troublesome to extract and some of the difficulties arise from their shape, some owing to the positions to which they have penetrated. Nostrils as for the polypus which grows in the nostrils the best treatment is with the knife this should be loosened from the bone by a sharp instrument, shaped like a spear head. When detached it is to be extracted by an iron hook, then the nostril is gently filled with lint folded or in a roll, soaked in something to stop the bleeding: ozaena seldom heals quite completely. Readings week of mar 2 (wk 8) -- celsus: proemium.
