Descripción Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Professor Stokes, the great Irish clinician of the nineteenth century, to whom we owe somuch of our knowledge of the diseases of the heart and lungs, and whose name isenshrined in terms commonly used in medicine in connection with these diseases, hastold a striking story of his experiences in a Dublin hospital that illustrates this very well.An old Irishman, who had been a soldier in his younger years and had been woundedmany times, was in the hospital ill and manifestly dying. Professor Stokes, after a carefulinvestigation of his condition, declared that he could not live a week, though at the endof that time the old soldier was still hanging on to life, ever visibly sinking. Stokesassured the students who were making the rounds of his wards with him that the oldman had at most a day or two more to live, and yet at the end of some days he was stillthere to greet them on their morning visits. After the way of medical students the worldover, though without any of that hard-heartedness that would be supposed ordinarily togo with such a procedure, for they were interested in the case as a medical problem, thestudents began to bet how long the old man would live.
