"YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED" Such a story must have a sequel. This is it:
In case of accident the patient has promised to carry with him a history of his behavicur under all including kinds of anaesthetics, Real anaesthetles "which, on the accusions of their administration, have proved nearly fatal."
Dr. J. L. O. Tilley, who tells the story, adds his personal experience! of the "borrowed powers" of this patient,
Before operating Dr. Tilley, who had been rewarned, engaged four strong male nurses.
"I operated at 8 am. at the nurs- in-home, in which the patient had stept the previous night to ensure' physical and mental rest," he says. The operation lasted 4-5 minutes.
"At 8.30 am. I saw the patient lying
in bed in a a thoroughly sals- factory condition.
"At 9 a.m. he started throwing himself about, and gradually become more and more violent. He struggled and fought with the four male nurses, and altempted to bite anyone or anything, at the same time mak- ing incoherent noises.
TIED TO THE DED
"The only possible way to keep him on the bed was to pass folded sheets over his chest and thighs and
cund the bed rails.

And four and a quarter hours later he suddenly asked for a chop.
