Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book concerns itself with dissection and the treatment of a particular type of abscess: lumbar abscess, which forms on the sides of the spine. The author argues that previous approaches to draining this abscess have been counterproductive and worsened the prognosis for those who have sought it, thus, he proposes a new procedure. The approach to this subject is candid and uncompromising: the author points to ways in which previous medical "knowledge" has been wrong and even harmful to the patient, and he provides an extended case study of a woman treated with his new approach who went on to regain her health. In addition to advancing the medical knowledge of the period, the book opens up the possibility of better treatment for a previously misunderstood condition, and reveals the author's progressive outlook and willingness to question conventional medical wisdom.
