DOCTORS IN BED.
Some Lessons Learned by Physicians Dur
ing a Siege Of Sickness.

Some Lessons Learned by Physicians Dur
ing a Siege Of Sickness.
When a physician is sick. if we may
believe high authority, he neglects in
himself those beginnings Of disease
which layman would suppose would
infallibly arrest a doctors attention, as
they certainly would in second per-
son; as it is. he usually disregardS his
early symptoms and goes about with a
temperature higher than that of the
patient whom he sends inexorably to
bed. He hopes for the best in his own
case, as in others, but he fails to pre-
pare for the worst, as he advises his
patients to do, for he uses up, BY con-
tinuing his work, the strength he ought
to reserve to carry him through the
sickness it needs no angel sent from
heaven to foretell. Once fairly pros
trate, it is usually the alarmed rela-
tives who summon the doctor, rather
than the patient himself. And it is no
light task for the brother physician
who presides over his sick-bed to care
for the PROSTATE individual, who in
sists on discussing the method of treat
ment, and, with disordered imagina-
ton and weakened intellect, desires to
sit in judgment on the conduct of his
own case. The patient is apt to be
sceptical as to the powers of the drug
on which his friend and adviser relies.
He suspects his friend of want of can
dor in his bedside talk. The little talks
outside his door, the ruses of his wife
to gain little private conversation
with the doctor, excite his anger. He
is critical and sceptical. He learns to
know his physicians by their steps,
And seldom does he fail of making
himself disagreeable to bis nurses. II
is hard to convince him that his food
does not taste a. he has always said II
would taste. But after all nothing

more surprises the doctor, when re-
duced to the position of patient, than
TO find that he himself is subject to like
weaknesses as other members OF the
human family. The nervousness, Tor
which, in others, he has had TOO
little sympathy, shows itself in thou
sand WAYS. Tie little noises impossi-
BILE TO avoid disturb him, and the chill
dren of his household seem most IN
ruly. Most strange of all, and most
humilisting in his remembrance after
ward, he even calls his doctor for
nothing. He wakes from sleep sure he
is going to have a chill, or some equal
Nv unpleasant manifestation, and when,
with grave face and careful attention,
his hastily summoned physician has
felt his pulse, taken his temperature.

unusual features his case has shown.
Ii ne thinks about the matter at all. he
finds how difficult it is to know ut what
length TO detail his symptoms to In

tongue in due subsection, he Is apt To
realize that few men are really good
Listeners. He certainly learns that
sick man does not look upon things a
a well man does. and his charity to-
ward an invalid's whims is greatly in
creased. He can not fail, too, to be
touched and sOftened by the many
kind inquiries and pleasant messages
