sciously. feel this way.
Fear Of Death Is Factor
The ever-present fear OF
death plays an important role
In emotional reactions which
can influence the outcome OF
surgery.
Certain organs have a high
symbolic life-and-death signif-
icance. The outstanding ex-
ample is the heart. The ply

manlacal behavior Just prior To
surgery.
Sometimes in the mind Of a
child or an adult. there is
knowledge OF or identification
with some person who died
after an operation. This may
lead TO undue anxiety.
Children, particularly, may be
disturbed at the prospect Of
facing a minor operation after
hearing OF a death down the
corridor in a hospital,
Cite Personality Effects
Strangely enough. prospects
OF successful surgery may be
threatening to the personality.
The authors cite the case Of a
l2-year-old girl born with a
hand growing from the shoul-
der. The parents we're happy
with the results Of the correc-
tive operation.
But, the girl became severely
depressed. Her entire life had
been centered around this dis
ability. She had attention,
sympathy and solicitation.
Afterwards she had to begin
growing up again.
/ PsychiatristS have discovered
that post-operative delirium
has been miSdiagnosed as a
major pSychosis, sometimes.
This type of post-operative be-
havior should. the authors say,
be investigated for possible in
fection, drug toxicity and fluid
imbalance.
Actually, irrational fears and
reactions to surgical expert
ences are frequent.
Explanation Helps
Morbid introspection and ap-
prehension often can be re-
duced, the authors say, by a
fortnight explanation Of the
entire process of the operation.
The physicians agree that
special consideration should be
given to maintaining the pa
tents ties with his family. Ger
tainly, children feel more secure
when given a favorite toy to
keep with them.
A key member Of the family
definitely should be present
