If the doctor is conscientious, he wants to study the patient.

Secondly, the VA physician knows that when the patient leaves the hospital, he is no longer going to have a chance to visit his patient.

So many times I have wondered why veterinarians do not wipe the table clean before each new canine patient is placed on it for examination.

As shown in Fig. 4, an external antenna is placed over or around the patient and excited 3000 times a second with short 400-kc. bursts.

One of the advantages of this method is that the `` pill '' can remain in the patient for several days, permitting observation under natural conditions.

Particularly hard for the therapist to grasp are those instances in which the patient is manifesting an introject traceable to something in the therapist, some aspect of the therapist of which the latter is himself only poorly aware, and the recognition of which, as a part of himself, he finds distinctly unwelcome.

It is no coincidence that the hebephrenic patient, the most severely dedifferentiated of all schizophrenic patients, shows, as one of his characteristic symptoms, laughter -- laughter which now makes one feel scorned or hated, which now makes one feel like weeping, or which now gives one a glimpse of the bleak and empty expanse of man's despair ; ;

in working with these patients the therapist eventually gets to do some at least private mulling over of the possible meaning of a belch, or the passage of flatus, not only because he is reduced to this for lack of anything else to analyze, but also because he learns that even these animal-like sounds constitute forms of communication in which, from time to time, quite different things are being said, long before the patient can become sufficiently aware of these, as distinct feelings and concepts, to say them in words.

Of such hidden meanings the patient himself is, more often than not, entirely unaware.

This circumstance in the patient's case plus the fact that his tactual capacity remained basically in sound working order constitutes its exceptional value for the problem at hand since the evidence presented by the authors is overwhelming that, when the patient closed his eyes, he had absolutely no spatial ( that is, third-dimensional ) awareness whatsoever.

If the patient can perceive figure kinesthetically when he cannot perceive it visually, then, it would seem, the sense of touch has immediate contact with the spatial aspects of things in independence of visual representations, at least in regard to two dimensions, and, as we shall see, even this much spatial awareness on the part of unaided touch is denied by the authors.

The patient, on the other hand, is far from neutral ; ;

Naturally, the patient does not say, `` I hate my father '', or `` Sibling rivalry is what bugs me ''.

If the early approaches are wise, understanding and patient, the satisfactions of marital fulfillment will probably be discovered before the marriage is much older.

Mouthwash or mouth rinse is a chemotherapeutic agent used as an effective home care system by the patient to enhance oral hygiene.

This is sometimes seen when a patient is asked to reach out and touch someone's finger or touch his or her own nose.

For example, when a patient is flexing his or her elbow isometrically against a resistance.

Also, when the patient is standing with arms and hands extended toward the physician, if the eyes are closed, the patient's finger will tend to " fall down " and then be restored to the horizontal extended position by sudden muscular contractions ( the " ataxic hand ").

Speech is fluent and effortless with intact syntax and grammar, but the patient has problems with the selection of nouns.

Hamacher is a patient at the Catholic hospital where Paul and Albert Kropp are temporarily stationed.

Modafinil is unique in its effect on sleep ; it increases alertness and reduces drowsiness while the patient is active, but does not inhibit normal sleep.

When the patient brings about his or her own death with the assistance of a physician, the term assisted suicide is often used instead.

In the United Kingdom, the pro-assisted dying group Dignity in Dying cite conflicting research on attitudes by doctors to assisted dying: with a 2009 Palliative Medicine-published survey showing 64 % support ( to 34 % oppose ) for assisted dying in cases where a patient has an incurable and painful disease, while 49 % of doctors in a study published in BMC Medical Ethics oppose changing the law on assisted dying to 39 % in favour.

In Germany the annual cost per patient is less than 3000 euros, while heroin assisted treatment costs up to 10, 000 euros per year.

Computed tomography ( CT scanning ) is different to plain film tomography in that computer assisted reconstruction is used to generate a 3D representation of the scanned object / patient.

It is required in these states that the patient be of sound mind when requesting assisted suicide, as confirmed by a doctor and other witnesses, and that the patient be diagnosed with a terminal illness.

In nursing homes and assisted living facilities, the term resident is generally used in lieu of patient, but it is not uncommon for staff members at such a facility to use the term patient in reference to residents.

As a physician in a nursing home he has written about physician assisted suicide ( which has been legal in the Netherlands for some years ), most notably in his book Het refrein is Hein, which was translated into English ( by Keizer himself ) as Dancing with Mr D. His style is contemplative, with an undercurrent of realism ( or some would say pessimism ) about the limits of medicine which most people prefer not to think about, and a remarkable intellectual honesty about the emotions of the patient as well as the physician.

Emerging to the surface, the entrance of a hospital lies ahead: the interior contains patient rooms, a chapel, a morgue, an " assisted suicide " room and a baby carriage with a demonic hand sticking out of it as a tribute to It's Alive !.

In 2008, she played the part of a terminally ill patient who's travelled to Switzerland to have an assisted suicide in one of The Last Word monologues for the BBC.

Some medications ( for example, epinephrine for anaphylactic shock ( severe allergic reaction ) administered through an auto injection device such as an EpiPen ) can only be administered or " assisted " to a patient with a prior prescription.

During its history, many medical milestones have been recorded at the Hôtel-Dieu, including the world's first removal of a kidney ( 1868 ), the world's first removal of a tongue and jaw ( 1872 ), the first femur transplant ( 1959 ), the first identification of an AIDS patient in Canada ( 1979 ), the world's first successful recovery of a person with severe burns to 90 % of the body ( 1981 ), and the world's first robotically assisted laparoscopic surgery ( 1993 ).

They provide drug distribution and related services designed to reduce costs and improve patient outcomes, distribute a line of brand name and generic pharmaceuticals, over-the-counter ( OTC ) health care products and home health care supplies and equipment to a wide variety of health care providers located throughout the United States, including acute care hospitals and health systems, independent and chain retail pharmacies, mail-order facilities, physicians, clinics and other alternate site facilities, as well as skilled nursing and assisted living centers.

A somewhat less fragmented hebephrenic patient of mine, who used to often seclude herself in her room, often sounded through the closed door -- as I would find on passing by, between our sessions -- for all the world like two persons, a scolding mother and a defensive child.

Another patient, a paranoid woman, for many months infuriated not only me but the ward-personnel and her fellow patients by arrogantly behaving as though she owned the whole building, as though she were the only person in it whose needs were to be met.

This meant, concretely, that the patient could not read at all without making writing-like movements of the head or body, became easily confused by `` hasher marks '' inserted between hand-written words and thus confused the mark for one of the letters, and could recognize a simple straight line or a curved one only by tracing it.

As one would surmise, the procedure, however, could be repeated with the same object or with the same type of object often enough, so that the corresponding visual blots and the merest beginning of the tracing movement would provide clues as to the actual shape, which the patient then immediately could determine by a kind of inference.

Quite naturally, they make the investigation, first, by prohibiting the patient from making any movements at all and then, later, by repeating it and allowing the patient to move in any way he wanted to.

Yet, in spite of this, intensive study of the taped interviews by teams of psychotherapists and linguists laid bare the surprising fact that, in the first five minutes of an initial interview, the patient often reveals as many as a dozen times just what's wrong with him ; ;

Moreover, the diabetic patient who relies on cure by the quack device and therefore cuts off his insulin intake can be committing suicide.

While women had always attended ball games in small numbers ( it was the part of a `` dead game sport '' in the early years of the twentieth century to be taken out to the ball park and to root, root, root for the home team ), they had often sat in patient martyrdom, unable even to read the scoreboard, which sometimes seemed to indicate that one team led another by a score of three hundred and eighty to one hundred and fifty-one.

They would still be paid by the patient.
