What to Do Until The Doctor Comes By Charlotte C. West, M. D. Series of Articles Written Especially for The Evening World Copyright. 1919, by The Press Publishing Co. (The New York Evening World). Conditions of Unconsciousness—Apoplexy HERE are a number of conditions of unconsciousness that strike terror to the hearts of the uninitiated, and of these perhaps the most distressing is a sudden attack of apoplexy—stroke. ' The victim of a cerebral hemorrhage (apoplexy) is usually stricken | without warning, and from this reason may be overcome at any time, while |{m the routine performance of everyday duties, while travelling, while sleep- |ing peacefully, or, what often happens, while laboring under the influence lot powerful emotions, Again, there may be what is termed “prodromal” ‘symptoms, a vague feeling of unrest, headache, a giddy seizure, and so on. | However, the accident—for that it is—comes on as most accidents do, with Jan abruptness that may strike one down while walking on the street, or throw one suddenly on the floor while speaking, or hurl one from a chair | while eating; hence the well-named term “stroke.” Consciousness is almost instantly abolished, In this condition the victim lies motionless, breathing with a peculiar noisiness that adds to the alarm of bystanders, As a rule the face is flushed, covered with sweat and absolutely blank, The eyes are half open, with contracted pupils, insen- | sible to light or touch; in fact, all sensation has been stamped out, and this condition either ends speedily in death or slowly passes away. Recovery from apoplexy is not rare, and would be far more frequent if intelligent and immediate treatment were instituted. As a rule, nothing is done until the arrival of a physician, by which time the hemorrhage in the brain will have inundated the immediate field of disaster and have | made such serious inroads into the brain tissue as to cause permanent if | not fatal injury to those structures, In accidents, as in all incidents of life, one’s conduct is based upon common sense and @ rational course of procedure. Now, in apoplexy, i ‘stands to reason that whatever will prevent the blood from pouring inte the brain, through the ruptured artery which is causing the trouble, wild add to the patient's chances of recovery, and whatever will drain the blood, \from the head will do the same. ‘The first step is to free the neck’ of all bands and loosen the clothings |raise the head and apply an ice cap if possible; place a pillow or an article of clothing made into a roll under the head in sweh a manner that the 66 QVAY.” remarked Mr, Jarr, in) her own welfare—a good-liearted lite) neck is upright and free, so that the next step can be carried out perfocthte Ss a confidential manner, “I've] woman, who has had @ al of} This next step is of such importance that [ cannot emphasize it tog nething to tell you that) sorrow in her life.
