Curious Case Vault #2 - Cholera Morbus
Manage episode 392031723 series 2935879
A 30 year old woman in 1842 comes down with an awful gastrointestinal illness and a physician is called. He recounts the case in this article and asks if this might have been something called "Cholera Morbus." We'll go through the case, talk about causes for this sort of thing, and do our best to guess the diagnosis. The approach to treating the disease in the 1840's was interesting, if nothing else.

This case comes to us from the archives of the Provincial Medical Journal and Retrospect of the Medical Sciences. 1842 Dec 3; 5(114): 189–190.
