About the symbolic designation of surgical operations

Abstract

As the title suggests, the present communication concerns an area where the interests of the surgeon and therapist are alike. At the present time, when voices in favor of closer cooperation between these two vast specialties are being heard more and more, the content of our work, it seems to us, corresponds in the closest way to this direction. How often does it happen that patients who seek help from a surgeon and have undergone surgery again turn to a therapist with the same complaints, but with a scar on their abdomen. And this is not surprising. The very nature of the ailments of such patients is so stubborn that either does not give in to the knife, or gives relapses, or else forces this kind of intervention, which in itself is far from indifferent to the patient and creates his antiphysiological conditions in the body. Such are, for example, cancer and stomach ulcers with complex and daring operations and subsequent ulcuspepticum and circulus vitiosus, such are unrecognized diseases and inappropriate operations that were unnecessary and could therefore not eliminate the patient's basic and initial complaints.
