  • Diagnosis

    Leg tumour

  • Treatment
    Previous Treatment:

    Physician at the time used various remedies (unspecified), which resulted in a tumour and numbness in her left foot in two weeks. This crept up her leg and thigh.

    "She begg'd heartily of me for help, but Alass! what cou'd I propose to releive her? Nothing but ye taking of her Thigh; wch she wou'd not consent to. I was not sorry for her not admiting of ye operation, because I cou'd not expect any success in ye performing it, by reason of her Age, weakness &c." Calep advised her friends to apply fomentations.


    Response:

    Had left patient for dead and was surprised to find her still alive a month later. Black fetid matter discharging from leg. Enlarged orifice on thigh to aid it. Again, left her for dead and was surprised five weeks later to find her alive: tumour seperated of its own accord. At this point, he decided to remove her leg.
