HEART TROUBLE
THE WRONG SORT
Ts'KW YORK, April 30.
Lord Horder, the King's doctor, told the New York Medical Society yesterday that a ppecialist sometimes diagnoses the wrong kind of heart disease.
Tie was called in one day, he said, to examine a woman who had been told by another specialist that she had heart trouble. He could find no trace of if, and told the patient so. Sho explained that her husband had been maintaining another establishment, and that the shock of the discovery was so great that she had not slept for three nights. Her husband had called a doctor, who had summoned the specialist. "But why didn't you tell him what caused your shock and your rapid pulse?" asked Lord Horder.
"I tried to," replied the woman, "but he just put up his hand and said: 'Don't interrupt. I'm making my observations.' "
