Pseudo-Appendicitis:
Menace of Mankind
By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D.
ECONOMIC philosophers have
repeatedly pointed out that modern
life is getting to be too much for the
average human nervous system to
stand. Gunpowder is the extreme
example. Gunpowder should never
have been invented; 99.9 per cent of
mankind simply hasn't enough char
acter to be allowed to play with gun
powder. The automobile is another;
at least one-third of the people
who are driving automobiles are
incapable of doing so safely.
The discovery of appendicitis was
a dangerous thing for certain types
of intellect. It became a popular

questions of general interest

his column.
word and is associated with a dis
ease causing pain in the right lower
part of the abdomen. This l:no\vl
edge has proved too much lor many
people.
Pseudo-Appendicitis
According to a physician at the
Mayo Clinic, the second commonest
functional trouble of the digestive
apparatus is pseudo-appendicitis.
Nervous men and women complain
of mild pain or soreness in the re
gion of the appendix. Some feel as
if they should be reaching down to
hold up the abdomen with the hand.
Often the distress comes on at in
tervals, mimicking attacks of acute
appendicitis.
That the pain originates in the
mind is proved by case.-- on record
in which the appendix has been re
moved and the pain persisted. In
the operation all the nerve path
ways from the appendix region are
severed, so the pain must be pro
jected from the brain or the mind.
in many cases the pain can be
proved to be in the skin of the ab
dominal wall because pinching the
skin alone produces typical pain.
A famous English surgeon, Ben
jamin Brodie, reported a case of a
middle-aged woman who had been
exposed during a considerable peri
od of time to great mental anxiety.
She complained of a constant severe
pain over the right side of the ab
domen. This persisted for years and
she died of an intercurrent disease.
On examining the body after death,
careful examination of all the tis
sues clear through the abdominal
wall to the back, at the site where
she had complained of pain, was
made. No morbid appearances could
be detected. There was neither in
flammation nor thickening, nor any
morbid change of structure and not
the slightest deviation of any kind
from the normal condition of the
part.
The important lesson is that un
less there is delinite objective proof
of appendicitis in the form of fever,
increase of the white cells of the
blood, increase of the pulse rate
and definite prostration, attacks of
pseudo-appendicitis do not call for
operative interference. In fact, op
eration in these cases almost in
variably makes the patient worse.
