22/11/21—Large dress hook rusted and encrusted removed
from ear.
11/1/22—Discharge much worse—now polypus. In order to
try the possibility of ionization, I managed to get
the parent to tako the child to Dr. A, at the
Metropolitan Ear, Nose and Throat Hospital, but
no further visits were made.
9/2/22—Meatus almost entirely blocked by large polypus
which appears to rise mainly from anterior wall.
Discharge now offensive. The child was still being
treated every day at the Clinic.
23/2/22—Arrangements made for the child to have operative
treatment.
27/3/22—Septic throat. Nothing done so far. Excluded.
10/4/22—Tonsils still enlarged but cleaner. Ears still
discharging. Very unsatisfactory case. Child much
thinner, white and ill. If no operative treatment
advised for ear, child requires prolonged convalescent
treatment.
29/4/22—Letter to Dr. " A."
" You will remember the girl I sent up to
you, who has a large polypus in her ear, who you
suggested dealing with. The condition is perfectly
hopeless without some operative interference. Could
you make arrangements to deal with the case at
the hospital ?."
9/5/22—Letter from Secretary, Ear, Nose and Throat
Hospital.
" Dr. " A " has asked me to write to you with
reference to the child who attended this hospital.
It will cost two guineas for an operation. She
will probably be in hospital 5 or 6 days. If
however, they could get an in-patients letter,
' Hospital Saturday Fund ' or ' Subscribers letter,'
they would not have to pay."
