The lack of a multidisciplinary approach is certainly among the causes of the ineffectiveness of intervention in the field of cardiovascular secondary prevention. By multidisciplinary approach is meant involving cardiologists, nurses, rehabilitation therapists, dieticians as well as psychologists in the framing of interventions tailor made to patients needs. In particular, people working in the nursing area can play a very important role which can be summed up into three different levels: a technical level, aiming at the cooperation with cardiologists to carry out diagnostic examinations and give a portrait of patients in terms of risks; a second level consists in giving information, and helping to face the disease, as well as stepping in during its evolution, almost a health counsellor for the patients; finally the nurse can act as a psychological support both to the patient and his/her family during acute illnesses and reassure him/her that he/she is being treated properly and that successively will resume a good quality of life. Hospital represent an ideal place for secondary prevention, at least in the first phases of the intervention. The results collected during hospitalization would be rapidly lost if they were not followed and sustained in the medium- long term by structured follow-up programmes. The development of ambulatories might represent a link between hospitals and the territory, i.e. the specialist and one’s personal physician. The staff of ambulatories should comprise a cardiologist and a trained professional nurse, this being specialized, specifically, in cardiology and cardiovascular prevention. Staff of the type described could work independently, co-ordinating ambulatories on the territory within the framework of standardized recognized protocols and relating information concerning patients, general practitioners and other surgeries. In this way, an essential link of the continuity in medical care would be guaranteed.

DR. RICHARD OLMSTED: I would like to ask both Dr. Green and Dr. Friedman about the matter of the child being in the hospital as opposed to being at home. What effect does this have on the child, and, conversely perhaps, what effect does it have on the parents who are keeping a child who may be close to being terminal at home? Very often we adopt the philosophy that it is better for the child to be at home, but I am sure this creates difficulties for parents at times. DR. Morris Green: We usually assume in this country that terminal care can best be handled in the hospital; however, in recent years we have questioned this concept, and now we like to have as much of this care occur at home as is practicable. In order to do this effectively, however, we should provide the family with supportive services from the hospital, a type of home care program involving the physician, the social worker, and the nurse. With some of our recent patients the nurse has been present in the home at the time of death and has made visits frequently before that time. The hospital physician has also been there. We do not have sufficient data on this, but I think there are many things to be said in its favor. As we are now examining other aspects of hospital care of children, we should also examine this method of terminal care. Is it best for the child to be in the hospital at this time or can he be cared for better at home with supplementary services from the hospital? Certainly I think this is an area in which the personal physician of the family needs to have some support from the community oriented hospital.

Claudius Galenus is one of the most remarkable figures in medical history. Born at Pergamos in Asia Minor, A.D. 131, he travelled extensively, studied medicine at Alexandria, and in 162 settled in Rome, where in 169 he became the personal physician to the Emperor Marcus Aurelius. In his text entitled Hygiene (De Sanitate Tuenda) he described the care of the newborn infant as follows: The newborn infant, in his entire constitution, should first be powdered moderately and wrapped in swaddling-clothes, in order that his skin may be made thicker and firmer than the parts within. For during pregnancy everything was equally soft, since nothing of a harder nature touched it from without, and no cold air came in contact with it, whereby the skin would be contracted and thickened, and would become tougher and denser than it was before and than the other parts of the body. But when the baby is born, it is necessarily going to come in contact with cold and heat and with many bodies harder than itself. Therefore it is appropriate that his natural covering should be best prepared by us for exposure. For infants who are in accordance with nature, a simple salt dusting-power is sufficient; for those whom it is necessary to sprinkle with dried leaves of myrrh, or something else of this sort, are obviously abnormal. But at present it is our purpose to discuss those of the best constitution. These, then, as has been said, having been wrapped in swaddling-clothes, should receive milk for nourishment, and baths of pure water; for they require a completely moist regime, since they have a moister constitution than those of other ages. . . .

Evaluation Of Care

The purpose of the investigation was to identify and analyze problems and attitudes which may contribute to the perceived quality of health care in the emergency room. To assess the extent of these problems a 51-item questionnaire was administered in the emergency rooms of two major hospitals. Questionnaires were distributed to Physicians, Nurses, Technicians, and Patients. Results revealed significant differences between patients and staff attitudes toward the emergency status of most patients, the types of illnesses appropriate to the emergency room, treatment for belligerents (in no serious danger), special training of M.D.'s for emergency room duty, the types of patients treated as teaching cases, the major causes of waiting time, types of patients who receive the most and least time in actual treatments, waiting time for various services, types of patients who receive the most and least care, and time spent in treatment and its association with quality of care. Similarities in patient and staff attitudes were found in attitudes towards sources of referral, availability of personal physician, appropriate patient behavior at various stages of diagnosis and/or care, role of the receptionist, ordering of treatment as a function of urgency of the illness, role of communication between doctor and patient, acceptable waiting time before seeing physician, costs associated with care, evaluation of care provided by physicians and nurses, and reimbursement of costs as a function of source of payment.

Lillias Hamilton trained as a doctor in London, qualified in 1890 and practiced in Calcutta and later in Afghanistan where she was the personal physician to the Amir and the only Western doctor. After six years abroad, she returned to England but owing partly to establishment prejudice was unsuccessful in setting up a London practice and eventually became the Principal of a Women's Agricultural College. Her career illustrates the aspects of medical practice abroad in the 1890s, as well as the difficulties encountered by women doctors in England even after the route to qualification in the UK had been opened.

Abraham Miguel Cardoso was born to a crypto-Jewish family living in Rio Seco, Spain, in the year 1626. He left Spain with with his older brother Isaac in 1648. Abraham Cardoso has usually been discussed within the larger context of the Sabbatian movement, which he served as one of its major theoreticians. Until his death in 1706, Cardoso found himself almost constantly under attack by the rabbinical authorities in the cities where he tried to settle with his family, although he sometimes found local non-Jewish authorities who would offer him protection. He served for some time as the personal physician to the bey of Tripoli and later to the local potentate in Tunis. In the last decades of his life, after the death of Sabbatai Zebi, he engaged in bitter debates with other leading Sabbatians about the divinity of the Messiah. Cardoso rejected wholeheartedly what he saw as their adoption of a Christian messialogy. Gershom Scholem's analysis of Cardoso's theology as Gnostic has remained fundamentally unchallenged. Scholem saw in Cardoso's thinking the crystallization of what he believed was the latent antinomian Gnosticism within Kabbalah and especially within the later strata of theZohar, and he pointed to Cardoso's likely acquaintance with Gnostic ideas, filtered through the Church Fathers (read during theological studies in Spain), as the most significant factor in precipitating this crystallization (see expecially Scholem 1980, pp. 333–334; Scholem 1971a, pp. 65–74; Scholem 1971c, pp. 104–107).
