A survey of appointment breaking in the Medical Clinic of the Boston Children's Hospital Medical Center showed that approximately 20% of patients broke their appointments. These patients were more likely to have shown evidence of social disorganization. Personal physician care appeared to lower the broken appointment rate although there appeared to be an irreducible minimum which in either the personal physician clinic or in the private office was a cancellation. Additional gaps in medical care noted in those who broke their appointments included inadequate immunizations, dissatisfactions with medical care, and ill-defined need to see a physician.

Psychiatric Manifestations

This report comprises concurrent studies of the urologic and psychiatric manifestations of intrapsychic conflict among a group of children who had been admitted to the surgical wards of The Children's Hospital Medical Center, Boston, between 1965 to 1970 for complaints of disordered urination. Experience with these children indicates that anxiety can alter the frequency and disturb the adequacy of voiding to a degree sufficient to dispose the child to urinary tract infection. This effect of anxiety can occur both in the presence or absence of a demonstrable anatomic lesion. It suggests that an assessment of the degree and nature of the child's anxiety should be an integral part of the pediatric urologic examination.

Rumack and Temple in their thoughtful analysis of Lomotil poisoning1 note that narcotic antagonists should be used "as soon as adequate indications exist." From our experience with Lomotil toxicity in the last three years at Children's Hospital Medical Center and with other drugs producing narcotic like effects,2.3 we would like briefly to comment on the indications for the use of the narcotic antagonist, naloxone (Narcan) hydrochloride. Four prominent signs of naloxone efficacy exist: (1) dilatation of constricted pupils; (2) increase in depth and rate of respiratory effort; (3) reversal of hypotension; and (4) correction of an obtunded or comatose state.4

Twenty patients with phenothiazine toxicity admitted to the Children's Hospital Medical Center have been reviewed. In any patient presenting with bizarre neurological symptoms, phenothiazine toxicity should be borne in mind. Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) was found to be useful in both diagnosis and treatment. The use of phenothiazines in the treatment of acute nausea and vomiting in childhood is questioned.
