- Abstract:
- "John Bull as a Chinese, in Chinese costume, hugely corpulent sits full-face in an arm-chair, legs extended, hands resting on the sides of his paunch. He looks to three doctors on the left, the foremost being Grey, who leans towards him, pointing to his colleagues (left), and saying suavely, 'This deformity is quite inconsistent, believe me, with the Nature of your Constitution & therefore must be got rid of, I will undertake with your approbation, to remove it & my assistant Doctor Russell here will prepare you for the Operation'. Lord John Russell, on the extreme left, speaks confidentially to Althorp who is in back view: 'I once thought that a case of this description ought to be treated with great caution and even wrote as well as talked a great deal about it, but now I am quite of a different opinion I think there is nothing like cutting away thro' thick & thin!' J. B.: 'I ca'nt say that my bodily health was ever better, or that I ever felt stronger tho' to be sure I am not growing younger; but then every one is telling me how deformed I am grown of late & this tumour which I have had from my infancy is all a Mass of Corruption'. On the right and slightly farther from the picture-plane, the rival doctors, Peel and Wellington, are in consultation. The Duke: 'I say the Man has no defect in his Constitution & that what they call corruption is necessary to his existance--but now because he would not believe me, but choses rather to submit to the experiments of these rash operators --Wharnecliffe who is a sensible Man lays all the blame on me'. Peel: 'Yet I begin to think we could have done better, when we found him determined to think that his Constitution was impaired, to have tried--just in the way of soothing, a gentle alterative Course'."--British Museum online catalogue, description of a variant state

- Description:
- Title supplied by curator., Date based on report of patient's surgery., Peter Parker First Quarterly Report of the Hospital, Chinese Repository 1836-1837, vol. 5, p. 457: Sarcomatous tumor. Lo Washun, aged 41. This interesting woman of the first society of her native village, had been twenty years afflicted with a tumor upon the left side of the face. It was situated below the ear, extending forward below the cheek, and down upon the side of the neck, so as nearly to touch the clavicle. As usual, the traces of the cautery and escharotics of the native practitioners were seen upon it; and the patient stated that it had been lanced, and the hemorrhage in consequence was arrested with difficulty. After having attended to the general health, on the 15th December the tumor was successfully removed. The patient endured the operation with fortitude characteristic of the Chinese. The loss of blood was considerable, she vomited but did not faint. She feared lest a large eschar might disfigure her face. By making the incision rather perpendicularly, from the ear towards the trachea, sufficient facial integument was preserved to bring the wound behind and below the angle of the jaw. The wound healed by the first intention and in ten days the dressing was wholly removed. The face had nearly its natural appearance. Grateful and happy, she returned to her husband and family., and This electronic record is derived from historic data and may not reflect our current information.

- Case No. 3488 and Woo Pun
- Description:
- Title supplied by curator., Date supplied by curator., Seventh report, Chinese Repository vol. 6. 1836-1837, p. 436-437: No. 3488. Cartilaginous tumor. Woo Pun, aged 41, a shoemaker of Pwanyü, have been afflicted with a large unshapen tumor upon the left side of his neck. It hung pendulous from the submaxilliary, extending backward over the external jugular vein and carotid artery, forwards to the opposite side of the trachea and downwards to the breast. For the last ten years its growth was rapid, and from its magnitude it had become very cumbersome. It was as large as the man’s head, and so hard as not to yield to the pressure of the thumb. Centrally it was diseased and having perforated by an escharotics of an Chinese practitioner, it emitted a most offensive discharge. The aperture was half an inch in diameter and as regular as if formed by a drill. The patient kept it closed with a stopple, every morning evacuating some ounces of offensive fluid. His constitution had begun to suffer. On the 19th June, assisted by Messrs Cox, Cullen and Jardine, the tumor was removed in about five minutes. Several veins of considerable size were divided. (...) The tumor was two feet in circumference and weighed 7 lbs. The patient scarce uttered a groan. In twenty minutes he was comfortable in bed. (...) At 1 o’clock A.M. a servant called; and when I arrived at the hospital, the poor man was apparently gasping his last. He was very bloody and evidently made a desperate struggle without success to loosen the bandage. The neck was instantly freed of the roller. His pulse was just perceptible, his extremities were already cold; he foamed at the nose, and breathed stertorously, as in apoplexy. His mouth was immediately freed of phlegm, and his nose of blood; stimulants were applied, and also administered internally, and bottles of warm water put to his feet. (...) Probably the brother [his brother?] fell asleep and awoke only by the almost dying struggle of the patient. Two or three minutes delay in coming to his relief might have been too late! (...) In one month he was perfectly recovered. He has repeatedly visited the hospital. His constitution was wonderfully recovered and from the inroads of the disease and he again enjoys excellent health, and evinced unbound gratitude. He sees to regard the favor received, as conferring on him full liberty to introduce and all his diseased friends. This is very uniformly the case with such as have received any special benefit., and This electronic record is derived from historic data and may not reflect our current information.
