Abstract

At first it was thought to start this case study by saying: this is a case of osteitis found in a caucasion boy aged 9 years, admitted to the Children's Ward in January 1981, etcetera. This caucasian was however a rather precocious little boy, herein called Jack, whose plaintive cry of Sister bring me a bottle, Sister scratch my back, Sister can I have some drops for pain must have been heard by the night and day staff at intervals over a period of five months. So I am going to commence in a far more informal manner by telling you about him and how he came to us with an original diagnosis of septicaemia.
