seminaristНравится значительно больше, чем в первый раз. Одно смущает. Дикенс ведь известен клинической наблюдательностью. По его описаниям симптомов можно легко ставить диагнозы и назначать лечение. Но почему-то это относится только к невропатологии и психиатрии. Когда дело доходит до болезней соматических - сплошное отчаянье.
Вот скажите мне, чем именно болел юный Поль Домби? Что это за такая болезнь, при которой ребенок слабеет и чахнет, периодически теряет сознание - но нет никаких других признаков? Я понимаю, что разным неделикатным симптомам не место в викторианском романе, но мог же он хоть кашлять? Ни озноба, ни жара... Он уже умер, а я так и не знаю, что у него было. И вскрытия не делали :(

За вторую двух, нет, четырех рослых крепких мужиков в белых халатах. Как кто начнет жаловаться про отравление лучами или похищение разведкой какой-либо страны денег со счета на его мобильном телефоне...

Date: 2007-01-26 02:48 pm (UTC)Глубоко сомневаюсь. Лучами меня отравили, занзибарская разведка деньги со счета похитила - а теперь пришел пожаловаться родной власти - и что же? Обманом заманили в какую-то комнату, навалились четверо здоровенных амбалов, скрутили, укол сделали... Точно заговор.

- лейкоз (не все формы, острый лейкоз под описание не очень подходит),
- некоторые врождённые сердечные пороки,
Да мало ли...

I had furnished the house in the way common to habitations of its class. There were window curtains in the dining-room, window curtains in the consulting-room, window curtains in the drawing-room, window curtains in the bedrooms. There were carpets on all the floors ; there were unprotected papers on the walls ; there were wardrobes and other pieces of f urnitnre, which had their apparent height increased by cornices, within which were hollow paces, seemingly made on purpose to form harbours for dirt. There were ponderons bookshelves, containing a formidable amount of printed lumber, and a still more formidable amount of dust. The walls were old, with uneven surfaces, and to these uneven surfaces dirt clung with an almost touching tenacity. There were all sorts of fluffy things about, which were supposed to be ornamental, fancy mats and the like, and which blackened the fingers of any one bold enough to touch them. Last, but by no means least, there were the ever-increasing accumulations of rubbish, such as old clothes, old toys, old books and pamphlets, old newspapers, old music, and miscellaneous trumpery of every description. Upon all these things the dirt of a London street poured in without intermission. In dry weather the dust found its way through every chink; in wet weather the feet of visitors brought in mud, which dried into dust speedily. If the children romped for ten minutes in a carpeted room, the dust would lie in a thick layer upon the tables and chairs when they had finished. Dirt seemed to be omnipresent and all-pervading. It was plentiful in the air we breathed, it mingled with the food we ate and with the liquids we drank.
The house, thus arranged, was a scene of perpetual malaise and ailing. Somebody always had a " cold " or a headaohe, the former malady being now supposed to have little to do with temperature or with chills, but to be produced by the poisonous influence upon the mucous membrane of the respiratory passages of the septic dust which people breathe, and which, in the majority of instances, they trample out of their filthy carpets. The children were in London during the greater part of the year ; but it was absolutely necessary to send them frequently away for change, to the seaside or into the country, where they soon exchanged their pale checks for rosy ones. Two deaths occurred among them, in both cases from maladies the origin of which it seemed impossible to trace. In the early part of last year another child suffered from dangerons and prolonged illness ; and after that the germs of a disease which only too aoon proved fatal were developed in my wife. The conviction was at last forced upon me that we were placed under unwholesome conditions of living ; and I set myself to consider how these conditions might be ohanged.

Mercury exposure in very young children can have severe neurological consequences (...)
Mercury poisoning in the young is suspected as a possible cause of autistic behaviors, however there is a lack of quality peer-reviewed work on this matter and the claim of autism as mercury poisoning is considered suspect by mainstream medicine.
