Excerpt from The Homeopathic Journal of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Pedology, 1895, Vol. 17 In this connection it is interesting to note that it is but recently that these influences have been recognized by the authors of some of our best text-books on obstetrics. In Tarnier's edition of Cazeaux of 1884, we find the statement that nothing can be more obscure than the causes of extra uterine pregnancy, although it is intimated that paralysis and other diseases of the tube may conduce to it. Surprise during coitus, fear of surprise, or the fear of the result were usually mentioned as reasons for the failure of the ovum to continue in its course through the tube until it reached its normal site for development in the cavity of the uterus. It is only within the past few years that the profession has attained to a full appreciation of the influence excited by diseases affecting the integrity of the tube itself. Some authors advanced the theory that the ovum fell into the open mouths of some distended uterine veins, which of course do not empty into the fallopian tubes. Others assigned as a cause the migration of the fertilized ovum into the canal of Gartner, a channel whose very exist ence is doubted by most authorities of the present day, except as it may be found in some of the lower animals perhaps.

Excerpt from The Homeopathic Journal of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Pedology, 1897, Vol. 19 I venture to make these matters of precaution emphatic, because I have seen so marked disregard Of them in the practice of many physicians; but it is unnecessary to enter upon details here. The physician is not unfrequently called to women who have received no medical attention during, or immediately succeeding, the abortive act; and to others who have been seen by a physician only after the extruded matter has been destroyed. In the first instance it was presumed by the patient and her friends that the total product of conception had been expelled, and the physician was called at last because Of hemorrhage or signs of septic infection. In the second instance, the medical attendant who was called, not having the extruded substances for examination, and finding no clear evidence of incomplete abortion, probably assumed that the uterus was empty. In such instance the time ulti mately arrived when evidence of partial retention became conclusive, and made clear the demand for some form of intervention looking to uterine clearance.

First Conquer Thyself: Socialization of violence and abuse is often highly structured through the Munchausen Complex. Munchausen Syndrome occurs when an individual harms themselves for attention and self-glorification. Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy is when an individual harms another, usually under their care. Attention and self-glorification are achieved through their victim's subsequent medical treatment. Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy is a crime with a victim. Violence and abuse are often common in families, passed down from one generation to the next and may be termed Transgenerational Munchausen Syndrome as these families expand and their habits are introduced into society. Munchausen Syndrome in Collective Transmission occurs when such practices become an acceptable part of society often eventuating into full acculturation. In this way societies attach themselves to self-glorification with various explanations of justification. A Mandated Report is required to be filed by health care, legal, social service and educational professionals who suspect child abuse, as well as developers of film. As socialized beings, we are often unaware why we think what we think and why we do what we do. Exploring beneath the surface, we may discover we are not who we imagine we are. Are our subtle perversions and aberrations so different from those of the ancients, or other cultures we label primitive? The author was under military orders not to discuss the subjects presented in this part's Mandated Report on child abuse to the social body for the last six years of his U.S. Navy career. Censorship is strong when one questions social norms, folkways and rituals that address issues of identity. Internal, interpersonal and professional conflicts arise.

ISBN: 1685710026

Stitched together over five years of journaling, Obiter Dicta is a commonplace book of freewheeling explorations representing the transcription of a dozen notebooks, since painstakingly reimagined for publication. Organized after Theodor Adorno's Minima Moralia, this unschooled exercise in aesthetic thought--gleefully dilettantish, oftentimes dangerously close to the epigrammatic--interrogates an array of subject matter (although inescapably circling back to the curiously resemblant histories of Western visual art and instrumental music) through the lens of drive-by speculation. Erick Verran's approach to philosophical inquiry follows the brute-force literary technique of Jacques Derrida to exhaustively favor the material grammar of a signifier over hand-me-down meaning, juxtaposing outer semblances with their buried systems and our etched-in-stone intuitions about color and illusion, shape and value, with lessons stolen from seemingly unrelatable disciplines. Interlarded with extracts of Ludwig Wittgenstein but also Wallace Stevens, Cormac McCarthy as well as Roland Barthes, this cache of incidental remarks eschews what's granular for the biggest picture available, leaving below the hyper-specialized fields of academia for a bird's-eye view of their crop circles. Obiter Dicta is an unapologetic experiment in intellectual dot-connecting that challenges much long-standing wisdom about everything from illuminated manuscripts to Minecraft and the evolution of European music with lyrical brevity; that is, before jumping to the next topic.
