There is practically no difference in the post-operative headache
and the office headache. There is of course the usual multiplicity
of causes, and as a matter of fact in this condition treatment
can more nearly approach the ordinary office treatment, and the
results are about the same. As for backache, we find that speed of
operating and not keeping the patient under the ether too long has
a marked influence. Also we have a four inch Seely mattress on the
operating table which helps some. Treatment does the rest and does it
effectively. For this complication even the ordinary nurse knows enough
to give a treatment of some sort.
