FIG. 58. CHARTS SHOWING EFFECT OF FEAR UPON THE PULSE. 



The patient, a foreigner, was brought to the operating room from the 

 accident ward, pulse and temperature normal. When he found himself in 

 the operating room he was greatly disturbed. It was impossible to make 

 him understand that his leg was not to be amputated, but only a plaster 

 cast applied. Under the stimulus of fear his pulse rose to 150, and he soon 

 developed a temperature of 101.2 degrees.
