Thompson: The Cardiac Case 



33 



Summary 



The treatment for cardiac trouble consists mainly in follow- 

 ing the doctor's directions as to rest and diet. After compensa- 

 tion is established, the work, recreation, and habits of life must 

 constantly be supervised by a competent physician to prevent 

 relapse. 



The patient, his family, and employer must all be educated 

 to the place where they see that there are certain rules that must 

 be followed if the patient is to live. 



In the case of a school child the interest of the teacher should 

 be aroused in order to protect it from injury while under her care.
