Warts
Fibromyalgia
P. 867 Credulity in matters relating to disease remains a permanent fact in our history, uninfluenced by education. But let us not be to hard on poor human nature. Even Pericles, most sensible of men, allowed the women to put an amulet around his neck. [and this goes on in tis vein]…..he looked over the large literature on the subject of ‘faith healing’: In all ages, and in all lands, the prayer of faith, to use the words of St. James, has healed the sick; and we must remember that amid the Aesculapian cult, the most elaborate and beautiful system of faith- healing the world has seen, scientific medicine took its rise. As a profession, consciously or unconsciously, more often the latter, faith has been one of our most valuable assets, and Galen expressed a great truth when he said, ‘He cures most successfully in who the people have the most confidence. It is in these cases of neurasthenia and psychasthenia [in these days chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, etc] the weak brothers and the weak sisters, that the personal character of the physician comes into play, and once let him gain the confidence of the patient,. he can work the same sort of miracles as Our Lady of Lourdes. Three elements are necessary: first a strong personality in whom the individual has faith – Christ, Budda….or, what has served the turn of common humanity very well, a physician. Secondly, certain accessories, s shrine, a sanctuary….or, for us, a hospital or its equivalent with a skillful nurse. Thirdly, suggestion, either of the ‘only believe’, ‘feel it’, ‘will it’, attitude of mind which is the essence of every cult and creed, or the active belief in the assurance of the physician that the precious boon of health is within reach.
Emergency Care
We have been fortunate to walk in Osler’s Shadow and his principles guide us in our dermatology practice. The office philosophy holds that “diseases do not make appointments.” Too often, when the day for the office visit arrives, the problem has resolved itself. Our staff feels that this practice should be available when your problem is acute and we will strive to be of service to all in need of emergency care and attention.

Dermatology
Dermatology Central is a resource for persons who have skin disorders and/or who have visited a dermatologist. The site is meant to compliment DermNet NZ, an extremely comprehensive resource on skin disorders, by providing a different type of information: treatment protocols, controversies, news articles, the latest research findings. Both sites will enable people who want to be managers of their own care to help direct their physicians.
