This article is a review of a recent book by Alison Stallibrass about the study of the biological aspects of human health, which was undertaken in the 1920s/1940s and known as the Peckham experiment. It examines the implications of the study and the theories of health which arose from it, for the direction which health care might take, in the light of the current re-examination of the NHS, which resulted from the recent white papers 'Working for patient' and 'Caring for people'. It concludes that nurses may find lessons in the experiment to guide their practice, where the indications are that nursing is developing a broader, more holistic role.
From 1964 to 1976, 238 patients with carcinoma of the cervix were treated with irradiation and surgery. Their medical records were reviewed retrospectively. Three patients became jaundiced after operation as a result of pigment overload and sepsis. Exposure to halothane did not appear to be a significant aetiological factor.
