Doctor's Notes

—Symptoms
The doctor mentioned
a feeling of malaise
with
despondency
dreadful cough
nervous debilitation
burning sensations
liver complaint
genital lesions

Those carbuncles,
round as a young virgin's breasts
mixed with
catarrh of the lungs
profuse expectoration
bulging goiter
loss of eye motion
blue-tinged lips

Diagnosis—
wasting away
reduced to a skeleton
and
completely wrecked
