Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Journal of Diseases of Children, 1911, Vol. 9 We make our appointments with the attending physicians for the earliest moment possible and see cases nights and Sundays with them, because occasionally twelve hours' delay will seem to be a possible cause of a fatal outcome. We go over the history, examine the case, and if it seems to us to warrant it, even though we may not consider it to be one of meningitis, we do a lumbar puncture. It takes tact and infinite patience to persuade some Of the poor, ignorant, foreign parents to allow us to do it, but usually if properly approached, they finally give in.
