Re: Instilling milk in bladder

Hello, I find this question of some historical interest. I have tried to remember the latest time I witnessed this use of milk in the urinary bladder. I come to the conclusion that it must have been more than 20 years ago.

Did this request come from a nurse in Washington DC or from a nurse in a remote place? It would be interesting to know the answer to that question.

Best regards Ingemar Joelsson
