About this work

Description

A fascinating insight into the post-operative treatment of cancer patients. Detailed case studies include filmed speech therapy sessions with two patients following surgical laryngectomy, a short film in which a female patient is shown how to care for her stoma, a short film in which a female patient describes what it's like to have a chest drain and an interview with a cancer patient about her pain management regime. Drs Robbie and McKinna discuss different pain relief medications - from mild analgesics such as paracetamol through to morphine and diamorphine. Professor Symington introduces discussions by Taylor, McKinna and Morgan summing up the different subjects that have been covered in the Cancer Research Today series.

Notes

This video is one of around 310 titles, originally broadcast on Channel 7 of the ILEA closed-circuit television network, given to Wellcome Trust from the University of London Audio-Visual Centre shortly after it closed in the late 1980s. Although some of these programmes might now seem rather out-dated, they probably represent the largest and most diversified body of medical video produced in any British university at this time, and give a comprehensive and fascinating view of the state of medical and surgical research and practice in the 1970s and 1980s, thus constituting a contemporary medical-historical archive of great interest. The lectures mostly take place in a small and intimate studio setting and are often face-to-face. The lecturers use a wide variety of resources to illustrate their points, including film clips, slides, graphs, animated diagrams, charts and tables as well as 3-dimensional models and display boards with movable pieces. Some of the lecturers are telegenic while some are clearly less comfortable about being recorded; all are experts in their field and show great enthusiasm to share both the latest research and the historical context of their specialist areas.
