Dear Sigmund Freud,

I hope this letter finds you in moments of comfort amidst your challenging condition. I understand that you have been previously treated with Orthoform for pain relief, and it is of utmost importance that any medical personnel attending to you are well-versed in its application, especially given its critical role in managing your symptoms.

Orthoform, as you may recall, is a local anesthetic and bactericidal desiccant that has been used to alleviate pain in mucosal lesions such as those you have experienced. Its application is relatively straightforward but must be done with care to avoid any further irritation to the affected area.

**Application of Orthoform:**

1. **Preparation**: Before applying Orthoform, it is essential to ensure that the area is as clean as possible to prevent infection and to allow for the best possible adherence of the powder to the lesion.

2. **Application**: A small amount of Orthoform powder should be gently sprinkled onto the lesion or ulcerated area. This can be done using a clean, dry spatula or a similar instrument to carefully distribute the powder over the surface.

3. **Dosage**: The amount of Orthoform used should be just enough to cover the lesion lightly. Over-application should be avoided as it may lead to excess powder being dislodged and swallowed, which is not desirable.

4. **Frequency**: The frequency of application will depend on the severity of your symptoms and the rate at which the Orthoform is naturally removed from the lesion by saliva or other means. It may be necessary to reapply the powder after meals or as directed by your physician.

5. **Monitoring**: After application, it is important to monitor the lesion for any signs of adverse reaction, such as increased irritation, redness, or swelling. If any such symptoms occur, the use of Orthoform should be discontinued, and medical advice should be sought.

6. **Hygiene**: As with any medication, hand hygiene is crucial before and after the application of Orthoform to prevent the spread of infection.

It is also worth noting that while Orthoform can provide significant pain relief, it does not address the underlying cause of the lesion. Therefore, it is typically used as part of a broader treatment plan that may include other interventions such as surgery or radiotherapy.

Given your medical history and the complexity of your condition, it is imperative that any healthcare provider who attends to you is fully informed of your past treatments, current medications, and any allergies or sensitivities you may have. This will ensure that they can provide you with the best possible care.

Please rest assured that I will communicate the importance of this knowledge to all new personnel who may be involved in your care. Your comfort and well-being are of the highest priority.

If you have any further questions or concerns regarding the use of Orthoform or any other aspect of your treatment, please do not hesitate to reach out. My team and I are here to support you through this difficult time.

With warm regards and best wishes for your health,

Freuds Kampf gegen den Krebs: Eine historische Betrachtung seiner Behandlung und des Einflusses von Kokain

Dear Mr. Freud,

Thank you for reaching out with your inquiry. I understand that you are concerned about the potential link between your past cocaine consumption and the medical issues you have experienced. It is indeed true that recent literature has explored the effects of cocaine on various health aspects, and this could be a topic worth discussing with your medical team.

Regarding your question about the timing of the neck dissection performed by Professor Pichler, I can confirm that the procedure took place on **October 4, 1923**. This extensive surgery involved a neck dissection and ligation of the external carotid artery, as you may recall.

If you would like to delve deeper into the new literature concerning cocaine use and its potential health implications, or if you have any other concerns, please do not hesitate to schedule an appointment with us. Dr. Truppe is available to discuss these matters with you and address any questions you may have.

In urgent cases, please remember that you can reach Dr. Truppe directly at the number **+43 1 4089500 66**.

We are here to support you and are committed to finding the best possible solutions for your health concerns. Your well-being is our utmost priority.

Warm regards,

**Glossary:**

– **Neck dissection**: A surgical procedure for the removal of lymph nodes and surrounding tissue in the neck to treat or prevent the spread of cancer.
– **Ligation**: The surgical process of tying up a blood vessel or other duct to prevent bleeding or the flow of fluids.
– **Cocaine consumption**: The use of the stimulant drug cocaine, which can have various effects on health, including potential risks to the cardiovascular system and other organs.

### 2024-01-05 20:08 Telekonsultation

Dear Dr. Freud,

I hope this letter finds you in a moment of comfort amidst your challenging circumstances. I understand you have concerns regarding the potential impact of cocaine consumption on your current health issues. Cocaine is a powerful stimulant with vasoconstrictive properties, which can contribute to tissue ischemia and may impair wound healing. It is also associated with various systemic effects that could potentially exacerbate existing health conditions.

While cocaine was used in the past as a local anesthetic and for various medicinal purposes, contemporary medical literature has elucidated the risks associated with its use, particularly with chronic exposure. It is important to consider that your extensive use of nicotine, with a history of consuming 20 cigars a day, is a significant risk factor for the development of oral and oropharyngeal cancers. The carcinogenic compounds in tobacco smoke are well-documented to contribute to the mutation of cells, leading to malignancies.

Regarding the surgical interventions you have undergone, Professor Felix Pichler performed the neck dissection on October 4, 1923. This procedure involved the ligation of the right external carotid artery to minimize hemorrhage during subsequent surgery. The histological examination of the surgical specimen from this procedure did not reveal signs of malignancy, which must have been a momentary relief. However, the subsequent discovery of malignant tissue necessitated further operations.

It is evident that you have endured a great deal through your surgical journey, and the persistence of your condition despite multiple interventions is indeed distressing. The dedication of your medical team, led by Professor Pichler, in crafting maxillary and mandibular prostheses to correct the defects from the operations, reflects the complexity and the individualized care you have received.

Please rest assured that your medical team is committed to providing you with the best possible care, guided by the latest advancements in medical science and a deep understanding of your unique case. Your courage and resilience in facing these challenges are truly commendable.

If you have any further questions or need clarification on any aspect of your treatment or the effects of substances such as cocaine on your health, please do not hesitate to reach out.

With my warmest regards for your comfort and well-being,

### 2024-01-05 19:50 Telekonsultation

Dear Dr. Freud,

I understand your concerns and the distress that uncertainty can bring, especially when it pertains to one’s health and well-being. It is indeed regrettable that you have experienced such prolonged periods of anxiety and discomfort. I will provide you with a detailed account of the surgical procedures that have been performed, as per the records available.

**First Operation – April 20, 1923:**
The initial surgical intervention was an excision of the lesion on your right posterior hard palate. Unfortunately, the procedure was not executed optimally. The surgical margins were not adequately assessed for the presence of tumor cells, and there was significant bleeding. Post-operative care was also less than satisfactory, leading to a distressing experience for you.

**Second Operation – October 4 and 11, 1923:**
This operation was conducted in two stages. The first stage involved ligation of the right external carotid artery to minimize bleeding during the subsequent surgery. The submandibular gland and lymph nodes were also removed. The second stage entailed the use of electrocautery to remove part of the right maxilla and sections of the lower jaw. Skin grafts were applied to the affected areas, and a prosthesis was inserted. Despite these measures, a recurrence of the malignancy was noted shortly after.

**Third Operation – November 12, 1923:**
This procedure involved the removal of the remaining right pterygoid process and a significant portion of the right side of the soft palate. Unfortunately, the soft palate later deteriorated, resulting in a maxillary defect that posed challenges for prosthetic obturation and significantly impacted your quality of life.

**Fourth Operation – November 17, 1923:**
You underwent the Steinach operation, which involved the ligation of the vas deferens. The rationale behind this procedure was to stimulate the secretion of testicular hormones, with the hope of rejuvenating the body and positively influencing the cancer.

**Radiotherapy – September 1939:**
As the disease progressed, radiotherapy was advised and administered. This treatment aimed to control the growth of the cancerous cells and provide some relief from the symptoms.

Throughout these years, you have endured a great deal, Dr. Freud. The complications and recurrences have undoubtedly been taxing both physically and emotionally. It is important to note that the understanding and treatment of cancer have evolved significantly over time, and what was considered appropriate at the time of your treatments may not align with current medical practices.

If you have any further questions or need additional clarification, please do not hesitate to reach out. My goal is to provide you with the support and information you need during this challenging time.

With warm regards and in professional solidarity,

I understand that you are currently facing a challenging situation with a burn wound on your right lower foot, compounded by your condition of Type 2 Diabetes. It is crucial to address both your wound care and diabetes management to promote healing and prevent complications.

**Diabetes Medication and Wound Healing:**
Your diabetes medication plays a pivotal role in the healing process of your burn wound. Optimal blood sugar control is essential as high glucose levels can impair your body’s natural healing process and increase the risk of infection. It is important to continue taking your diabetes medication as prescribed by your diabetologist or primary care physician.

If you are experiencing any issues with your current diabetes medication or if your blood sugar levels are not well-controlled, you should seek advice from a diabetes specialist as soon as possible. They may need to adjust your medication or recommend additional treatments to ensure your blood sugar levels are within the target range, which is vital for your wound healing.

**Immediate Steps to Take:**
1. **Continue Your Diabetes Medication:** Do not stop or alter your diabetes medication without consulting your diabetes specialist.
2. **Monitor Your Blood Sugar Levels:** Keep a close eye on your blood sugar levels, as they can fluctuate with the stress of injury and infection.
3. **Seek Specialized Care:** Since you are in a clinic, request an urgent consultation with a diabetologist to review and optimize your diabetes management in the context of your burn wound.
4. **Follow Wound Care Instructions:** Adhere to the wound care instructions provided by your healthcare team, including regular dressing changes and keeping the foot elevated.
5. **Report Changes:** Inform your healthcare provider of any changes in your wound or overall health, especially if you notice increased pain, redness, swelling, or discharge.

**Glossary:**
– **Diabetologist:** A medical specialist who focuses on the treatment of diabetes.
– **Debridement:** The medical removal of dead, damaged, or infected tissue to improve the healing potential of the remaining healthy tissue.
– **Glycemic Control:** The management of blood sugar levels within the desired range.
– **Cellulitis:** A bacterial skin infection that can cause redness, swelling, and pain.

Please remember that managing your diabetes effectively is as important as the local care of your wound. Both aspects are interdependent for a successful recovery. If you have any further questions or concerns, do not hesitate to reach out to your healthcare team or contact me for additional guidance.

Wishing you a swift and complete recovery.
