Steph, This is a pretty well-known video and I think Alice posted it a few months ago.

What I found disturbing, other than having her mop a floor, was the combination of Atropine with Prostigmin. They do the opposite things in MG and Atropine is used for a cholinergic crisis, when too much Mestinon has been taken.

One thing they did do way back then is to take diseases more seriously. They were interested in the pathophysiology of diseases and did a LOT more investigating on symptoms, etc. than they do now.

I think it's pretty sad that we have to dig up a video from 1935 when it's 2013. No offense but where are the "professional" videos now of MG patients? Oh, that's right, doctors don't "document" things like the Tensilon test.

Thank you for sharing it. It does show how dramatic a response to the MG meds can be.
