any 19th century coroners on here tonight?

[dot.hawkes]

If so could you please help me decipher the terminology used in this coroners report / cause of death?

It was in 1911, in London, a 56 year old carman :

" Demise following acute ********* and ******** pneumonia consequence of an operation ******** on the head ***** possible accelerated by action of deceased himself in attending said operation would Though was in no way connected with fractured leg."

I think the missing words are medical terms, any one's best guess welcome!!

cheers

Dotty

only two unforced errors tonight,
1) It was of course a 20th century coroner
2) i meant wound not would.

I am getting better lol

may give some early terminology

Could be acute bronchitis and pulmonary pneumonia ... Operation performed on the head wound
..because it goes on to say "said operation wound "

[dot.hawkes]

thanks for those
It is bronchia after acute i think, not bronchial though, the word before pneumonia looks like it has 2 letter p's in it, lt reads like dyspepius i think

cheers, oh and yes it is wound after head, i am slowly working it out!!

List here Dot of words that could come before pneumonia

I can't see how many letters there are( those 'lil stars are toooo tiny for me to count ) but you can type in your number of letters and it may come up with something
