Chicago physician Dr John B Murphy telegraphs to The New York Medical Journal about King Edward’s illness. He questions whether the perityphlitic abscess arose from appendicitis or a perforating ulcer of the cecum and notes prognosis varies with origin and virulence. He cites a 97 percent recovery if appendiceal abscess drained without removing the appendix and warns perforating ulcers, especially malignant or tubercular, carry grave risk. He points to symptoms on the fifth or sixth day before operation as evidence for appendiceal origin and notes doctors withheld condition from the public.
