Popis: Physicians have always looked upon the gut with dark suspicion. The colon, that enormous reservoir of potentially pathogenic bacteria, was especially suspect. Purging, sometimes violently, often combined with bleeding was a common remedy of our medical forebears. Wiggers in his classic on shock in 1950 mentions that bacteria might possibly make their way out of the colon as a result of ischemic damage to tissues.
