Synopsis

In Colonel Beauregard's Paralysis, Dr. Kildare is introduced to Colonel Beauregard, a proud veteran who arrives at Blair General Hospital from Richmond, paralyzed from the waist down and experiencing additional paralysis in his left arm. The Colonel's insistence on receiving a specific arthritis treatment clashes with the doctors' inability to find any evidence of arthritis. This sets the stage for a medical mystery that intertwines physical ailments with psychological factors.
