"A surgeon by profession, Brodie was often called upon to treat neurotic or hysterical patients who complained of somatic ailments, such facial neuralgia, joint pains or paralysis, in the absence of any organic disease. In the 'Lectures', Brodie adopted the original approach of discussing types of symptoms rather than particular diseases, distinguishing the manifestations of organic afflictions from those of hysterical origin, and giving the first systematic account of the diagnosis and treatment of pain and paralysis in the absence of local organic disease. He also gave the first description of 'oed?me bleu', the swelling and cyanosis of extremities during hysterical paralysis."?Hook & Norman.
