Michael S. Gurney purports that Dickens was well-read in medical literature and even ahead of his time in recognizing peculiar symptoms – the character Phil in Bleak House presents with an affliction that many doctors today would diagnose as Ménière’s disease but that would not be named for several years after Dickens’s description (80-81).	cache/concept-789.pdf	txt/concept-789.txt
