In an old movie, “The trouble with Harry”
(Paramount Pictures, 1955), a little masterpiece of black comedy directed by a
great Alfred Hitchcock at his best, the inhabitants of a small village in
Vermont have to manage the dead body of a man, named Harry, found on a
hillside.
Three of the main characters in the movie each
believe that he or she is the person who killed Harry incidentally and everybody tries to hide
Harry’s corpse,
who becomes literally a “walking dead”, hauled and hidden, far away from the
local policeman attention, for all the movie along. So, all the main characters
have to bury the body and then dig it up again several times for different
reasons, until the village’s doctor establishes at last, that Harry died of
natural causes.
Actually, drug allergy and drug
hypersensitivity are treated by most of the doctors as Harry’s dead body: they
try to hide or to minimize the onset of an allergic reaction to a drug they
have prescribed or administered.
