SIR,-I was intrigued by Dr George Dunea's comments (29 May, p 1622) on the mnemonic for the differential diagnosis of coma. I seem to remember it slightly differently as" AEIOUDDD." Although I am not sure I am correct in my memory of what the vowel sounds stand for, I do remember rather clearly the drastic ending in the three Ds of" drugs, diabetes, and death." For us A stood for apoplexy, not alcoholism; E for epilepsy; I for insulin, a hypoglycaemic coma; 0 I seem to remember as standing for opium as an indicator of drugs in general but this would seem superfluous if my memory of D for drugs is correct, and occlusion would fit very well; U of course stood for uraemia, and Y was not included in the mnemonic we used in Tyne-side in the'30s. Perhaps your readers have other versions of the mnemonic, perhaps even including what must surely be the commonest cause of coma-trauma such as being hit by a motor car?
