The diary entry for 18th October gives details of Pepys' self-treatment for his swollen groin. To model this I have created a new type of event, "medication-event" which should typically have role players "patient", "applied-by" (not necessarily a doctor, as in this case) and "medication". I have created a subclass of medication "poultice" to cover this particular treatment, and then made an instance of this class ("bran and vinegar poultice"). The entry for the diary event is:
[event-16611018-06 : medication-event = "Samuel applies a poultice to his tumor (18th October 1661)";"16611018-06"] occurs(event-16611018-06 : event, today : on) participation(event-16611018-06 : event, samuel-pepys : patient, samuel-pepys : applied-by, bran-poultice : medication) [bran-poultice : poultice = "A poultice of bran and vinegar"] {bran-poultice, description, [[...a poultice of a good handful of bran with half a pint of vinegar and a pint of water boiled till it be thick, and then a spoonful of honey put to it and so spread in a cloth and laid to it]] } / samuel-pepys
Note: the definitions for the medication-event topic type and the patient and applied-by role types are contained in the pepys-diary-ontology.ltm file. The definitions for the medication topic type and the poultice topic type are in the pepys-diary-culture.ltm file.
