A Manual Of Minor Surgery And Bandaging Classic Reprint

Excerpt from A Manual of Minor Surgery and Bandaging The Office of house-surgeon to a public hospital is one of the most responsible posts a young surgeon can occupy, and, at the same time, its value in giving him both experience and confidence can be scarcely too highly estimated.

Excerpt from A Manual of Minor Surgery and Bandaging for the Use of House-Surgeons, Dressers, and Junior Practitioners The relation of the house-surgeon to the visiting surgeon varies also in different institutions, and with different individuals. Some visiting-surgeons wish to do everything themselves, and are very wroth if a house surgeon has opened an abscess or tightened a bandage; while others allow their subordinates considerable liberty, provided the patients suffer no harm. Here, again, tradi tion and observation during student-life will enable the house-surgeon to keep clear of all collision with his superior officers and he is certainly bound to respect the reasonable prejudices of each surgeon with regard to the details of his practice, and not to attempt to bring the practices of two or three individual surgeons to one uniform level, by which all possibility of comparison would be lost.
