Diseases Of Women And Abdominal Surgery

Excerpt from Diseases of Women and Abdominal Surgery, Vol. 1 In the preface to my first work of this kind, which appeared in 1877, I urged a "plea that any new effort to extend our acquaintance with the Special Diseases of Women deserves at least to be received with patience." This plea was, to a very large extent, disregarded, and the method in which my little effort was received was speedily manifested in two wholly different and, I am bound to state, wholly unexpected directions. The first direction to be indicated is, of course, the most extended, and that consisted of ridicule, abuse, and misrepresentation. The second direction was to me, however, far more important, and I soon ceased to trouble about the other. A small band of younger and more earnest men came to see and judge for themselves, and were speedily converted to the belief that a new field of work had appeared: and many who had started with a sneer at the "Birmingham School of Gynaecology" remained to speak of it with respect, to adopt its methods, and become its earnest and progressive disciples. It is curious, as a mere little bit of history, to read the reviews of my work of 1877, and to read as a contrast the impression it has created in ten years as indicated in the pages of such a masterly work as Greig Smith's book on Abdominal Surgery, 1887.

Excerpt from Nursing in Abdominal Surgery and Diseases of Women: Fullerton Many books have been written within recent years on the subject of abdominal and gynaecological surgery, for the instruction and guidance of the medical student and practitioner, yet none but the most meager details - found chiefly in books on general nursing - have been supplied for the aid of the nurse. The stringent requirements of aseptic and antiseptic surgery demand that nurses and assistants shall cooperate with the surgeon in enabling him to attain the results desired in operative work. Hence a thorough knowledge of the methods by which the best results arc to be obtained is essential. At the request of my pupils - and with the hope of meeting this need in other institutions - I have prepared these lectures for publication. The methods recommended are those which have proved useful and successful in the surgical work of the wards of our Hospital.
