The St Thomas S Hospital Gazette 1906 Vol 16 Classic Reprint

Excerpt from The St. Thomas's Hospital Gazette, 1906, Vol. 16 First let us consider the regulations as regards medical studies. Having been present at a debate at this Society on medical education held sometime last year, I know that most of you agree that you are overburdened with the earlier science subjects and are left with too little time for the clinical subjects. In fact there is a great struggle to fit in the work to be done in the last two years, with the result that midwifery takes a very back seat. This, I take it, is due to the fact that it is very inadequately represented on the Medical Council, and on the various university faculties and examining boards. For, apparently, it is human nature that every man should think his own subject of paramount importance, and so it happens that just as we of the practice side of medicine think that the chemists and botanists take up more than their share of the student's time, so in turn do we of the obstetric branch think that our colleagues of medicine and surgery do not allow midwifery its proper place in the last two years of study. Whether this is right or wrong, the time given to midwifery is by no means proportionate to its prominent place in the work of general practice. Here I would remind you that these remarks apply strictly to midwifery, and do not include gynaecology that subject gets its full share of the student's attention. The great error is that the regulations allow the student to take the midwifery examination at the end of his fourth year instead at the end of his fifth, and to anyone who knows the medical student, this means that when he can he will always do so. The Conjoint Board, as I hope to prove to you later, is the arch ofi'ender in this respect. What ought the student to have done before he undertakes his midwifery cases Under our present conditions we will take it for granted that he has been to a course of lectures on the subject and has had some instruction, a condition by no means always fulfilled.

A powerful and impassioned historical account of the largest successful revolt by enslaved people in history: the Haitian Revolution of 1791–1803 “One of the seminal texts about the history of slavery and abolition.... Provocative and empowering.” —The New York Times Book Review The Black Jacobins, by Trinidadian historian C. L. R. James, was the first major analysis of the uprising that began in the wake of the storming of the Bastille in France and became the model for liberation movements from Africa to Cuba. It is the story of the French colony of San Domingo, a place where the brutality of plantation owners toward enslaved people was horrifyingly severe. And it is the story of a charismatic and barely literate enslaved person named Toussaint L’Ouverture, who successfully led the Black people of San Domingo against successive invasions by overwhelming French, Spanish, and English forces—and in the process helped form the first independent post-colonial nation in the Caribbean. With a new introduction (2023) by Professor David Scott.
