Another chapter in the Bayonne Hospital row

hospital. DR.. Corwin. in q long statement, re-
plies to statements made by DIR. Alexander Dial.

As stated in TIE Sun yesterday morning,
the trouble arose over an operation performed
by DR.. Dallas at the hospital on June 81. Tho
rules specify that no consulting surgeon may
perform a major operation in the hospital with.
out nrst notifying the regular surgical staff.
DR.. Dallas says no complied with the hospital
rules by first causing all the MEMBERS of the
regular surgical staff to be notified by tele-
phone, and then waiting an hour for them in
vain before beginning the operation, which he
Or. Corwin, in contradicting DIR. Dallas, says :
The hospital register shows that the patient.

present at the same time stated that when DR..
Dallas was asked II he wanted the staff notified,
he replied No, only want Corwin.' The tele-
phone message that an injured man was at the
hospital, and that my. presence was required

DR.. Dallas had washed his hands, and was in the
act OF putting on his coat or cuffs. The patient
had been removed from the operating room TO a
bed in the ward. by his orders, all within An
hour, and yet he states, over his signatures:
After waiting an hour for the remainder of the
staff, and fearing the evil result OF long delay,
as the patient was suffering from shock and loss
of blood, | removed the injured limb
The uncontroverted facts that tho patient
reached the hospital, was put under ether, his
foot amputated, the operation completed. the
dressin 8 applied. and the patient removed to a
bed, all within an hour, would make it seem as
il more haste was used than the nature of the
case demanded"
DIR. Corwin's statement, which in it's entirety
would take up about two columns OF THE SCS,
was submitted TO the Medical Board. The
board adopted resolutions ln3orsing the admin

wondering what had caused the destruction he
saw a dark object crouchinR in a corner. He
thought IL was q cat, and threw an axe at it
The animal ran out of the place and the hsh
dealer saw that IL was a raccoon.

thought that thieves were around. He got a
rooster in a scuffie with one of the coons. Eek.
