SURGICAL LAWSUIT DECIDED.
The Right 10 Discretion in Emergencies
Affirmed

There is a popular notion that sur
gcons will always operate when they get
a chance. but when 1t may not be ncceS-
AIRY This notion has less basis to-day
than IT had once. although anrsthcticS
and antiseptic methods make surgery far
safer now than fifty years ago. And
the idea never had much excuse There
have been in the past. and are to-day,
exceptions to the rule. but the majority
of surgeons are reluctant to operate un-
al it Is absolutely necessary. Indeed
they sometimes refuse when patients ask
them to do SO.
\ lawsuit was recently decided in Chi
cago which was probably based on the
old belief here referred to. \ sur
gcon. after beginning an operation such
as had been agreed upon. proceeded to
do something else which had not been
originally proposed. but which he be-
Icycd 20 be necessary i'm view OF newly
discovered facts. The patient entirely
recovered. and wa, i'm excellent health
at the time the suit was brought. four
years later. The court held that the
surgeon had kept within his rights in
acting as he had done.
1t is important to keep in mind two
sets OF conditions under which the extra
operation might be conducted. It might
he something which the surgeon merely
regarded as a good but not a necessary
thing. Here it would not be cxcusablc
to proceed. if there had been no PIE
viaus understanding. But unforeseen
complications may arise. Perhaps a
cancer is To be removed and on open
ing the body the operator finds that it
extends further than was suspected.
Wha, shall he do: Take ont only a
part and leave the rest in? Shall he
pause i'm the middle of the operation. re-
store the patient TO full consciousness
(Which might require an hour or two)
and then lay the case before him for de
cision: Or, Suppose an artery begins to
bleed. AIusi the surgeon wait until
next day to get permission to tie it up ?
The Medical Record remarks that 1t
is wise policy, whenever there is any
reasonable probability OF unexpected
complications. to obtain the patients
prior consent to deal with any other
conditions that may be found cs cntially
connected with The proposed operation. -
But even without such an understand
ing surprises will sometimes occur. and
the surgeon ought TO have freedom to
be governed by circumstances.

the northeast was sending the

At last their vigil was rewarded.
Out of the darkness there suddenly
loomed the figure OF a ship. On it

minutes before Andrew recognized the

And lend men inspiration to triumph In

OF course We are full OF mischief. 'tis a

And even make hard sinners renAm-
