Men in the Navy Have No Right TO Refuse
n the Operation Is Not serious.

the Operation Is Not serious.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 13-Has an enlisted man
in the navy or the Marine Corps the right to
refuse to submit to a surgical operation
The Navy Department. by Acting Secretary
Darling. holds that he has not If the opera
ton is not serious. but declines To lay down
any rule for cases involving the loss of a
limb or in which a mans life would be en-
dangered. He recommends the exercise
of persuasion and diplomacy on the patient
in serious cases. but in minor cases lie de-
cidee that the man who refuses to be opera
ted on may be court-martialed and punished
Incidentally the Department has overruled
Rear Admiral Louis Kempf, Junior Squad
ron Commander on the Aeiatic station, who
refused to let surgeons operate on an I'M
willing patient.
The Departments decision extends only
10 enlisted men. No ruling mas been made
in the case of an officer. although "a prece-
dent was established by Rear Admiral
Robley ID. Evans, who drew a revolver on
the surgeons who came to cut Of his legs
after he had been severely wounded in the
battle OF Fort Fisher. Admiral Evans
kept his legs and remained in the naval
service, although quite lame.
The case just decided by Acting Secretary
Darling was that OF a marine private of
the name of Walker, serving on the Monitor
Monadnock in Chinese waters. Surgeon
o. ID. Norton Of that ship wanted to remove
= foreign growth which untitled Walker
for duty, but the marine refused. Walker
was reported to Admiral Kempff, who sus-
tanned his stand. Then an appeal was
taken by the Navy Depa rtment. The
Bureau OF Medicine and Surgery eagerly er-
pressed the opinion that most cases Of this
character could be adjusted by using tact
and persuasion in attempting 20 induce the
patient to SUI Admit 10 an operation, but held
That where a minor operation was required
the patient should be required TO submit
or be punished and Acting Secretary Darling
upholds their views.
