DR.. Hawkes. Rejoinder

Under date OF January DR.. Hawkes. sent
the following response:
&c. Brown Miller, NJ. D. FL.
Dear Doctor: Yours of the I'd instant
Is at hand. First-as to the authority of
the attending staff for its action in remov-
ing me from the position of secretary-your
connection with the hospital has been so
brief that you may not know that there is
no article of the bylaws that pertains to
the election Of the officers of the attending
staff and question whether you know of
the traditions and cuStOmS-the unwritten
law-of the attending staff 1 beg to in
form you and your associates that the staff
has for years been organized annually by
eIecting its officers for the ensuing year.
The only circumstances that can cause a
change of officers, are removal from the
attending staff by the board resignation,
removal from the city and death. l have
not been removed from the attending staff;
have not resigned; / have not remov ed
from the city, and l have Especially re-
cently) been very much alive.
Second. AS to the alleged cause of the
removal, / am not hostile to the attending
staff & whole Inasmuch as the staff hal
chosen to indOTse the very questionable pol
icy of the ruling faction OF the board (thc
policy of covering up irregularities in the
hospital, ] am antagonistic to the staff;
and my antagonism will continue until the
hospital is purged. ! asked for the cause
of my removal, and you give me an excuse.
l 10 not accept the excuse.
The petty action of yourself and your
associates belongs in the same class with
the shunting of DIR. II. J.. e. Johnson from
the attending staff to the consulting staff
last spring, which was done to prevent him
from being executive officer and from pos
sibly uncoverng more irregularities in the
hospital.
You are wrong in saying that was ap-
pointed an officer of the attending staff.
On the contrary, at the organization meet
ing last spring / was elected its secretary
for the ensuing year. But you are doubt
less right in saying that the staff appointed
you an officer-secretary pro tem.-to act in
my absence. Yours truly.
