The Master of Surgery"
The meeting of the Indiana Medi-
cal Society,"" an association composed
of the leading Negro physicians of
the state, was held last week at
indianapolis.
The enthusiasm and interest mani.
tested by all present, contributed to
make it the most Successful annual
gathering in the history of the Or.
ganization.
The climax OF the week came when
through the efforts and influence of
that greatest OF all Negro Surgeons, {,
DR.. Daniel Williams of Chicago, the
white hospitals We're opened and
colored surgeons We're privileged to
demonstrate their ability and com.
potency for the first time.
DR.. Williams is the first colored
surgeon to operate in any white hos.
pital in Indianapolis.
The prominent white surgeons,
students and interhes came to criti
else and mock but were astounded
and completely silbnced when DR..
Williams not only did the work" bet
ter than any surgeon in Indiana could
nave done, but at The same time de-
hvered a lecture on differential
diagnosis OF the case that would have
been credit to tht best surgeons of
the world.
He compelled thd admiration of all
present by the waytin which he came
into hospital that was entirely new
to him, took chargf of the operating
room, nurses, am internes, then
diagnosed and operSted on a case that
he had never seeh until she was
wheeled in ready for the operation.
Some of the colored physicians
who had never Witnessed Dr. viii.
liams' skill and technique, were rather
anxious as to the outcome of this
first demonstration before the large
audience of whites" but the cool,
SER possession ana confidence OF
this peer of all surgeons, /" set them
at their ease and they were lost in
admiration of the man who for six
years was a member of illinois State
Board of HEALTH" for seven years sur
gecn and member of the staff of
Cooke County Hospital, and at the
present time is one of the staff and
surgeons to st. Lukes Hospital, posi-
tions that have never been filled by
a colored physician before.
We regret that the colored hospital
of this city has net taken advantage
of its opportunities and endeavored
to be in closer relation with the man
Of whom DR.. ]. B. Murphy said were
his face white the world would recog-
nize none better than he."
