LOOKS ON AS SURGEONS
CUT OFF HIS LEFT LEG
Young Doctor Refuses to Miss
Practical Lesson in Operation
on Himself.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, February 3
Cheerfully bearing pain in a manner To
astound the medical profession. pr
James w. Keith. a young physician,
graduate of. the Jefferson Hospital. lies
in the hospital helpless invalid. yet
hopeful of recovery
DR.. Keith. while frolicking with sew
eral fraternity brothers April II, 1914
plunged through skylight. fell three
floors, and had his back broken. Sew
eral days ago he smiled as physicians
told him they found it necessary to am
putate his left leg, which had become
affected with blood poisoning as the
result of a bed ulcer. While surgeons
cut away the flesh and then the bone OF
his leg, DIR. Keith calmly watched
them, helping where possible with sug-
Eestions, and handing needed instru-
meuts 10 them.
Partial paralysis from the waist dow II
deadened the feeling. Pain attending
the wing of the bone, however, was
intense, but this Dr. Keith chose to
withstand rather than submit to al
anesthetic. and thus miss the prac-
teal lesson in surgery offered in the
amputation of his own leg.
