Operations Feared
The idea of establishing tissue

of years ago primarily because OF
lay accusations Of unnecessary
surgery such as hysterectomies
and appendectomies. Many per-

than did others.

much less to take care of ex-
Ipansions in local ministerial
work. the administrative field
and overseas operations.
He pinpointed the problem by
saying that at present it takes
some 80 churches to recruit one
seminary student a year."
DR.. Million based this assertion
on the fact that while America
has Protestant church men,
bership of about 81 million
spread over 100000 congrega-
tons, there are only about TO-
900 students enrolled in the
Protestant seminaries.

The Rev. Richard G. Belcher,

Test All Removed Tissue
Each piece of tissue removed
in an operation is tested by q
|pathologist. His report is made
TO the tissue committee. II the
removed tissue is healthy, a re-
view of the case is made. When
Ia surgeon removes healthy tissue
too often. he may be called in tc

OF course, medicine is not an
exact science. If it were there
would be no need for tissue
committees.
Honest mistakes are made
Often symptoms arise indicating
a certain organ is malfunction-
ing. whereas In actuality the
symptoms are caused by another
factor.
Also. similar symptoms may
have entirely different causes.
1t is true, too. that no one
physician or surgeon knows
everything about medicine.
Exact records on surgical pa.
tients are kept for the benefit
of the tissue committee. Each
case is numbered and otherwise
unidentified as the COMMITTEES
