DOCTORS S
HYPNOTISM FOR
A OPERATION

The most aweSome of medical
feats-the "open heart" operation
has been performed for the
first time while the patients were
in a hypnotaic trance.
DR.. Milton ]. Mariner. report
ing at the annual meeting of the
American Medical Association,
said one of the patients, a IA
year-old girl, was deaf.
Before the operation. she was
hypnotixed in her hospital room,
getting the medical hypnotist'S
instructions by reading his lips.
During the operation, the doc
tor whispered commands to her
through a hearing aid-and she
heard and obeyed.
Mariner, from the University
of California al Los Angeles,
said the technique opens a new
frontier in heart surgery.
The girl "awoke" on command
while her heart was temporarily
by-passed and while the heart
lung machine held her life in its
pulsing spiral of plastic tubing
and throbbing motors.
The medical hypnotist said he
used hypnotism on a similar OPP
Grafton involving a 14-year-old
boy.
Both children have returned
to school and are getting along
we'll" Mariner added.
The doctor said ne used hyp-
nosis 10 avoid d-epressant effects
Of anesthetic drugs and to at
tempt to eliminate unconscious
ness while the patient was on the
heart-lung machine.
Because the normal blood cir
culation is stopped, ne said. there
is a possibility OF brain damage
during this stage Of the opera
ton.

uhe nation is beSet with difficulties and
confuSions. Many Of us have doubt and
grave concern for the future. But no one
who reviews the past and realizes the vast
strength Of our people can doubt that this,
like score Of similar experiences in our
history, is passing trial. From this knowi-
edge must come the courage and wisdom to
improve and strengthen us for the future.
We must not be misled by the claim that
the source of all wisdom is in the Govern
ment. Wisdom is born out of experience,
and most Of all out Of precisely such expe-
renee as is brought to us by the darkest
moments. II is in the meeting of such
moments that are born new insightS, new
sympathies, new powers, new skills.
ouch conflicts as we are in the midst of
today cannot be won by any single stroke,
by any one strategy sprung from the mind
of any single genius. Rather must we pin
our faith upon the inventiveness, the re-
SourcefulneSS, the initiative of every one of
US. That cannot fail us if we keep faith in
ourselves and our future, and in the con-
slant growth of our intelligence and ability
to cooperate with one another.
The memory of Americans who glory in
Valley Forge tells us the truth which echoes
upward from this soil Of blood and tears:
the way TO greatness is the path Of self
reliance, independence and sfe0dfasness in
time of trial and stress.
