DOCTORS WITH RECORDS w SOME ASTONI.IIING FI: 1714 PI$. FUIWEI) B1' TIII:Y, Instances Where Surgeons Have Oper. ated In Remarkably Qukk Time. Four amputations in twenty -live min- utes must be something very like an absolute record in surgery. I'he credit if this feat lies with two doctors on the staff of tate (lull Royal Infirmary. A roan was brought in shockingly mang- led as the result of an accident in the Albert Docks, London, and downs found necessary to take of( sihuitlaneously both legs and both fore -arms. Il was barely half an hour from the time -Vial' he was brought in Wore it was all finished and he was hi -bed. Wonderful to tell, his pulse was stronger at the end than at the commencement of the operation. An even more astonishing feat was performed a fee months ago by the head of ono the great London hospitals. The incident e a< whited to the contributor by one of the attendant surgeons. A girl was brought in with one leg so ter- ribly ufferti•d by tuberculosis that it had to be taken off. But when the child was examined her heart was found to to so weak that the assistant declared that (Ivo minutes would bo the utmost iength of filo that she could be safely kept under an anesthetic. The great surgeon's lips tightened; "1 will do it," he said. And within four minutes from the moment that the first incision was made all was SUCCESSFULLY FINISIIED. About three years ago.a case of small- pox was discovered in the King's Coun- ty (New York) Ilospilal for the Insane. In the doctor's opinion the only thing to do was to at once vaccinate every patient in the place. There were 2,500 lunatics and a resident medical staff ef only five physicians. They set to work at once, and, keeping at it practically day and night, with only short pauses for food, succeeded in completing their formidable task in just under forty- eight hours. But the hero of the most treniendous feat of long -continued medical toil is an Englishman, Dr. Collingridge, medical officer of health for the City of London. Dr. Collingridge is only about fifty years old, but his appearance is that of a much older man. His looks are due to the terrific strain which lie incurred in 1892. In that year he was medical of- ficer of the Port of I.Qndnn, when chol- era broke out in several European ports, notably in Hamburg. Dr. Collingridge, knowing that in such a case prevention was better than cure, went straight to Gravesend, and for three weeks - boarded every vessel com- ing from the infected ports, and person- ally inspected every man, woman, nal child on board. For twenty-one days, consecutively lie obtained an ave:aga of one hour's sleep in tweets -four. Hd saved England from TIIE TERRIBLE EPIDEMIC, but was himself ill for years afterwards. There has recently (lied in -Darn a surgeon -dentist, a monk who practised free of charge, and of whore it may bo said without fear of contradiction (het he certainly pulled more teeth than any man alive, and probably more than any who over lived. Ile kept caret it record of all the operations which he performed. and at his death was able to boast that he had drawn 2,000,611 teeth. Ile used no instrunents except his thumb and forefinger, and yet pers. formed his work rapidly, and perhaps with less pain to his patients, as even the most skilled wielder of the forceps. There are several cases on record of surgical operations being performed in trains, but there is only one account of an operation of a difficult and risky na- ture being done In a motor -car whir!• ing along at lop speed. The hero (1 this episode is Dr. Sinsseer, a New York surgeon. Ile was called in to bee a roan who was suffering from e pnin 111 the throat, and a glance showed Trim that the case was most serious. Ills motor was at the door. Ile burred the roan info it, and told the driver to go at hill speed to the hospital. Half- way the patient began to choke. The doctor whipped out his case of instru- ments, and then and there performed the operation known as tracheolome in. senting a silver tube In the ttsciiit so that the poor man could breathe. The operation was successful, but long ness had so weakened the patient's heart that he died shortly afterwards from heart failure. Speaking M operations, Dr. Fyffe, house -surgeon of the hospital at Bidde- ford. a small town in Maine, recently removed n malignant growth under ab- solutely UNIQUE CIRCUMSTANCES.
