Women under 25 years of age with less than three children might soon have to apply for re- view to a sterilization committee if ttley wish their doctors to per- form a tubal ligation at the Wing - ham and District Hospital. Dr. J. C. McKim told the board at a reg- ular meeting Wednesday that this possibility was under considera- tion by the Medical e. Advisory Committee due to an upswing in cases of young married women requesting a reversal several years after having first requested the operation. He said that more and more young women who had requested tubal ligatiori,when they were 20 or 21 years old were now asking to have their tubes opened again. He said a sterilization committee would provide "protection for the doctor, but especially for the pa- tient." I)r. B. A. Hanlon explained that the procedure and its reversal was "not as easy as tying and un- tying your shoelaces." He said that the sterilization committee could be beneficial: "It's mostly good medicine." The Medical Advisory Com- mittee also proposed that the hos- pital board consider the pos- sibility of retaining nurses' rec- ords on microfilm. Dr. Hanlon said this proposal might even be- come mandatory in the future for insurance purposes with the new changes in malpractice suit' le- galities` Under the new legisla- tion, a malpractice suit may be brought against a doctor or a hos- pital within one year after a pa- tient becomes aware of the pos- sibility of malpractice in his or her case. Nurses' records may then become invaluable in prov- ing or disproving the truth of the claims. Dr. McKim said the Medical Advisory Committee would fur- ther review the situation and re- port to the board at a later date. Bluevale district is Mrs. C. Mathers, Mrs. J.
