The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1953-10-15, Page 8Page 8 Surgery Not Necessary In Many Cases: Doctor Many surgical operations are not necessary, Dr. Evan V. Shute M.B-, F-R.C.S. of London told a large gathering of Exeter district women in th© town op October 8. Dr. Shute maintained many unnecessary operations are performed. Those which appear to be most successful are the and hall that Dresses On Sale This Week and Next All New This Season From $3.95 to $12.95 One Rack Only 1 Just Arrived New Shipment of Dresses Fancy Taffetas ! $5.95 McCreerys LADIES’ WEAR Phone 169-J ones undergone by those, who actually did net require surgery. Some surgeons suggest opera tions merely to keep up their reputations for performing a cer tain number of them a day, lest the rumour get abroad that they are "slipping." Of a group of 20 waiting to consult a surgeon in his office, a percentage of them will be told surgery is necessary. Pain Not Criterion “Pain alone does not justify surgery,” Dr. Shute maintained, "in fact a surgeon’s axiom should be ‘never operate for pain’.’’ The surgery of women ’is a specialized field a nd wo m e n should seek the advice of a cer tified gynecologist before sub mitting to an operation. Women are quite apt when shopping, to insist on labelled merchandise, but often place their lives in hands of a surgeon who has the label “R.C.S.” after name. "The responsibility for costliness of surgery rests large ly on the public who subscribe to the theory that the success of an operation is measured by surgeon’s fee,” Dr. Shute Glared. Promote Skepticism His purpose in addressing men’s groups on the subject of gynecology is to dispel gossip and misinformation and to make women skeptical about surgery. Dr. Shute was introduced by Mrs. William Johns and Mrs, Jackson Woods, president of Elimville Institute, expressed the appreciation of those present for the Doctor’s enlightening mes sage. The meeting was sponsored by Elimville and Hurondale Insti tutes. n Fancies THE TIMES-ADVOCATE, EXETER, ONTARIO, THURSDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 15, 1953 take not that A Page Devoted to the Interests of the Women Readers of The Times-Advocate DONATES BLOOD TO SAVE A LIFE — Mrs. Ruth Dalian of Montreal watches as blood is extracted from her arm to be sent to Mrs. Delores Baker in Detroit.
