Brown and rgainst E C. Webster, | have | day, ip the City of Butler, County of Bates | OPERATED ON OWN BODIES Cases of Four Heroic Surgeons Who | Established Records for Acts | of “Autotomy.” The recent report from San Fran- cisco that a surgeon there had at- tempted to operate upon himself for appendicitis recalls to Dr. Paul Reclus four instances where surgeons j actually did succeed in performing operations upon themselves. He re counts them in the Lancet, and the following appears in the Medical Ree- ord: “Paul Reclus has commented on | the courage and stoicism. necessary for the act of what he calls “au- | totomy,’ or surgical operation upon | one’s own body. He has described at some length four examples of this heroic procedure. The first story is that of a French surgeon who, having asquired a small outgrowing tubercu- toma of the right index finger follow- {ng an operation wound, determined | to excise it under cocaine anesthesia. This he did, surrounded by his class, In a curiously unsurgical way, by fix- ing the instrument—first a scalpel, then a sharp spoon—in the left hand and performing all the necessary Movements with the diseased right hand. In spite of this novel tech- nique, the result was quite satisfac- tory. His only discomfort was a little oausea at the unpleasant sensation of scraping his own periosteum; this was, however, corrected by a sip of hot coffee. “In the second case the surgeon op | erated on himself for bilateral ingrow- | Ing toe-nail, apparently without pain {and with absolutely satisfactory re | sult. The hero of the third story was a Turkish military surgeon attached to Professor Reclus’ own clinic, who was operated on for double inguinal hernia under local anesthesia with such complete success that he deter mined to remove for himself a trouble- some affection. The procedure was painless and the result perfect. “The fourth ‘autotomy’ was per- | formed by M. Regnault, a naval med- ical officer, who was led to undertake | a radical cure of his own hernia. He anesthetized the area of operation by | injecting cocaine into the several lay- | ers of tissue concerned, after a pre- | liminary injection of morphine into the subcutaneous tissues of the thorax. | He guarded himself from disaster by enlisting the help of two colleagues, who stood by prepared for action in | case they wer neetled. However, all | went well, and there was neither pain ; Bor mishap.” Truth and Error, | Verily, there is nothing so true that | the damps of error have not warped | it. Verily, there is nothing so false | that a sparkle of truth is not 1n it. | For the enemy, the father of lies, the giant Upas of creation, can but per vert the good, but may not create the evil. He destroyeth, but cannot build; for he is not an antagonistic deity. Mighty in his stolen power, yet is he @ creature and a subject; not a maker of abstract wrong, but a spoiler of concrete right. The fiend hath not a royal crown; he is but a prowling robber, suffered for some mysterious end to haunt the king’s highway. And the keen sWord he beareth once was @ simple plowshare. His panop!y of error is but a distortion of the truth.
