Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Tropical Surgery and Diseases of the Far East: Including Answers to a Questionnaire The winning of the world war demands the assembling of all knowledge which may be of possible use. Surgical as well as medical diseases of the Tropics are already encountered in all armies, not only during their tropical service, but in that in Europe and America as well. The author having noted this fact during overseas service in 1916-1917 has put together material which he has been collecting for years and has added abstracts of recent literature in the hope that such a compilation may be of some value during and after the war. Opportunities for observation were found in a practically continuous life of fourteen years in the Tropics; in our South, Cuba, the Philippines, and in frequent visits to China and Japan. Four years of this time were served as a volunteer surgeon in the United States Army, as chief operating surgeon to an army corps in the field in Cuba, in Luzon with troops in the field, and in base hospitals in Manila as operating surgeon. Ten years were spent in private and public practice in Manila during which many medical institutions were organized. The clinical data in Part I are mostly from the last five thousand carefully recorded surgical cases among Filipinos. The material of Part II was derived from travel and personal contact with many of the medical men in China, Japan, Indo China, and the Straits Settlements, as well as from answers to a questionnaire sent to over two thousand medical men in the Tropics.
