Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from South America From a Surgeon´s Point of View The notes which appear on the following pages were gathered during two visits to the southern continent in behalf of the American College of Surgeons, the first in company with Dr. William J. Mayo of Rochester, Minnesota (then President of the College), and the second with Dr. Thomas J. Watkins of Chicago (a Governor of the College). The first voyage was begun on January 7, 1920. We sailed from New York on the SS. Ebro, an 8,000-ton steel ship flying the British flag, and our itinerary included Jamaica, Panama, Peru, Chile, Argentina, and Uruguay. On January 29, 1921, we again sailed from New York on the SS. Ebro. On this occasion we included in our itinerary all of the countries visited the previous year, with the addition of Brazil. Dr. Francis P. Corrigan, a Fellow of the College, had preceded us on our second visit for the purpose of surveying medical conditions in Ecuador and Bolivia, and his interesting report is included in this monograph. This little volume, therefore, which is in the nature of a report to the Fellows of the American College of Surgeons, is actually a collaboration, my own notes being supplemented by excerpts from articles by Dr. William J.Mayo and Dr. Thomas J. Watkins, and Dr. Francis P. Corrigan´s report. From the standpoint of the surgeon, the trip had interest in the medical schools, the hospitals, and the operating surgeons of the seven countries of this southern continent that we were privileged to visit. The short time at our disposal and the difficulties of transportation made it impossible for us to include Colombia, Venezuela, and Paraguay. However, visits to these countries will be undertaken as soon as proper arrangements can be made. Although the voyages were made in a purely professional capacity in behalf of the American College of Surgeons, one cannot properly describe them without relating some of the unusual personal experiences we enjoyed which will appeal to both the professional and the non-professional traveler.
