Surgical Hospital, Upper Baggot Street, Dublin.-We have received intelligence of the establishment of a new hospital for the reception of surgical patients chiefly in Upper Baggot Street, Dublin. Some provision of this kind had been rendered requisite by the great increase of population which has, within a few years, taken place in the southern extremity of the city, and the neighbouring suburbs, in order to accommodate the sick poor; and, with this view, it was conceived that an hospital capable of accommodating fifty patients, would be adequate to the purpose intended. The first efforts were made chiefly by the medical officers of the institution, who contributed at once a sum exceeding L. 1400, and who undertook to contribute annually a considerable sum, to be derived from pupils attending their instructions. The hospital was accordingly opened in December 1832; and between that date and the 17th April, when the first report was laid before the managing committee, 187 patients, whose ailments, including many dangerous accidents, did not admit of being treated at their own houses, were admitted into its wards, and have enjoyed the benefits of the institution, and several hundreds of out-patients have received advice and medicines from a Dispensary-establishment attached to the hospital. This institution, though denominated a Surgical Hospital, appears nevertheless not to be confined to surgical cases, for all diseases not infectious are admissible. The conditions of admission are the following. Subscri bers of one guinea have the privilege of recommending any number of patients to the Dispensary. Subscribers of two guineas have the privilege of not only recommending them to the Dispensary, but of sending a patient to hospital; and subscribers of five guineas may recommend patients, whose complaints come within the objects of the charity, to the use of a bed for the whole year. Severe accidents are received at all times without recommen dation. The Archdeacon of Dublin is chairman of the managing committee. The medical officers of the institution, are Dr Colles and Dr Wilmot, consulting surgeons, Dr T. E. Beatty consulting accoucheur, and Drs Jacob, Harrison, Apjohn, Benson, and Houston, ordinary medical attendants. We have received from Mr John Green Crosse of Norwich, a letter containing the correction of a statement alleged to be erroneous in last number, and which places the town of Norwich among those not provided with Medical Lectures. The correction is contained in the following words. "For three winters, anatomical dissections have actually been made by a majority of students in the town, and lectures and demonstrations on anatomy have been given. Evening courses of lectures on surgery and the practice of medicine, were also for two winters given here, and opportunities, which I need not specify, are continually occurring to our students, of gaining the most essential and useful information." Mr John Green Crosse, in giving this correction, is the deputed organ of the Norwich and Norfolk United Medical Book Society. The statement is altogether vague and void of precision; and it ought to have proceeded either from the secretary of the medical school of Norwich, if such there be, or from the Teachers themselves, or some similar official person, aud it ought to have specified the duration of the courses, and the number of lectures or demonstrations delivered every week. We have great pleasure, nevertheless, in giving Mr John Green Crosse, or the members of the Norwich and Norfolk United Medical Book Society, an opportunity of rectifying the mis-statement. On the tone of the letter of Mr John Green Crosse, and on that of the resolution authorizing him to write it, it is unnecessary to make any remark. Note. At page 244 it was stated, that the patient from whom Mr Syme removed the symphysis of the lower jaw, died in consequence of the inflammation spreading to the throat. By referring to the report of the case in p. 328, it will be found that two pounds of serous fluid were found in the cavity of each pleura, and that the bronchial tubes were loaded with frothy mucus. |
