THE HOSPITAL DIFFICULTY.

UTQITIRY IKTt* CEASGES A«AiNST BIEWICAIi STAFF.

A SPECIAL meeting of the Hospital Board was held yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock, to consider the report of the House Com-

mittee upon the letter of the Hospital Vis iting StaiT. Present : Messrs Mays, Goldie Isaacs, Suiter, Wilson, Kidd, and Udy (who arrived late). Dr. Macgregor (Inspector of Hospitals and Asylums), and Drs. Haines MacMullen, and La wry were present by in vitation. Mr Maj rs was voted to the chair in Mr WaddeTs absence. The House Committee's report was then read, and proved to he merely a recommen dation that as the charges made against the Visiting Staff were alleged by its members to be entirely iintriinea!idmi.sleading, it was desirable to hold an inquiry to afford op portunity for disproving those charges. Mr Kidd moved the adoption of the re-

port. Air Isaacs seconded the motion. Mr Wilson professed his inability to com prehend the report, and therefore contended that there was nothing before the Board. If Dr. Girdler's reckless statements had been allowed to go forth to the world un challenged by the medical faculty, then the Board had no right to take-up the cudgels on behalf of the Medical Stall'.simplybecause a mem bee of the Board had attacked them. Dr. Girdlei" had indulged in vituperation, and had sought to cover the Board with odium. Mr Goldie pointed out that Dr. Girdler had made his statements publicly, and had publicly challenged refutation. He was the person who had made charges against the Medical Staff, and he was prepared to substantiate them.

The Chairman moved the addition to the report of the words, " and your Com mittee recommend that a special meeting of the Board be called for that purpose." This addition was • approved, and the motion was then put and carried.

Mr Wilson moved that the Board should go into committee, but the proposition lapsed for want of a seconder.

J)r. Hainos, in response to the Chairman's invitation to speak, said that when the charges against the Visiting Staff were first published) the members of the staff natur ally felt considerable irritation. Their professional capacity had been impeached, and they felt it to be due to themselves to demand an inquiry into the accusations made against them. The charges were that they had been guilty of gross neglect, incompetence, and that even deaths had occurred in consequence. They were quite prepared to believe that these false charges had not been made with any wilful intent to do them in jury. They were prepared to show that any faults that had occurred in the management of the Hospital were the necessary results of the present unsatisfactory system. One of the state ments alleged to have been made against the staff was that they desired a young Hospital surgeon to be appointed in order that their own blunders might not be found out.

The Chairman did not remember any such statement having been made, and several other members backed up this dis claimer.

Dr. Haines went on to say that one of the instances of alleged neglect mentioned was that of a man suffering from strangulated hernia, who had to wait all day for an operation to be performed, and who died subsequently. He supposed the case was that of an old man 60 years of ao-e, named Samuel Oldlield.

Mr Goldie, in correction, said that the case he had alluded to was that of a man named Bruce, the captain of a vessel called the Lancashire Lass, who injured himself discharging the cargo on the day of tho regatta. He was taken to the Hospital early in the morning of the Regatta Day. The House Surgeon had been allowed to go away for the day, on a promise being made by the Medical Staff that they would treat the cases during the day. This man was kept there all day, and the surgeon operated in the evening by gaslight. Dr. Haines replied that on the occasion referred to Dr. Bond had received permis sion from tiie Board to absent himself from the Hospital for the day (Regatta Day). It was Dr. Richardson's day of visitation, but he did not attend at the proper time. In the meantime he (the speaker) was sent for, and proceeded to take steps to deal with the case. Just when his preparations were about completed Dr. Richardson arrived, took up the case, and performed the operation. He did not think the man could have lived under any circumstances. The next case was that of a man described as "sweltering in blood." with no one to attend him. This young man, on the morn ing of July 26, 1886, was engaged in car pentering at Newmarket, when a chisel siipjied and cut his face. Dr. Coom at tended him and dressed the wound, and sent him to the Hospital. Dr. Bond was away, and if the nurse had wiped off the blood nothing more would have been heard about the case. There was another case ofacripplew ho was said to have been crippled for life by the treatment he had received. This case he knew nothing about, but it must have occurred three or four years ago., Then the Chairman had charged the staff' with experimenting with human life. It was a strauge remark to make. Mr Mays did not remember having made such a charge. The newspaper report was referred to, and it was then found that Mr Goldie had made the statement. Dr. Haines went on to say that as for at tendance, ho had a return showing 173 at tendances out of 213.

Mr Goldie replied traversing much of the ground gone over by Dr. .Haines. A general discussion ensued, in the course of which Dr. Haines said the Medical Staff desired to see two resident medical men of equally high qualifications obtained for the Hospital, so that it might never be left without someone in charge. These gentle

men might perform operations in case of immediate necessity, but the rule should be to leave all possible cases for treatment by the Visiting Stafl. If they had another man like Dr. Lindsay the staff would bo satisfied. Dr. Macgregor asked if it was true that the Honorary Staff would refuse to serve if a resident medical officer with full control wore appointed. Dr. Haines replied that there would be no alternative for them, as in such a position they would be merely "dressers" to the resident officer.

Messrs Kidd, Isaacs and Wilson having spoken, the Chairman invited Dr. Mac gregor to address the Board. Dr. Macgregor then strongly urged both parties to let bygones be bygones, shake hands across the table, and resolve to work amicably together for the future, lie sym pathised* with the Board's desire to end con stant dispute arising from professional differences, but expressed his firm belief that tlie system advocated by the Visiting Staff was the best for the city. In conclu sion he handed in a copy of a letter he had written to Mr Mackcchnie, and which he said fully disclosed his views. The letter was as follows : —

Lunacy Ofiloe. Wellington, nth June. 1536. Mr Mnckochiiic. TJoi.ii' Sir, —[ have only just re- I turned from a long visit of inspection in the ! Middle island, and am therefore obliged to answer your letter in a hurry. The chief con sideration which must determine the point on which you desire an opinion seems to me to be the following; :—l. which plan is most likely to realise the charitable and humanitarian objects of the Hospital? 2. Which is most likely to advance the scientific study of medicine and to spread its advantages among the community at large? 3. What on the whole is cheapest in the interest of the taxpayers ?—1 think the answers to the first and third mainly depend on how we answer the second. It seems plain to me that in an hospital like that, of Auckland, a resident medical staffreally means one well-paid medical ollieer with, perhaps, a cheap assistant. This plan, I have no doubt, lias great attractions iv our democratic community to the go verning committee. It promises immunity from the endless heartburnings and jealous ies apparently inseparable from an honor ary visiting staff, and greatly simplified the whole organisation. On the other hand, with a committee whoso members are mostly men engaged in active business, the resident doctor will tend Io become a feature, and his special knowledge will make him master of the situation. The interest mid vigilance of the committee will gradually relax, improvements in the sludy and treatment ot disease will lose the stimulus of competition; and the patients will suffer. The stimulus of competition is of supreme importance, and it more than repays the inevitable price we must pay for it. The saving virtue of open hospital practice is, that ri doctor's every act is open to the criticism of his poors, and if he .nakes a mistake, it is known to the whole hospital staff; whereas, in a closed hospital, as in private practice, a man may venture experiments and make mistakes" without discovery, on account of the inability of the onlookers to understand. In the intjrosts of the patients on this ground alono. 1 conclude against a resident medi cal staff. Cn other grounds; which directly bear on the efficiency of the me dical profession, yet which indirectly benefit hospital patients and the community as a whole, 1 believe it is in jurious i;i our large towns tc limit the advant ages oi" hospital practice. It. is of the utmost im portance that the position of resident surgeon in the Hospital should noc for any length of time bo filled by one or two men It is a position which, in the public interest, ought to be open to as many men as possible, as a preparation for and a stepping stone to private practice. Again, the value and advantage of a position on the Hospital Staff is incalculable to every practi tioner as well as to hispatients. Such n positi n Kive3 a man of energy and ability a chance of building up a sound reputation, of securing a re munerative practice, mid of gaining an experi ence which nothing but an hospital can fu- nish. Finally, I am of opinion that on grounds of OCOnomy, and in the interests of the taxpayer, it is better to have an honorary medical staff, with a resident surgeon who values the appoint ment not so much for the salary as for tho ex perience which it gives. A constant succession of young men with fresh ideas, and ambitious of 'success in practice, is best for tho interests of the patients, the advancement of medical science, and the pockets of tho ratepayers, while the presence of an honorary staff secures the necessary caution and experience. The only drawback is, that tho committee will have much more trouble, and must exercise a great, deal of vigilance ; but oven this has its advantages in our self-governing communi ties. Of course, if you hope to get a medical school, the Hospital must be open to the profes sion.—l am. &c, D. MACGRKOOR.

Finally, it was resolved—(l) "That a meeting be convened of the Board and the Honorary Medical Stall'to discuss the whole question of Hospital management, with a view to arriving at some satisfactory basis upon which such management shu.ll bo conducted for the future." (2) "That the meeting be held on the 28th inst. at 7 p.m." And on Dr. Haincs pressing for the with drawal of charges made against the visiting staff, (3) "That this Board regret that some statements made at its meetings should have given offence to the Medical St-ii!', and trust that good feeling will in future exist between the Board and the Visiting Staff." A vote of thanks was passed to Dr. Macgregor for his attendance.
