Book Description

Excerpt from Surgical Anatomy for Students This work contains the substance of a series of demonstra tions, delivered by myself, to students in course of preparation for the final examinations. The book is intended for students to use with the living model. The study of Surgical Anatomy from illustrations alone is answerable for many of the rejections in this subject at the final examinations. N 0 picture or description will enable a student to instantly compress the. Subclavian artery, place his finger on a given prominence, or name a deeply seated tendon. These demonstrations have always been given upon the living subject, and I insist that students should actually feel and delineate the structures discussed. The allusions 'to operations and injuries are intended to give interest to the text. Knowledge of a surgical operation, to be of practical value, should be complete in every detail. The scope of a work of this nature, forbids that it should in any way be regarded, as a guide to the Operations of Surgery.
