Excerpt from Obstetrics, Normal and Operative
Let us take another example. If in the course of a difficult version the Operator finds it impossible to grasp a knee or foot, the difficulty may sometimes be obviated by the simple expedient of turning the patient upon her side. This is one of the most important facts in the whole range of clinical Obstetrics, and yet, turning to some standard text - book, we find that it is either unknown or unnoticed, but Observe at the same time that considerable space is devoted to the subject of the cause of menstruation.
I have omitted the traditional section on embryology, which has become a science in itself and can be adequately treated only m a separate work. Of course, I would not minimize its importance. A knowledge of physi ology is absolutely necessary to the intelligent practice of medicine, but no one would now think of taking up a large part of a work upon the practice of medicine with a preliminary treatise on physiology. The section on anatomy has been omitted for a similar reason.
