MIDWIFERY PRACTICE.
TOO MUCH SURGERY. . CHRISTCHURCH DOCTOR'S VIEW. (By Telegraph.—Special to "Star.") • CHRISTCHUBCH, this day. The view that the post-graduate instruction of medical practitioners in midwifery is necessary, even if only to combat the very prevalent belief that surgery is a cure for lack of obstetrical experience, is advanced b/ Dr. Henry Jellett, of Christchurch, consulting obstetrician to the Health Department, in a report to the Department on maternal welfare.
Dr. Jellett adds: "I refer particularly to the increasing tendency, not only in New Zealand, but elsewhere, to perform the 'Caesarean section , for so many types of obstetrical complication."
