HOSPITAL PROBLEMS.
NOT CONFINEW TO N.Z. LONDON B.M.A. DISCUSSION. "It seems that the other overseas Dominions have the same troubles with their hospitals—the type of patients they shall deal with—ns we do," said Dr. M. M. Hockin, medical . superintendent of the Waikato Public Hospital, who returned by tho Matingamii this morning from attending a holiday abroad. While in London he attended tho centenary conference of the B.M.A. as tho representative of the South Auckland division. He was accompanied by Mrs. Hockin. J)r. Hockin said he had come to that opinion, after hearing the discussion at tho conference, where the question of patients was dealt with. Much the same questions as the hospital authorities were disking in the Dominion wore being asked in other parte of the Empire. Further details he preferred not to give, as tho matter was controversial, and unanimity had not been reached.
Everything of interest to the medical world was talked over at the general meeting, including the isver-pressing problem of cancer. "Much was said on this score/ , added the doctor, "but nothing that had not already appeared in past cable news."
